Keystone pathobionts associated with colorectal cancer promote oncogenic reprograming
by Josh Jones, Qiaojuan Shi, Rahul R. Nath, Ilana L. Brito
Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) and enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) are two pathobionts consistently enriched in the gut microbiomes of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) compared to healthy counterparts and frequently observed for their direct association within tumors. Although several molecular mechanisms have been identified that directly link these organisms to features of CRC in specific cell types, their specific... Читать дальше...
