Promising dawn in tumor microenvironment therapy:engineering oral bacteriaOACSTPCD
Despite decades of research,cancer continues to be a major global health concern.The human mouth appears to be a multiplicity of local environments communicating with other organs and causing diseases via microbes.Nowadays,the role of oral microbes in the development and progression of cancer has received increasing scrutiny.At the same time,bioengineering technology and nanotechnology is growing rapidly,in which the physiological activities of natural bacteria are modified to improve the therapeutic efficiency of cancers.These engineered bacteria were transformed to achieve directed genetic reprogramming,selective functional reorganization and precise control.In contrast to endotoxins produced by typical genetically modified bacteria,oral flora exhibits favorable biosafety characteristics.To outline the current cognitions upon oral microbes,engineered microbes and human cancers,related literatures were searched and reviewed based on the PubMed database.We focused on a number of oral microbes and related mechanisms associated with the tumor microenvironment,which involve in cancer occurrence and development.Whether engineering oral bacteria can be a possible application of cancer therapy is worth consideration.A deeper understanding of the relationship between engineered oral bacteria and cancer therapy may enhance our knowledge of tumor pathogenesis thus providing new insights and strategies for cancer prevention and treatment.
