Recent research has found that the Intestinal bacteria, particularly the Desulfovibrio group, may play a significant role in the growth of breast tumors, especially in the presence of a high fat diet. This study, conducted on mice and humans, highlighted how a high-fat diet increases the number of these bacteria, suppressing the immune system and accelerating the growth of tumors.
Scientists analyzed tissue and stool samples from 61 people with breast cancer, finding that women with a body mass index (BMI) above 24 had higher levels of the bacteria. For confirm these results, experiments were conducted on mice fed a high-fat diet. The results showed an increase in bacteria Desulfovibrio and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which inhibit the immune system.
The implications of the discovery on intestinal bacteria
This discovery could open new avenues for the development of breast cancer therapies. Scientists suggest that reduce bacteria Desulfovibrio in the intestinal tract it could be an effective strategy to improve immune responses and limit tumor growth.
