Dietary iron modulates gut microbiota and induces SLPI secretion to promote colorectal tumorigenesis

Abstract excerpt

Dietary iron intake is closely related to the incidence of colorectal cancer. However, the interactions among dietary iron, gut microbiota, and epithelial cells in promoting tumorigenesis have rarely been discussed. Here, we report that gut microbiota plays a crucial role in promoting colorectal tumorigenesis in multiple mice models under excessive dietary iron intake. Gut microbiota modulated by excessive...
