Le microbiote intestinal assure de nombreuses fonctions physiologiques au sein du corps humain afin d’entretenir la relation symbiotique qui les unit. Récemment, de nouvelles propriétés lui ont été attribuées. Certains commensaux sont en effet nécessaires à la mise en place d’une réponse anti-tumorale efficace et participent aux mécanismes d’action de certaines thérapies anti-cancéreuses, telles que les chimiothérapies et les immunothérapies.
Abstract
The gut microbiota is involved in a lot of crucial physiological functions and maintains a symbiotic relationship with the host. Lately, in light of new evidences, an unexpected role of commensals has been depicted. Several studies addressing the role of gut microbiota in the immunomodulatory properties of anti-cancer regimens, such as immunotherapy and chemotherapy, reveal that commensals are required to mount complete and efficient antitumor immune responses. Therefore, exploration of microbiota-derived compounds in the future could represent a therapeutic option in the armamentarium of cancer treatments.
