From pathogen to “living drug factory” innovative strategies and clinical translation of bacteria as programmable intelligent vectors for cancer therapy

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Engineered bacteria serve as smart, living therapeutics that target tumors, deliver drugs, and remodel immunosuppressive microenvironments. This review highlights their potential to potentiate immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, offering a promising paradigm for precise and synergistic cancer treatment. Abstract The dynamic interplay between

The genotoxin colibactin

open access: yesToxicon, 2016
Escherichia coli is a commensal inhabitant of the lower gastrointestinal tract of humans where it is the predominant facultative anaerobic organism. E. coli also belongs to the initial microbiota that colonizes the mammalian gut. Infants are stably colonized by E. coli within a few days after birth. Certain E.

Microbiome and Tumor Microenvironment Interactions: Advances From Ecological Niches to Precision Oncology

open access: yesCancer Nexus, EarlyView.
Tumor‐associated microbiota occupies spatially organized ecological niches and influence cancer progression by reshaping tumor‐cell signaling, metabolism, immunity, stromal remodeling, and therapeutic response. Integrating microbiome‐derived biomarkers, targeted microbial interventions, spatial multi‐omics, longitudinal monitoring, and AI may enable ...

Rho GTPases: Novel Players in the Regulation of the DNA Damage Response?

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2015
The Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1) belongs to the family of Ras-homologous small GTPases. It is well characterized as a membrane-bound signal transducing molecule that is involved in the regulation of cell motility and adhesion as well

Prevalence and Characterization of Some Colibactin Genes in Clinical Enterobacteriaceae isolates from Iraqi Patients

open access: yesمجلة بغداد للعلوم, 2020
The members of the family of Eentrobacteriaceae harbour a gene cluster called polyketide synthase (pks) island. This cluster is responsible for the synthesis of the genotoxin colibactin that might have an important role in the induction of double-strand ...

From DNA Damage to Cancer Progression: Potential Effects of Cytolethal Distending Toxin

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Cytolethal distending toxin (CDT), one of the most important genotoxins, is produced by several gram-negative bacteria and is involved in bacterial pathogenesis.

Oral and Fecal Microbial Dysbiosis as Non‐Invasive Diagnostic Biomarkers for Gastrointestinal Cancers: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Diagnostic Accuracy

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, including esophageal (EC), gastric (GC), and colorectal cancer (CRC), impose a substantial global burden, with early detection remaining crucial for improving patient outcomes. The oral and gut microbiota are increasingly implicated in cancer development and hold promise as sources of non‐invasive biomarkers ...

Genotoxins and the initiation of sporadic breast cancer [PDF]

open access: yesMutagenesis, 2001
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed female malignancy world-wide. The aetiology of the majority of cases remains obscure and the only genotoxin as yet known to initiate breast cancer is ionizing radiation. High penetrance susceptibility genes probably account for no more than 5-10% of cases.

Cytolethal distending toxin enhances Escherichia coli urinary tract infection

open access: yesInfection and Immunity
Cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) is a virulence factor produced by several gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli, the most prevalent etiological agent of urinary tract infections (UTIs). CDT causes DNA damage to eukaryotic cells, leading to
