Several aspects common to a Western lifestyle, including obesity and decreased physical activity, are known risks for gastrointestinal cancers. There is an increasing amount of evidence suggesting that diet profoundly affects the composition of the intestinal microbiota. Moreover, there is now unequivocal evidence linking a dysbiotic gut to cancer development. Yet, the mechanisms through which high-fat diet (HFD)-mediated changes in the microbial community impact the severity of tumorigenesis in the gut, remain to be determined.
High-fat-diet-mediated dysbiosis promotes intestinal carcinogenesis independently of obesity.

View SamplesGoal of this study was to compare transcriptional changes in IFN-gamma-treated WT compared to IRF1-deficient Th9 cells Overall design: mRNA profiles of Th9 cells cultured for 2 days in the presence of IFN-gamma in vitro were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq2000
Reciprocal regulation of the Il9 locus by counteracting activities of transcription factors IRF1 and IRF4.
