Tumor heterogeneity driven by sharing genetic and signaling code between microbiota and breast

carcinoma

Nilesh Kumar Sharma

T

here are emerging views to substantiate the inumerable

population of microbioata making their choice of

residence within human body parts including intestine

and mammay glad tissue. In a focussed way, possibly the

presence of microbes in mammar gland could be explained

by the entry of microbes from the skin. There are possibility

of presence of proteobacteria including taxa such as

Bacillus, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus and

Propionibacterium. It is true that presence of these microbes

can impact the normal and tumor mammay glad tissue. In

other way, the role of these microbes may be extended

to possibility that descernible presence of intra-tumoral

heterogeneity in breast tumor could be driven one of

potential routes through microbes and cellular communities

including cancer cell, immune cells and stromal cells. In view

of plethora of microbiot and tumor cellular components

interactions, first elucidation may come from the study of

molecular signaling crosstalk between microbes and tumor

cell. Possibly, molecular signaling crosstalk needs to be

focussed at the level of metabolites secretion and sharing

between microbes and tumor cells. Therefore, metabolome

of tumor tissue needs to be highlighted with reference

to microbes and tumor tissue niches. Another possible

communication between microbes and tumor cell could be

possible through the transfer of genetic materials between

in the form of extra-chromosomal circular DNA like plasmid

and small non-coding RNAs. In this era of science, theer are

evidence of natural transfer of extra-chromosomal circular

DNA and small RNAs may be possible through natural

genetic mateiral exchange process among prokaryotes and

eukaryotes. Hence, one potential question emerges that

whether transfer of microbe origin plasmid with a potential

of drug resistance gene can be transfered to cancer cells

within the tumor niches. These plasmid genetic materials

with drug resistance may be able to confer the reinforcing

capability to the heterogeneous nature of tumor cellular

communities for better growth, suvival and drug resistance.

Currently, we are investigating the contribution of microbiota

mediated plasmid transfer to push tumor heterogeneity.

To achieve this goal, we use next generation sequencing,

metabolomic profiling and molecular techniques. Therefore,

this paper highlight the need for scienetific attempt to

address the interplay of microbes and tumor heterogeneity.

Also precisely unravell the contribution of transfer of drug

resistance plasmid frommicrobes to tumor cell by generating

drug resistant and robust heterogeneous population with

their niches.
