Abstract :

Colorectal cancer is linked to inflammation and phospholipase C 1 (PLC �?³1) is associated with tumorigenesis and the development of colorectal cancer; however, evidence of mechanisms connecting them remains unclear. Here we found that PLC �?³1 regulated colitis and tumorigenesis in intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). In a colitis-associated cancer model, we showed that the deletion of PLC �?³1 in IEC decreased the incidence of tumors by enhancing apoptosis and inhibiting proliferation during tumor development. Accordingly, the deletion of PLC �?³1 in IEC reduced colitis-induced epithelial inflammation via inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators. The PLC �?³1 pathway in IEC accelerated colitis-induced epithelial damage via regulation of tight junction (TJ) proteins. Our findings suggest that PLC �?³1 is a critical regulator of colitis and colorectal cancer and could further help in the development of therapy for colitis-associated cancer.
