Project description:To elucidate whether Fusobacterium Nucleatum(Fn) plays a role in colorectal cancer tumorigenesis, a RNA-seq analysis was performed to compare the gene expression profiles of Fn treated HCT116 colorectal cancer cell lines.
Project description:Previous reports have indicated that RNA m6A modification plays an important role in colorectal carcinogenesis. We hypothesized that F. nucleatum promoted colorectal carcinogenesis dependent on RNA m6A alterations. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a RNA-seq analysis in HT29 cells cocultured with F. nucleatum and medium control.
Project description:Fusobacterium nucleatum-treated LoVo cells reported an increased promoting CRC metastasis effect compared with PBS control. To understand the underlying mechanisms of Fusobacterium nucleatum-induced metastasis ability of CRC cells, we performed RNA-sequencing in LoVo cells s with or without Fusobacterium nucleatum treatment with three independent biological replicates.
Project description:To investigate the role of Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) in the development of gastric cancer, we extracted exosomes from the culture supernatant of MKN-28 cells treated with Fn or PBS, co-cultured them with AGS cells, and analyzed their RNA-seq data for gene expression profiling.

Project description:To investigate the role of Fusobacterium nucleatum-mediated m6A modification, we performed m6A-sequencing to map the m6A modification in control or Fusobacterium nucleatum-treated HCT116 cells.
Project description:Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) infection has been linked to the initiation and development of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the underlying mechanisms remains unexplored. Tissues from Fn-infected mice were first collected for single-cell RNA sequencing. we investigated the correlation between Fn infection and accumulations of tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) in tissues from human CRC or AOM/DSS treated mice. The impact of Fn on biological function of TAMs were interrogated. We deciphered the mechanisms for interaction between Fn and TAMs in CRC. We explored the impact of Fn infection on immune-checkpoint blockade (ICB) treatment in a multicohort study.The analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing revealed an enrichment of TAMs in Fn positive tissues. A significant correlation between Fn DNA level and TAMs was observed. Functionally, Fn could recruit TAMs in CRC tissues and promote their biological functions by enhancing PD-L1 expression and thus suppressing CD8+ T cells. Mechanistically, Fn infection led to increased secreted IL-6 via TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathways, and the activated IL-6/STAT3 pathway enhanced PD-L1 expression in TAMs. By using several mice models, we found IL-6 inhibition, loss of MyD88 or anti-PD-L1 treatment could significantly inhibit tumorigenesis. Clinically, Fn positive patients tended to be more sensitive to ICB treatment, with a better prognosis than Fn-negative patients.

Project description:Neutrophils are known to be stimulated by different periodontal bacteria to produce reactive oxygen species and cytokines. It is inportant to investigate the gene changes made by bacteria of importance, of which, for periodontal disease, fusobaterium nucleatum is one. we used microarrays to investigate gene experssion changes in peripheral blood neutrophils werwhich e stimulated with or with out Fusobacterium Nucleatum (10953). Neutrophils from periodonatlly healthy individuals (n=4) were isolated and stimulated for 3hrs with or without fusobaterium nucleatum (10953). RNA was then extracted from these and pooled before hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays
Project description:Fusobacterium nucleatum-treated HCT116 cells reported an increased adhesion to endothelial cells compared with PBS control. To understand the underlying mechanisms of Fusobacterium nucleatum-induced intercellular adhesion ability of CRC cells, we performed RNA-sequencing in HCT116 cells with or without Fusobacterium nucleatum treatment with three independent biological replicates.
