以色列科学家证实,牙周炎破坏抗癌防线。这项研究成果显示,具核梭杆菌微生物可能会和结肠癌细胞一道阻碍免疫细胞受体TIGIT的功能。TIGIT是人体克制癌症蔓延的自然防御机制。事实上,具核梭杆菌与人体内的一系列破坏活动有关。这种细菌是引起牙龈疾病和牙周炎的主要原因,同时它也与心脏病、艾滋病等疾病有关。这项新研究首次以确凿的证据,将具核梭杆菌活动与癌症患者病情恶化联系在一起。研究结果有助于研究者开发出新的抗击癌症的方式。如果具核梭杆菌和TIGIT受体的互动使得受体无法正常抗 Israeli scientists confirm that periodontitis destroys the cancer line of defense. The results of this study show that Fusobacterium nucleatum, together with colon cancer cells, may block the function of immune cell receptor TIGIT. TIGIT is the body’s natural defense against the spread of cancer. In fact, Fusobacterium nucleatum is associated with a series of sabotage activities in the human body. This bacteria is the main cause of gum disease and periodontitis, but also with heart disease, AIDS and other diseases. This new study, for the first time, conclusively evidences that Fusobacterium nucleatum activity is associated with worsening cancer in patients. The findings help researchers develop new ways to fight cancer. If Fusobacterium nucleatum and TIGIT receptor interaction makes the receptor can not be normal resistance
