As you eat, your gut needs to constantly regenerate its lining to undo the damage done by digestive acids. To do this, the gut houses a population of stem cells that can replenish lining cells when needed.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists have found that colorectal cancers often originate from mutations in these stem cells. The most common colorectal cancer-linked mutation is in a gene called APC, which normally acts as a \u201ctumor suppressor\u201d gene because it controls how often cells divide. Mutations in the APC gene can remove that control and allow cells to divide rapidly and become cancerous.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last four decades, Evans and his colleagues have investigated the roles of bile acids. (30 types of bile acids float around in the gut to help digest food and absorb cholesterol, fats and fat-soluble nutrients.) Among the lab\u2019s discoveries was the revelation that bile acids send hormonal signals to intestinal stem cells through a protein called the Farnesoid X receptor (FXR). For the new study, the researchers uncovered how high-fat diets affect that hormonal signaling.<\/p>\n<p>Study first author Ting Fu, a postdoctoral fellow at Salk, began by following a clue in a mouse model with an APC mutation. These mice develop early signs of colorectal cancer, so she decided to monitor bile acid levels in the mice at the same time. She discovered that types of bile acids known to interact with FXR increased at the same time as cancer initiation\u2014and that the presence of additional bile acids accelerated cancer progression.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe saw a very dramatic increase in cancer growth correlated to bile acid,\u201d says Michael Downes, a senior staff scientist at Salk and co-corresponding author of the study. \u201cOur experiments showed that maintaining a balance of bile acids is key to reducing cancer growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21880\"  class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"458\" height=\"305\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-21880 size-col-md-5\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Evans-Fu-PR-458x305.jpg\" alt=\"From left: Annette Atkins, Tae Gyu Oh, Ting Fu, Ronald Evans, Eiji Yoshihara, Fritz Cayabyab, Michael Downes and Ruth Yu.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Evans-Fu-PR-458x305.jpg 458w, https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Evans-Fu-PR-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Evans-Fu-PR-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Evans-Fu-PR-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Evans-Fu-PR-147x98.jpg 147w, https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Evans-Fu-PR-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Evans-Fu-PR-553x369.jpg 553w, https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Evans-Fu-PR-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Evans-Fu-PR-767x511.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Evans-Fu-PR-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Evans-Fu-PR-1250x833.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Evans-Fu-PR-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">From left: Annette Atkins, Tae Gyu Oh, Ting Fu, Ronald Evans, Eiji Yoshihara, Fritz Cayabyab, Michael Downes and Ruth Yu.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Evans-Fu-PR.jpg\">Klicken Sie hier<\/a> f\u00fcr ein hochaufl\u00f6sendes Bild.<\/p>\n<p>Kredit: Salk Institut<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The researchers showed that feeding these mice a high-fat diet was like adding fuel to a fire: high-fat diets increased levels of two specific bile acids that dampen the activity of FXR. The gut wants to repair itself, and FXR keeps the process slow, steady and safe. When bile acids inhibit FXR, a group of stem cells starts growing rapidly and accumulating DNA damage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe knew that high-fat diets and bile acids were both risk factors for cancer, but we weren\u2019t expecting to find they were both affecting FXR in intestinal stem cells,\u201d says Annette Atkins, a staff researcher at Salk and co-author of the study.<\/p>\n<p>The mice with APC mutations developed benign growths called adenomas. In humans, adenomas are common in the intestine and are routinely removed during colonoscopies. These growths normally take decades to turn into malignant adenocarcinomas. Yet the adenomas in these mice quickly turned cancerous when given high-fat diets.<\/p>\n<p>At last, the researchers had found a possible cellular mechanism to explain the rise in colorectal cancer deaths in younger people. Their theory is that as high-fat diets have become more common in the United States, more people with an APC mutation are accelerating their cancer growth through these diets.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the researchers decided to test a new cancer-fighting weapon. They used a molecule called FexD, developed at Salk, to activate FXR in intestinal stem cells. FexD appeared to counteract the damage done by unbalanced bile acids in both mouse organ models and human colon cancer cell lines.<\/p>\n<p>While more experiments need to be done before FexD is tested in humans, the team says the drug candidate has some promising qualities: it can reach the colon and it only acts on FXR, so it should produce fewer side effects than other drugs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While colon cancer is considered &#8216;incurable,\u2019 Ting&#8217;s work opens up an entirely new frontier in the understanding and treatment of the disease,\u201d says Evans.<\/p>\n<p>Other researchers on the study were Eiji Yoshihara, Tae Gyu Oh, Sungsoon Fang, Fritz Cayabyab, Mathias Leblanc, Sihao Liu, Mingxiao He, Wanda Waizenegger, Emanuel Gasser and Tong Zhang of Salk; Sally Coulter and Christopher Liddle of the University of Sydney; and Qiyun Zhu, Bernd Schnabl and Rob Knight of the University of California, San Diego.<\/p>\n<p>The work and the researchers involved were supported by grants from the National Institute of Environment Health Sciences Superfund Research Program (part of the National Institutes of Health), the National Institutes of Health, the Cancer Center and National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia, the Leona M. and Harry B.
