Research Abstract

Commensal microbiota affects on the maintenance of systemic homeostasis by the interaction with innate immune cells. Growth arrest specific gene 6 (Gas6) regulates innate immune responses through Stat1/3 signaling. Genetic deletion of Gas6 ameliorated inflammation and tumor formation in the mouse intestines caused by AOM/DSS treatment or insertion of Apc gene mutation. Gas6 knockout mice with intestinal tumors showed significantly shorter survival compared to wild type littermates. As well, colorectal cancer patients with lower Gas6 expression showed shorter survival. These data suggested the importance of innate immunity in the treatment of colorectal cancer.
