The intersection of regeneration and cancer has long been hypothesized to be due to the well-established inverse relationship between the capacity to heal and the propensity for cancer.The MRL mouse, a mammalian model of regeneration, provides an opportunity to experimentally explore this hypothesis. We present data relating to metabolism, inflammation, genetics, and diet, which not only support the hypothesis but also provide mechanistic insight linking these pro-carcinogenic traits.In particular, this mouse has many elements of the tumor microenvironment such as a pro-inflammatory response, enhanced regenerative healing under a high-fat diet (HFD), an environment supportive of tumor growth, the use of a basal metabolism with aerobic glycolysis reminiscent of the Warburg effect, and although it is permissive for tumor transplantation, it is resistant to cancer induction. Genetic studies on the role of pro-inflammatory HFDs and regenerative capacity provide links to dissecting these relationships.
