This strategy elicits cycles of mucosal damage, followed by tissue repair.53 During the early response to DSS, the colon undergoes a massive wave of apoptosis, resulting in impaired epithelial barrier function that enables commensal microbes to activate resident macrophages to release inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα), BGJ398 and IL-6. Accordingly, the CAC model is exquisitely sensitive to genetic and pharmacological interventions that affect and/or modulate the innate immune response. The emerging picture suggests that the immune cells that infiltrate the wounded epithelium and provide the signals that collectively promote an orchestrated wound
healing response is subverted in the few cells where prior exposure to mutagens has induced oncogenic DNA damage. Thus, the overexpression of heparanase, which is a frequent observation in CRC and is believed to facilitate
the release of sequestered heparin-binding growth factors, promotes chronic inflammation and cell growth to exacerbate CAC-associated tumorigenesis in a TNFα-dependent manner.54 Recent evidence indicates that some players in the host pathogen response, such as MyD88 and components of the inflammasome, might act in two ways to promote an inflammatory response, as well as being central in ensuring a homeostatic outcome for the continuous physiological renewal of the intestinal mucosa.26,55 This raises a potentially complex therapeutic Erlotinib challenge, whereby the same (sets of) factors and pathways
Ulixertinib might be engaged during homeostatic renewal, and in pathogenesis of colitis, as well as functionally connecting the microenvironment to neoplastic cell growth. Similarly, infiltrating adaptive immune cells might play a dual role in conferring an antitumor immune response, as well as regulating the epithelial response during mucosal inflammation.56 It has been argued that the DSS-based CAC model might not accurately mimic the Th2-biased immune cell response characteristic of ulcerative colitis. It will therefore be interesting to explore the extent by which the above findings are also applicable to a model where AOM is combined with the haptene oxazolone to trigger a NKT-cell dependent IL-13 response.57 Indeed, the predominant T-cell subtype associated with the inflammatory response might affect aberrant β-catenin activation in colonic adenomas of AOM-challenged mice in the Th1-mediated 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid colitis model.58 AOM challenge has become the preferred experimental strategy in mice to mimic aberrantly-activated WNT signaling in sporadic human CRC; AOM biases disease in the SI, observed in Apc mutant mice, to the colon. Combining the two approaches has provided insights into its molecular etiology.
