Aaltonen  3,8 & Riccardo Fodde  1   \nAccording to conventional views, colon cancer originates from stem cells. However, inflammation, a key risk factor for colon cancer, has been shown to suppress intestinal stemness. Here, we used Paneth cells asa model to assess the capacity of differentiated lineages to trigger tumorigenesis in the context of inflammation in mice. Upon inflammation, Paneth cell-specific Apc mutations led to intestinal tumors reminiscent not only of those arising inpatients with inflammatory bowel disease, but also of a larger fraction of human sporadic colon cancers. The latter is possibly because of the inflammatory consequences of western-style dietary habits, a major colon cancer risk factor. Machine learning methods designed to predict the cell-of-origin of cancer from patient-derived tumor samples confirmed that, ina substantial fraction of sporadic cases, the origins of colon cancer reside in secretory lineagesand not in stem cells.  \nThe origin of the vast majority of cancers is thought to reside in stem-like or progenitor-like cells, which satisfy the need for active proliferation, self-renewal and differentiation capacity1–3. This was demonstrated in the mouse intestine where loss-of-function mutationsintheApc tumor suppressor gene successfully initiate adenoma formation only when they occur in Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells (ISCs). When the same Apc mutation is introduced in more-committed and shorter-lived transit-amplifying cells, tumor formation is halted at early microadenoma stages2. However, in addition to this ‘bottom-up’scenario,‘top-down’models of intestinal tumorigenesis have been proposed in which more-committed intestinal cells located at higher positions along the crypt–villus axis are likely to initiate cancer, especially  \nin the context of tissue injury and inflammation4,5. In the specific case of human colon cancer, western-style dietary habits and chronic inflammation, two of the major etiologic factors associated with increased risk for sporadic malignant disease in the digestive tract, are thought to induce specific cellular and molecular alterations in the intestinal epithelium that ultimately lead to the expansion of cell targets for tumor initiation and progression4,6. However, which specific cell lineages are capable of dedifferentiating upon tissue injury and which are the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear.  \nPaneth cells (PCs) are specialized secretory cells located atthe very bottom of the crypt of Lieberkühn inthe small intestine where they secrete antimicrobial peptides into the lumen7.
