Abstract
We found infection of CRC cells with F nucleatum to increase their proliferation, invasive activity, and ability to form xenograft tumors in mice. Fusobacterium nucleatum activates Toll-like receptor 4 signaling to MYD88, leading to activation of the nuclear factorâκB and increased expression of miR21; this miRNA reduces levels of the RAS GTPase RASA1. Patients with both high amount of tissue F nucleatum DNA and miR21 demonstrated a higher risk for poor outcomes.
