Project description:Localization of Fusobacterium nucleatum in the placenta may be associated with pregnancy complications including preeclampsia (PE), but its specific pathobiology is unknown. Our aim was to analyze the effect of Fusobacterium nucleatum on HUVEC cells to further elucidate placental dysfunction in the context of Fusobacterium nucleatum infestation.
Project description:MicroRNAs play important roles in the tumorigenesis and metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Recently, some studies have reported Fusobacterium nucleatum could influence microRNAs expression. This study aims to use a microRNA sequencing to analyze the microRNA expression profiles in Fusobacterium nucleatum-infected CRC cells.
