Role of microbial dysbiosis in carcinogenesis & cancer therapies
The human body supports a heterogeneous population of microorganisms. Every microorganism has the ability to contribute to the unique microenvironment around it. The aim of this review is to discuss the changes in the microbial population and their relative abundance across different ecosystems of t...

The human body supports a heterogeneous population of microorganisms. Every microorganism has the ability to contribute to the unique microenvironment around it. The aim of this review is to discuss the changes in the microbial population and their relative abundance across different ecosystems of the human body, the interactions within the microbial communities, metabolites they secrete to their external environment, their immunomodulatory functions, their signal transduction pathways and how these respond to environmental stimuli such as various diets, alcohol and drug consumption, smoking and finally suggest new therapeutic approaches. The microbiota may leads to cancer through inflammation mediated mechanisms which modulate immune responses, or produce carcinogenic metabolites and genotoxins, or deregulate cell proliferative signalling pathways. The identification of these molecular mechanisms in carcinogenesis may lead to better treatment strategies. In this review we have tried to explore the changes in microbial composition between cancer and normal tissues and what molecular mechanisms provide a connecting link between microbial dysbiosis and cancer. |
