荷兰马克西玛公主小儿肿瘤学中心Hans CleversRuben van Boxtel研究组揭示遗传毒性pks +大肠杆菌在大肠癌(CRC)中的突变特征。这一研究成果发表在2020227日出版的《自然》杂志上。

他们通过在5个月的时间内反复进行腔内注射,将人类肠道类器官接触具有遗传毒性的pks +大肠杆菌。接触前后的克隆类器官的全基因组测序揭示了独特的突变特征,而注射等位基因pks突变细菌的类器官没有这种特征。在两个独立研究中的5876个人类癌症基因组亚群集中检测到相同的突变特征,主要在CRC中。他们的研究描述了CRC中独特的突变特征,并表明潜在的突变过程直接来自于过去接触携带产生大肠杆菌素pks致病岛的细菌。

研究人员表示,肠道菌群的各种物种与CRC进展有关,但尚未确定细菌在致癌突变中的直接作用。大肠杆菌可以携带致病岛pks,该pks编码一组合成黏菌素的酶。据悉该化合物可将腺嘌呤残基上的DNA烷基化,并在培养细胞中诱导双链断裂。

Abstract: Various species of the intestinal microbiota have been associated with the development of colorectal cancer (CRC)1,2, yet a direct role of bacteria in the occurrence of oncogenic mutations has not been established. Escherichia coli can carry the pathogenicity island pks, which encodes a set of enzymes that synthesize colibactin3. This compound is believed to alkylate DNA on adenine residues4,5 and induces double-strand breaks in cultured cells3. Here, we expose human intestinal organoids to genotoxic pks+ E. coli by repeated luminal injection over a period of 5 months. Whole-genome sequencing of clonal organoids before and after this exposure reveals a distinct mutational signature, absent from organoids injected with isogenic pks-mutant bacteria. The same mutational signature is detected in a subset of 5,876 human cancer genomes from two independent cohorts, predominantly in CRC. Our study describes a distinct mutational signature in CRC and implies that the underlying mutational process directly results from past exposure to bacteria carrying the colibactin-producing pks pathogenicity island.
