Interplay between WNT/PI3K-mTOR axis and the microbiota in APC-driven colorectal carcinogenesis: data from a pilot study and possible implications for CRC prevention

Abstract Background Wnt/β-catenin signalling impairment accounts for 85% of colorectal cancers (CRCs), including sporadic and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) settings. An altered PI3K/mTOR pathway and gut microbiota also contribute to CRC carcinogenesis. We studied the interplay between the two...
