Abstract:

Glioma is the most common primary tumor of the brain, accounting for 81 % of central nervous system (CNS) malignant tumors. The degree of malignancy is high, and the current treatment methods are limited. In recent years, with the in-depth study of intestinal flora and brain-gut axis, it has been found that the diversity of gut microbiota plays an important role in the regulation of glioma. The mechanism is that the intestinal flora affects the development of glioma through the role of immune regulation and metabolites. In addition, it has been confirmed that there is a certain correlation between some probiotics and glioma, which provides a new application prospect for the treatment of glioma. This paper discusses the main intestinal bacteria that regulate gliomas as well as the role and regulatory mechanisms of intestinal flora in the development of gliomas, and provides ideas for the discovery of new targets for glioma treatment and further improvement of treatment options.

Key words: intestinal flora, glioma, brain-gut axis
