Project description:To elucidate whether Faecalibacterium prausnitzii has effects on intestinal toxicity induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors, we performed RNA-seq analysis of colon tissues of mice receiving DSS, DSS+ICB and DSS+ICB+F. prausnitzii gavage to compare the gene expression profiles.
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.
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-mediated m6A modification, we performed m6A-sequencing to map the m6A modification in control or Fusobacterium nucleatum-treated HCT116 cells.
Project description:Fusobacterium nucleatum can bind to host cells and potentiate intestinal tumorigenesis. Here, we used a genome-wide screen to identify an adhesin, RadD, which facilitates the attachment of F. nucleatum to CRC cells in vitro. RadD directly binds to CD147, a receptor overexpressed on CRC cell surfaces, which initiated a PI3K-AKT-NF-kB-MMP9 cascade, subsequently enhanceing tumorigenesis in mice. Clinical specimen analysis showed that elevated radD levels in CRC tissues correlated positively with activated oncogenic signaling and poor patient outcomes. Finally, blockade of the interaction between RadD and CD147 in mice effectively impaired F. nucleatum attachment and attenuated F. nucleatum-induced oncogenic response. Together, our study provides insights into an oncogenic mechanism driven by F. nucleatum RadD and suggests taht the RadD-CD147 interaction could be a potential therapeutic target for CRC.

Project description:Intestinal microbiome of APC min/+ mice treated with black soybean seed coat extract
Project description:The human intestinal microbiota plays an essential role in host health. Modifications in its composition and diversity could induce pathologies such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). These diseases are characterized by an unbalanced intestinal microbiota (a process known as dysbiosis) and an altered immune response. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, the most abundant commensal bacterium in the human intestinal microbiota of healthy individuals (representing more than 5% of the total bacterial population), has been reported to be lower in feces and mucosa-associated microbiota of IBD patients. In addition, we have shown that both F. prausnitzii and its culture supernatant (SN) have anti-inflammatory and protective effects in both acute and chronic colitis models. However, the host molecular mechanisms involved in these anti-inflammatory effects remain unknown. In order to address this issue, we performed DNA chip-based transcriptomic analyses in HT-29 human intestinal epithelial cells stimulated with TNF-a and exposed to F. prausnitzii SN or to BHI (growth medium for F prausnitzii).
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Caco-2 cells co-cultured with Faecalibacterium prausnitzii DSM17677, Lactobacilus rhamnosus HN001, UV-killed F. prausnitzii, or no bacteria in an apical anaerobic environment for four hours.

Biological replicates: 6 per treatment group.
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.
