“…In this study we demonstrate that GPR4-driven intestinal inflammation can increase the development of colorectal tumorigenesis in a colitis-associated colorectal cancer mouse model. Our observations are in line with previous reports establishing a proinflammatory role for GPR4 in several systems such as the brain, heart, kidney, lung, bone, skin, and the gastrointestinal tract [16,18,19,20,33,43,44,45,46,47,48,49]. In addition, GPR4 has a protumorigenic role in hepatocellular, head and neck, breast and colorectal cancers [27,28,29].…”
