Inflammation mobilizes copper metabolism to promote colon tumorigenesis via an IL-17-STEAP4-XIAP axis

STEAP4 promotes the uptake of copper, and copper is known to be enhanced in cancer tissues. Here, the authors show that STEAP4 is induced by IL17, which is increased in inflamed tissues, consequently the increased copper levels activate NFκB signalling and suppression of apoptosis.
