A bacterial toxin as a novel anti-cancer drug modulating the tumor-microenvironment
MakA, a cytotoxin derived from Vibrio cholerae, has been shown to effectively inhibit colorectal cancer growth by modulating the tumor microenvironment and enhancing immune responses. The study reveals that systemic administration of MakA is well-tolerated and promotes immune cell infiltration, particularly monocytes and neutrophils, into the tumor site. These findings suggest that MakA could serve as a promising therapeutic candidate for colorectal cancer, offering a targeted approach with minimal side effects.
