Bacteria along with stress in cells can cause cancer in the colon, even in the absence of inflammation. It was discovered by German scientists from the technical University of Munich, who denied existed until now, the assertion that chronic inflammation leads to deadly bowel disease.
“The formation of tumors depends on a combination of two factors, cellular stress and activity of the intestinal microflora, while the chronic inflammatory processes leading to cancer”, – cites the opinion of researchers in MedicalXpress.
Specialists experimented with mice and found that the risk of malignant tumors in the colon is associated with increased activity of the activated transcription factor ATF6, it was confirmed as during the tests with the microflora of the rodents, and the data analysis of 541 patients.
As it turned out, when excessive activity of ATF6 signs of colon cancer begin to appear when the biochemical analysis and without the presence of inflammation, although the inflammatory process is always evaluated as a decisive factor in the development of neoplastic processes. Scientists claim that increased production of this protein can serve as a marker of colon cancer, because in the background of this overproduction occurs cellular stress, contributing novoobrazovany.
