Toll-Like Receptor-4 Promotes the Development of Colitis-Associated Colorectal Tumors

Abstract: Background and Aim-Chronic inflammation is a risk factor for colon cancer in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). The molecular mechanisms linking inflammation and colon carcinogenesis are incompletely understood. We tested the hypothesis that TLR4 is involved in tumorigenesis in the setting of chronic inflammation.

“…Also, studies of colitis-associated neoplasia in humans show COX-2 overexpression in neoplastic lesions (1). Furthermore, in an animal model of colitis-associated cancer, increased mucosal EGFR phosphorylation and COX-2 expression have been reported (21). This correlation between EGFR phosphorylation and increased COX-2 expression in an inflammatory environment is certainly consistent with our results, and it may define a mechanism that explains the different outcomes of tissue toward ulceration or neoplasia.…”

“…It was demonstrated that inflammation-associated genes, such as COX-2, NOS-2, and IFN-inducible gene 1-8U, are up-regulated in inflamed mucosal areas and in CRC. Studies have also shown that activation of TLR4 enhances COX-2 expression and that increasing epidermal growth factor receptor signaling promotes CRC development [54]. Inflammation-associated cytokines, such as IL-6, IL-23, and TNF-a, also contribute to the development and growth of colitis-associated CRC.…”

“…S2). In AOM/DSS model, the tumor cells derive from IECs, IECs express a variety of TLRs, 15 which are activated under inflammatory condition. Previous study has demonstrated that TLRs on IECs serve as more important pro-inflammatory factors in AOM/DSS-induced CAC model.…”

“…14 Previously study reported that mice in the absent of TLR4 are protected from AOM/DSS-induced inflammation-associated tumorigenesis. 15 By generating the bone marrow chimera, the same research group demonstrated that rather than haematopoietic cells, increased TLR4 signaling in IECs is more responsible for higher risk of inflammation-associated neoplasia. 16 Interleukin 27 (IL-27) is a heterodimeric cytokine combined with p28 and Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene (EBI3).…”
