Monoacylglycerol acyltransferase-2 inhibits colorectal carcinogenesis in APC^min+/- mice.

ABSTRACT: Monoacylglycerol acyltransferase-2 (MOGAT2), encodes MOGAT enzyme in the re-synthesis of triacylglycerol and protects from metabolism disorders. While, its precise involvement in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression remains inadequately understood. Our study demonstrated that knockout of Mogat2 in Apc^min/+ mice expedited intestinal tumor growth and progression, indicating that Mogat2 plays a tumor-suppressing role in CRC. Mechanically, Mogat2 deletion resulted in a significant alter the gut microbiota, while Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) experiments demonstrated that the gut microbiota in Mogat2 deleted mice promoted tumor growth. Furthermore, we identified Mogat2 as a functional regulator suppressing CRC cell proliferation and tumor growth by inhibiting the NF-κB signal
