The Colibactin-ProducingEscherichia colialters the tumor microenvironment to immunosuppressive lipid overload facilitating colorectal cancer progression and chemoresistance
Abstract:The cellular heterogeneity within a variety of solid tumors is influenced by several type of tumor-associated bacteria through yet poorly understood mechanisms. Unbiased genomic analysis revealed that right-sided colorectal tumors with poorer prognosis are preferentially populated with species related to Escherichia coli, including strains that are producing colibactin. By applying metabolomic profiling in situ, the presence of colibactin-producing Escherichia coli (CoPEC) was identified to establish a high-gl… Show more
