Abstract:
The human body carries trillions of bacteria,most of which have formed a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with the human body.Dysregulation of bacterial communities or infection by pathogenic bacteria can have a negative impact on human health through inflammation and secretion of metabolites,leading to the occurrence of various diseases,including tumors.Bacteria can affect the occurrence and development of tumors in the human body.On the one hand,bacteria can promote the occurrence of tumors by inducing chronic inflammation,causing DNA damage,activating core oncogenic signaling pathways,and other mechanisms.On the other hand,tumor growth can be suppressed through its own oncolytic activity or activation of adaptive immune cells.In addition,through genetic engineering modification,some bacteria designed as low toxicity and efficient drug delivery have been successfully used in animal models or clinical trials for tumor treatment.This article reviews recent literature on how bacteria promote the development of tumors and their applications in cancer treatment,with the aim of providing a new therapeutic approach for cancer treatment.
