Bacteroides fragilis Toxin Coordinates a Pro-carcinogenic Inflammatory Cascade via Targeting of Colonic Epithelial Cells (Cell Host & Microbe)
 


Chung et al. uncover a complex, microbe-driven carcinogenic mechanism whereby the Bacteroides fragilis toxin targets the colonic epithelium to trigger an IL-17 mucosal immune response that relays back to epithelial cells, inciting pro-tumoral myeloid cell infiltration, principally to the distal colon, corresponding to the region of tumorigenesis in ApcMin/- mice.
