Although the gut microbiome has been linked to colorectal cancer (CRC) development, associations of microbial taxa with CRC status are often inconsistent across studies. We have recently shown that tumor genomics, a factor that is rarely incorporated in analyses of the CRC microbiome, has a strong effect on the composition of the microbiota. Here, we discuss these results in the wider context of studies characterizing interaction between host genetics and the microbiome, and describe the implications of our findings for understanding the role of the microbiome in CRC.
虽然肠道微生物群与结直肠癌 (CRC) 的发展有关,但微生物类群与 CRC 状态的关联在不同的研究中往往不一致。我们最近表明,肿瘤基因组学是很少纳入 CRC 微生物组分析的一个因素,对微生物群落的组成有很强的影响。在这里,我们在更广泛的范围内讨论这些结果,这些研究描述了宿主遗传学和微生物组之间相互作用,并描述了我们的发现对理解微生物组在 CRC 中的作用的意义。
