Streptococcus gallolyticus modulates phase I biotransformation enzymes in colorectal cancer cells through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The opportunistic pathogen Streptococcus gallolyticus is one of the few intestinal bacteria that has been consistently linked to colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to identify S. gallolyticus-induced pathways that could on the long-term add to CRC progression. Transcription profiling of S. gallolyticus-exposed CRC-cells revealed the persistent induction of enzymes involved in biotransformation pathways. Specifically, a diffusible factor of S. gallolyticus (SGF-X) interacts with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor thereby inducing CYP1 enzymes that catalyze the bioactivation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into toxic intermediates. Importantly, priming CRC-cells with SGF-X containing medium increased the DNA damaging effect of the PAH 3-methylcholanthrene, which was not observed for other intestinal bacteria. In conclusion, this study shows for the first time that bacteria can modulate the biotransformation capacity of CRC-cells that offers a novel theory for a contributing role of S. gallolyticus in the etiology of sporadic CRC.
