Research progress in effects of intestinal microbiota on leukemia / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

There are a large number of microorganisms in human intestine. It has been reported that intestinal microbiota is correlated with leukemia. The decreased number of intestinal microbiota and dysbacteriosis are present in leukemia patients. The disorder of intestinal microbiota can directly influence the progress of the leukemia, indirectly through immune regulation. Exploration of the relationship between intestinal microbiota and leukemia would provide a key objective for the diagnosis of leukemia intestinal microbiota, and also supply new strategies for improving therapeutic effect and prognosis.
