Figure 3 Dietary copper-gut microbiota-tumor axis in gastrointestinal cancer. Dietary copper, gut microbiota, and microbial metabolites may influence copper availability, epithelial barrier integrity, inflammatory toxicity, and tumor-related metabolic states in gastrointestinal cancer. Dysbiosis may disrupt intestinal barrier function and alter copper handling, whereas protective metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids may help preserve barrier integrity and limit systemic copper toxicity. SCFA: Short-chain fatty acid.
