Polyp and tumor microenvironment reprogramming in colorectal cancer: insights from mucosal bacteriome and metabolite crosstalk by Hadi Feizi, Hossein Samadi Kafil, Andrey Plotnikov, Vladimir Kataev, Alexander Balkin, Ekaterina Filonchikova, Mohammad Ahangarzadeh Rezaee, Reza Ghotaslou, Mohammad Sadrkabir, Hiva Kadkhoda, Fadhil S. Kamounah, Sergei Nikitin

“…Conclusion These results proposed that beneficial bacteria including the Lachnospiraceae family depletion cross-talk with acetoacetate and BHB accumulations followed by an increased abundance of driver bacteria including G. morbillorum, and M. morganii may reprogram polyp microenvironment leading to tumor initiation. Consequently, passenger bacteria accumulation like A. enteropelogenes, A.veronii, and F. nucleatum subsp. animalis cross-talking fumarate in the TME may aggravate cancer development. …”
