German scientists from the Technical University of Munich have published new data on the significant effect of the condition of the intestinal microflora on health. An imbalance of intestinal microflora may trigger the growth of cancerous tumors in the colon, made these professionals.
Scientists have conducted a series of experiments on mice and found that a failure in production of a specific protein ATF6 is expressed in the excessive activity cause the development of cellular stress, which in turn is a prerequisite for the emergence of the tumor.
Until recently it was believed that the bacteria combined with cell stress affect the development of inflammatory processes in the intestine and in the presence of the process of growth of the malignant tumor must be present markers of inflammation. But the authors of the new work made sure that bowel cancer is not always accompanied by inflammation. When activated, transcription of the protein in rodents, is not suffering from inflammation, still showed signs of cancer.
Deciding to test the theory about the impact of dysbiosis on the appearance of cancer in humans, researchers analyzed data from thousands of patients with colorectal cancer. As a result, they have established a relapse occurred with a greater proportion of the failure factor ATF6.
“Manifesting the high activity of the specific protein, may serve as a marker for increased risk of tumor development in the colon. In such cases, it is possible to apply microbial treatment, but first we need to examine the composition of bacteria”, – stated in the end, scientists.
