Abstract
The gut microbiome can play a crucial role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression through the enterohepatic circulation, primarily acting via metabolic reprogramming and alterations in the hepatic immune microenvironment triggered by microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), metabolites, and fungi. In addition, the gut microbiome shows potential as a biomarker for early HCC diagnosis and for assessing the efficacy of immunotherapy in unresectable HCC. This review examines how gut microbiota dysbiosis, with varied functional profiles, contributes to HCCs of different etiologies. We discuss therapeutic strategies to modulate the gut microbiome including diets, antibiotics, probiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation, and nano-delivery systems, and underscore their potential as an adjunctive treatment modality for HCC.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism (TEM) stands as a premier Reviews journal in the realms of metabolism and endocrinology. Our commitment is reflected in the publication of refined, concise, and highly impactful articles that delve into cutting-edge topics, encompassing basic, translational, and clinical aspects. From state-of-the-art treatments for endocrine diseases to groundbreaking developments in molecular biology, TEM provides comprehensive coverage.
Explore recent advancements in diabetes, endocrine diseases, obesity, neuroendocrinology, immunometabolism, molecular and cellular biology, and a myriad of other areas through our journal.
TEM serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, lecturers, teachers, and students. Each monthly issue is anchored by Reviews and Opinion articles, with Reviews meticulously chronicling recent and significant developments, often contributed by leading researchers in specific fields. Opinion articles foster debate and hypotheses. Our shorter pieces include Science & Society, shedding light on issues at the intersection of science, society, and policy; Spotlights, which focus on exciting recent developments in the literature, and single-point hypotheses as Forum articles. We wholeheartedly welcome and encourage responses to previously published TEM content in the form of Letters.
