Pan Gu Di Li Gang Xu Yingnan Sun Minghua Wu

Abstract

Gut microbiome affects multiple facets of human health and is inextricably linked to tumorigenesis. Substantial research has aimed to understand how gut microbiome functions in the homeostasis of our body. This review explores the evidence demonstrating how the gut microbiome may affect body health， thereby having an impact on metabolism， protection， nutrition and some anatomical-functional relationship. Alterations in gut microbiota composition have been associated with plenty disorders. Of interest， majority of researches demonstrate the role of microbiota in cancer. However， they haven’t been classified systematically. We divided them into tumor in situ， gut-biliary tract cancer axis， gut-breast cancer axis， gut-haematopoiesis cancer axis and gut-brain cancer axis. In addition， we introduce the latest method in diagnosis and treatment of related cancer.

Keywords：Gut microbiome;Function;Cancer;Axis;Diagnosis; Treatment

1. Introduction

The human body is a nutritious culture medium， supporting the growth of a wide variety of microbial species[1]. There has been estimated that 10[14]microorganisms reside in various parts of the human body including skin surfaces and body cavities， among which the intestinal tract possess the major taxonomic units and genetic contents[2]. It is also estimated that the number of bacteria we carry reach 1011 per gram of luminal content[3]. Microbiome defined as a community of microorganisms especially indicate those living in or on the human body， while here， we mainly focused on the gut microbiota， the microbial community in digestive tract involving stomach， small intestine， and large intestine[4].

Gut microbiota could be easily affected by environmental changes （infection， diet or lifestyle）， resulting in symbiotic imbalance and disease. Evidence in mounting numbers indicates gut microbiota play a key role in carcinogenesis. As we all known， hallmarks of cancer are comprised of eight biological capabilities such as sustained proliferation， growth suppression evasion， tissue invasion and metastasis， replicative immortality， angiogenesis induction， cell death resistance， altered cellular energetics， and immune evasion[5]. Conceptual progress recently has added more emerging hallmarks of potential generality to previous list like escape of circadian regulation[6]，development of genomic instability and inflammatory state of premalignant and frankly malignant lesions. Nevertheless， gut microbiota may contribute to all above the tumor hallmarks.

2. What’s the Normal Function of Gut Microbiota？

With the development of high throughput metagenomic gene sequencing technology， more and more researches are being increasingly recognized that gut microbiota exceeds human genome in number and has close interaction with human homeostasis， maintaining health[7，8].

The main known functions of the gut microbiota can be broadly classified into three groups： metabolic group functioned in digestion of food， protective group functioned in protecting against pathogens， and trophic group functioned in controlling proliferation and differentiation of epithelial cells.

3. Metabolism

Gut microbiota has essential influence on energy harvest from the dietary carbohydrates and energy reservation. The main mechanism are hydrolysis and subsequent fermentation.The microbial metabolite indole promotes barrier function through the pregnane X receptor[9]. Colonic organisms such as Bacteroides， Roseburia， Bifidobacterium， Fecal bacterium， and Enterobacteria generate short chain fatty acids （SCFA） through fermentation of the carbohydrates， supplying plenty energy[10，11]. The SCFAs accompanied Peptide Tyrosine Tyrosine/Pancreatic Peptide YY3-36 （PYY） reversely reduce appetite and alter the energy metabolism to keep fit[12，13]. Furthermore， Oxalobacter formigenes， Lactobacillus， and Bifidobacterium prevent the synthesis of oxalate to reduce the risk of kidney stone formation[14].Amino acids （AA） decomposed from diet is significant in maintaining functional intestinal mucosal[15]. It can also directly incorporate into bacterial cells， involved in latter synthesis and bioavailability[16]. For instance， L­histidine and glutamate can be converted to histamine and G-amino butyric acid （GABA） respectively by the bacterial enzyme[17，18]. When it comes to plant-derived products， gut microbiota is also participated in metabolism of polyphenols， microbial-derived phenolic acids， which is characterized by bioactive potential like antioxidant， anticarcinogenic， anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective[19]. Researchers found that some polyphenols can cross the blood brain barrier and reach the brain in a significant concentration and block the formation of amyloid aggregates， performing the modulatory effect on Alzheimer’s disease[20]. Reversely， polyphenols can also modulate the composition of gut microbiota to reach a balance[21，22]. Gut microbiota regulate the host’s lipid metabolism mainly through （i） variation of lipoprotein cholesterol levels[23]， （ii） synthesis of secondary bile acids[24]， （iii） modulation of endocannabinoid system[25]， （iv） LPS- mediated inflammation[26]， （v） inhibition of lipoprotein lipase activity in adipocytes[27]. Similarly， lipid can also regulate gut microbiota composition. Polyunsaturated fatty acids accumulation will result in a decrease in Faecalibacterium， and increase in Bacteroidetes and butyrate-producing bacteria[28].As to other metabolism， an interesting example is drug metabolism that the microbial β­glucoronidase will cause deconjugation of the anticancer drug irinotecan and lead to diarrhea， inflammation and anorexia[29].

4. Protection

In order to protect host against colonization by pathogens， gut microbiota cooperates with immune systems[30].Innate immune system can sense microorganisms at once and the metabolic products functioned as signal will induce quick responses[31].The intestinal mucus layer is able to keep mutualism by keeping bacteria at bay and restricting overt immune stimulation[32]. Researchers found that gut microbiota play an important role in remodeling intestinal immune microenvironment. Firstly， the level of myelopoiesis as well as microglia correlates with the complexity of the gut microbiota[33]， which might be regulated by SCFAs[34]. In addition， gut microbiota also controls the transportation of those cells in the gut and replenish monocytes in the intestinal mucosa through expressing C-C chemokine receptor type 2 （CCR2）[35]. Apart from innate immune cells， lymphoid cells can only function well with microbial colonization[36]. Lymphotoxin-α produced by lymphoid cells is crucial for the generation of IgA[37]. IL-22 secreted by lymphoid cells will induce expression of the enzyme fucosyltransferase 2 and fucosylation of surface proteins by intestinal epithelial cells， which is required for host defense against enteric pathogens[23].

5. Nutrient

Gut microbiota-derived SCFAs are energy source for the epithelium. What’s more， SCFAs can strengthen epithelial barrier through oxygen consumption and hypoxia-inducible factor[38]. Butyrate， which considered as the strongest effect SCFA， could modify and repair the microstructure of the small and large intestine， accelerating intestinal mucosa maturation during the development. Hence， through regulate gene expression and protein synthesis， SCFAs possess the ability to enhance proliferation， differentiation， and maturation and reduces apoptosis of normal enterocytes in the small intestine. In colon， the absence of SCFAs induces massive apoptosis in colonocytes. For example， SCFAs might not the only energy source for these cells， but the indirect effect of SCFAs including stimulation of gastrointestinal peptides and growth factors releasing may play a key role in cell proliferation [39].

6. Other Functions

There is a close anatomical and functional relationship between the intestinal tract and the liver which is known as gut-liver axis， which was found to be a major reason in the development and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） and obesity.This may attribute to molecules generated by abnormal gut microbiome （overgrowth of small intestinal bacteria， intestinal dysbiosis and increased permeability of intestinal） could be transferred to the liver. As the incidence of NAFLD is increasing， gut-liver axis is treated as a promising target for NAFLD therapy[40]. In addition to the gut-liver axis， the enteric nervous system is another investigational focus. The brain nervous system development might be affected in the absence of a gut microbiota compared with normal animals[41]， indicating that the importance of long-lasting effects of appropriate microbial colonization. Gut microbiota is reported with the ability to produce neuroactive metabolites， such as SCFA and ketone bodies[42，43]; phenolic acids[44，45]; steroids[46]; AAs and their derivatives [47，48]; catecholamines[49]. Such metabolites functioned through direct interaction with intestinal tract’s receptors and diffusion effect to stimulate neurophysiology[50]. Indeed， huge array of biologically active substances could be produced by gut microbiota to influence motility and other function of intestinal tract[51]. What’s more， investigators proved gut microbiota also influence cerebral metabolites through the microbiota-gut-brain axis. People with normal gut microbiota are more likely gain brain health[52]， which is helpful in discovery of newly therapeutic target for some neurological disorders like stress-induced pathological conditions[53].

1. How Gut Microbiota Induce Cancer？

As what we mentioned above， gut microbiota plays an important role in maintaining mental and physical health[54]. Although we candepict how some bacteria servant in physiological activities， the role of most bacterial species in health and disease remains largely unknown[55]. Colorectal cancer burden （CRC） was substantially increase since some unhealth lifestyle was adapted[56]. Factors like consumption of foods， lifestyle， genetic polymorphisms and aging affect not only microbiota composition but also cancer susceptibility[57-59]. Some studies have supported specific bacterial agents participant in tumorigenesis including Helicobacter pylori （H. pylori）[60] and human papillomavirus[61]. Herein， we discuss how it work through host-microbe， microbe-microbe， and environmental interactions in both colorectal cancer and non-intestinal cancers.

7.1. Colorectal cancer

As a common malignancy in the world， CRC accompanied with the adoption of western lifestyle in recent years in China， the 5-year prevalence proportion has reached 74.6 - 58.3 per 100，000[62]. Data in China was updated that more than 376， 000 new CRC patients and 191，000 deaths occur every year[63]. According to the epidemiological studies， several lifestyle factors that affect the risk for developing CRC. Ranging from enteric fungal microbiota to bacterial， can contribute to CRC with commensal system break up[64]. The way that gut microbiota induce CRC can be summarized as the following.

1.1.1. Chronic inflammation drives carcinogenesis and sustain a pro-inflammatory microenvironment

Chronic inflammation drives carcinogenesis was widely established in the long run. However， it has been verified recently in molecular biological level. Numerous genes were found altered through metagenomic analysis among the healthy， adenoma， and CRC patients[65]. Further analysis discovered that patients with CRC have high level of red meat consumption associated with highly expressed C-reaction protein.What’s more some bacterial metabolites were different among groups. It is identified that Fusobacterium， Parvimonas， Gemella， and Leptotrichia were enriched in early-stage colorectal cancer and the abundance  of anti-inflammatory F. prausnitzii were lost [66]， inducing inflammation in intestinal tract which also promoted the change of microbiome community and facilitate bacterial translocation into neoplastic tissue. The cumulative effect will further enhance the expression of inflammatory cytokines and lead to tumor formation[67]. Gut microbiota could also sustain a pro-inflammatory microenvironment through recruitment of immune cells to drive carcinogenesis.[68]

1.1.2. Direct ways and indirect ways to elicit DNA damage and alter gene expression

Some bacteria can promote carcinogenesis in a direct way to elicit DNA damage. For example， E.coli was proved to express Colibactin gene， inducing DNA damage， chromosome aberrations and increased gene mutations in vivo[69，70]. Colibactin warhead possessed the ability to directly bind to the duplex DNA with Spiro bicyclic structure. The bind will lead to depletion of the DNA mismatch repair system[71]. Another gut microbiota secreted substance with DNA damage ability to promote carcinogenesis indirectly[72]. Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides Fragilis encode B.fragilis metalloprotease toxin （BFT） which will induce diarrhea[73]. The secretion of enterotoxin BFT could also increase the polyamine metabolism and induce DNA damage[74，75].

1.2. Gut-liver cancer axis

With respect to liver cancer， the second leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide， NAFLD has been implicated as the third cause of hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） worldwide[76，77]. The gut-liver axis plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD induced HCC. Communicates between intestine and liver are released bile acids and some bioactive mediators. Gut microbiota metabolize endogenous and exogenous substrates will translocate to the liver through the portal vein and influence liver functions[78]. Diet could cause gut dysbiosis which subsequently leads to overproduction of volatile organic compounds， mitochondrial enzymes， and damage to the liver[79]. Another example is related to deoxycholic acid （DCA）， an obesity-induced gut microbial metabolite. It is reported that hepatic translocation of DCA will induce the senescence of hepatic stellate cells （HSCs）[80]. When it comes to alcoholic liver disease， which may also lead to hepatocellular carcinoma. Excessive intake of alcohol greatly hurt the gut barrier， influence its permeability and alter microbiota composition[81]. It is reported that chronic ethanol will affect several microbiotas and increase bacterial translocation， leading to the dysfunction of immune system[82].

1.3. Gut-Biliary tract cancer axis

In some countries of eastern Asia， cholangiocarcinoma （CCA） was related to the infection of liver flukes Opisthorchis， as well as Clonorchis. Nevertheless， expect from these endemic regions， the main cause of CCA attributes to the chronic inflammation of bile ducts epithelium. This characteristic in common indicate that the presence of gut microbiota metabolites and its influence on immune system may participate in the inflamtory process. Previous researches in animal models have shown that infection with Opisthorchis changes the gut microbiota both in the bile and in intestinal tract， resulting in several bacteria colonization， such as Lachnospiraceae， Ruminococcaceae and Lactobacillaceae families. Also， the community was changed with the loss of Porphyromonadaceae， Erysipelotrichaceae and Eubacteriaceae[83]. What’s more， H. pylori， a common pathogen in gastrointestinal morbidity， was also reported to induce hepatobiliary diseases[84].

1.4. Gut-lung cancer axis

Recently， the function of gut microbiota in lung cancer attracted focus. The gut-lung axis mainly indicates the inflammation of blood vessels caused by translocation of bacteria and bacterial products across the gastrointestinal tract barrier[85]. Chronic lung diseases such as COPD， asthma and cancer usually occur along with gastrointestinal disorders. The most mutual hypothesis is that gut microbiota influence lung immunity. The intestinal microbiota is broadly protective against respiratory infection[86]. A study also found that segmented filamentous bacteria （SFB） play an important role in immunocompetent adaptive protection against S. pneumoniae infection. However， SFB could expand dual T cell receptor （TCR）-expressing Th17 cells and bring out autoimmunity[87]. The induced autoimmunity may elevate IL-6 and IL-8 during inflammatory stress. IL-6 and IL-8 may impact on lung epithelial cells resulting in involved in tumorigenesis through stimulation of NF-B-1 pathway[88]. Furthermore， IL-6 and IL-8 may also act in proliferation， migration， and invasion pf lung cancer since they were found over expressed in premalignant or senescent lung cancer cells.

1.5. Gut-breast cancer axis

Gut microbiota may influence estrogen levels to enhance the risk of breast cancer since they play an important role of in modulation of systemic estrogens[89]. Other than metabolism of oestrogens[90]， microbiota affects the enterohepatic circulation of estrogens. The possibility of breast cancer increased with heavy estrogen burden through enhanced reabsorption of free estrogen owing to estrobolome enrichment[91，92]. Apart from the influence on enterohepatic circulation of estrogens mentioned above， thegut-breastaxis also can make a difference in breast cancer through the production of secondary bile acids as well[93]. Gut microbiota is responsible for converting primary bile acids to secondary bile acids， forming certain concentrations in human serum and breast tissue[94]. Lithocholic acid （LCA）， a bacterial metabolite， is reported with the function of reducing proliferation and aggressiveness of breast cancer cells through inducing oxidative phosphorylation （OXPHOS）， the trichloroacetic acid （TCA） cycle and antitumor immunity. The biosynthesis of LCA is regulated by gut microbiota such as Clostridium sordelli， Escherichia coli， Staphylococcus haemolyticus and so on[95].

1.6. Gut-haematopoiesis cancer axis

In 2018， Nature reported that somatic mutations in tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2 （TET2）， which encodes an epigenetic modifier enzyme， drive the development of haematopoietic malignancies[96]. TET2 expression can be regulated by bacterial translocation and the subsequent interleukin-6 production in leukemia. Pre-leukaemic myeloproliferation occurs in only a fraction of Tet2−/− mice and humans with TET2 mutations， suggesting that extrinsic non-cell-autonomous factors are required for disease onset. TET2 deficiency leads to increased self-renewal of haematopoietic stem cells with a net developmental bias towards the myeloid lineage. However， It is reported that pre-leukaemic myeloproliferation can be reversed by antibiotic treatment and fail to develop in microbiota-free Tet2?/− mice， which means the dysfunction of the small-intestinal barrier which caused bacterial translocation and increased interleukin-6 production may have some positive effects in the progress in PMP[97].

1.7. Gut-brain cancer axis

The gut-brain axis is included in complicated communication pathway including the central nervous system （CNS）， neuroendocrine system， neuroimmune systems， autonomic nervous system， and the enteric nervous system. Gut microbiota can affect brain development and behaviors and conversely， brain signals can also regulate the gut microbiota[98]. Accumulating data indicate that the gut microbiota communicates with the CNS through gut-brain axis possibly through metabolites （SCFA）， neuroendocrine axis （HPA Axis）， vagus nerve and immune pathways and thereby influences brain function and behavior[99，100]. However， how gut microbiota influence brain cancer haven’t been investigated. Some related study conveyed the gut microbiota can induce inflammatory in brain. For example， corticotrophin release factor 1 （CRFR1）， a neuromodulator in the colon， is responsible for stress-induced permeability dysfunction and modulation of mucosal immune and inflammatory responses[101].In nature 2018， Veit rothhammer， Davis M. Borucki et al. clearly put forward that intestinal microbial metabolites inhibiting CNS inflammation and affecting the pathogenicity of microglia and astrocytes[102]. However， our current understanding of how microbial affect vagal functions and subsequently signaling to the brain and how they communicate remains inadequate. Kristoffer L. Egerod， Natalia Petersen et al. determined the expression profile of all G protein-coupled receptors （GPCRs） in the vagal afferents of the mouse， especially vagal afferents who expressed NaV1.8 is richly innervating the entire GI mucosa[103]. Exposure of microbiota-free adult mice to a pathogen-free gut microbiota will decrease the permeability of blood-brain barrier and increase the expression of tight junction proteins[104]. Intestinal permeability is associated with systemic inflammation. Intestinal permeability may also induce the inflammation in the brain[104]. Last but not least， Camille Jacqueline and his team investigate that brain cancer could be associated with alterations in the intestinal microbial community for the first time. They identified a bacterial signature that cancerous larvae had a significantly lower relative abundance of Bacillaceae than individuals who did not develop the brain cancer[105].

1. Is It Credible to Apply to Diagnose？

Based on perturbation of these microbial communities might be associated with different types of cancer， we can suppose that bacterium could function as a marker for the development of cancer[106]. The current study demonstrated that the gut microbiome can be used as an effective tool in early screening for colorectal cancer. Streptococcus gallolyticus is proved to have the potential in indicating occult colonic adenomas and CRC[107]. Furthermore， gut microbiome showed its ability in distinguishing adenoma from carcinoma， with combination of several known demographical factors[108]. The effectiveness of gut microbiota test was proved similar to fecal occult blood test （FOBT） in colorectal cancer detection[109]. Although the gut microbiota could not singly indicate the occurrence of CRC， such as Fusobacterium nucletum， the existence could somehow clue the high-grade dysplasia and a relatively unfavorable clinical outcome[110]. A large cohort reproved the association between Fusobacterium nucletum and CRC[111，112]. The poor prognosis may owe to the decreased T-cell infiltration in the cancer sites[113].

2. What Can We Do as to Microbiota Targeted Therapy？

Gut microbiota also showed great potential in cancer therapy. Bacteroidetes and bifidobacteria was reported to enhance the treatment outcome through activating T cells[114]. They can strengthen the anti-tumor effect as a checkpoint blockade to inhibit tumor growth[115]by targeting the CD8+ T cells in the microenvironment[116]. Science also reported that gut microbiome may enhance the efficiency of PD-1 based immunotherapy against epithelial tumors including advanced melanoma， non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC）， and renal cell carcinoma （RCC）[117]. Although the actual mechanism of PD-1 blockade enhancement still a mystery， the study put forward the possibility of combining microbiota and immunotherapy. Apart from immunotherapy， the combination of gut microbiota and chemical therapy also showed great significance. As a common antitumor drug， cisplatin could be applied to many kinds of cancer to mediate DNA damage of over-proliferated cells. However， fecal microbial transplantation （FMT） before chemotherapy could reduce the hurt of intestinal integrity caused by drug and bring down the possibility of systemic inflammation[118]. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii was found with the ability to upregulate the proliferation of T cells and reduce the number of IFN-γ+ T cells， creating an anti-inflammatory effect[119]. Last but not least， not only probiotics but also some SCFA seem to be a safe approach with the conjunction of conventional treatment[120].

Matrix metalloproteinases （MMPs）， a family of zinc dependent endopeptidases， is reported to mediate inflammation， tissue remodeling， and tumorigenesis， among which MMP9 is the most unique one. MMP9 could only be detected up-regulated during inflammation and cancer with a protective role in tumorgenesis. On one hand， MMP9promotes the beneficial microbiota population and controls the ROS production. On the other， MMP9 restores the DNA damage via activation of the MMR pathway. This implies the use of targeted MMP9 inhibitors in CAC treatment therapies[121]. Bidisha Paul et.al found that genistein， an isoflavone found in soy， increased the os of breast tumor and reducing tumor growth through microbial alterations[122]. Alteration of microbiota abundance and/or composition could contribute to the therapy effect for breast tumor.

3. Where Can We Polish up？

3.1. Biases according to different DNA extraction protocols

DNA extraction of fecal samples in different protocols might introduce bias into the composition of gut microbiota[123]. The protocols can be divided into physical ways and chemical methods. When the chemical methods were used， bacteria may show diverse resistance to different chemical agents[124]. The chemistry used may destroy the bacterial cell wall incompletely， leading to under- or over-estimation of different bacteria. Then， the composition of the gut microbiota might be improperly evaluated. Since there is no “gold standard” method for DNA extraction， some investigators prefer to combining several extraction methods to present the true community of gut microbota[125].

3.2. Lack of cohort studies with prospective design

Majority of studies were based on mouse models and the researches couldn’t distinguish whether the microbiota is the cause or the result of carcinogenesis[126]. Last but not least， most of the study focused on the microbiota composition by 16S rRNA sequencing. Very few is known regarding the function of gut microbiota. Meta-genomic or meta-transcriptomic studies are in need. Functional analysis of gut microbiota would not only help us understanding the underlying mechanism for the link of bacteria and cancer， they may also help explain the inconsistent findings across studies.

3.3. Other deficiency and future questions

There remains a great deal of problems to solve such as the distinguish between “good” and “bad” bacteria， the detailed cellular mechanisms that are orchestrated by the gut microbiota and manipulation of the gut microbiota for benefit.

Conclusion

The mutualistic relationship between the host and gut microbiota favors mutual growth， survival and well-being. Despite numerous time and plenty development in understanding the composition of gut microbiota， many mechanisms remain uncovered. Nevertheless， there is no denying the fact that gut microbiota impacts human health and disease through different axis， and the promising aspect worth studying and application. Notably， prohibit the abuse of antibiotics must be enforced in that emerging data reveal that antibiotics can detrimentally regulate microflora[127]. With the application and integration of different types of data， the mechanism of how act in normal physiological activities and tumor formation will be explored. More importantly， gut microbiota-based therapy will be invented with the discovery of the mechanism. To conclude， more evidence is required in explicit the mechanism of gut microbiota in cancer environment， as well as more clinical practice in cancer therapy.
