IntroductionThe prebiotic inulin has previously shown both protective and tumor-promoting effects in colorectal cancer (CRC). These inconsistencies may be due to the gut microbial composition as several bacteria have been associated with CRC. Specifically, polyketide synthase-positive (pks+) Escherichia coli promotes carcinogenesis and facilitates CRC progression through the production of colibactin, a genotoxin that induces double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs). We investigated whether colibactin-producing Escherichia coli changed the protection conferred by inulin against tumor growth and progression using the ApcMin/+ mouse model of CRC.MethodsMice received a 2% dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) solution followed by oral gavage with the murine pks + E. coli strain NC101 (EcNC101) and were fed a diet supplemented with 10% cellulose as control or 10% inulin for 4 weeks.ResultsInulin supplementation led to increase EcNC101 colonization compared to mice receiving the control diet. The increased colonization of EcNC101 resulted in more DSBs, tumor burden, and tumor progression in ApcMin/+ mice. The tumorigenic effect of EcN101 in ApcMin/+ mice mediated by inulin was dependent on colibactin production. Pasteurized E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN), a probiotic, suppressed the inulin-driven EcNC101 expansion and impacted tumor progression.DiscussionOur results suggest that the presence of pks + E. coli influences the outcome of inulin supplementation in CRC and that microbiota-targeted interventions may mitigate this effect. Given the prevalence of pks + E. coli in both healthy and CRC populations and the importance of a fiber-rich diet, inulin supplementation in individuals colonized with pks + bacteria should be considered with caution. |
