Outline
[Objective] To investigate whether Fusobacterium nucleatum promotes the development of lung cancer and find out the underlying mechanisms. [Methods] The cell experiment proved that F. nucleatum can promote the proliferation and metastasis of lung cancer cells; Animal experiments showed that F. nucleatum can promote the development of lung cancer; 16S rRNA gene sequencing of alveolar lavage fluid and transcriptome sequencing of lung tissue were performed to analyze the effects of F. nucleatum on the lung flora of mice with lung cancer and the activation of relevant pathways in lung tissue. [Results] The cell experiment showed that F. nucleatum significantly promoted the proliferation and metastasis of A549 cells. The animal experiments confirmed that F. nucleatum infection in the lungs increased the number of nodules and enhanced the fluorescence intensity in the lung tissue. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed the enrichment of Muribaculum and Simplicispira in the lung of infected mice. The transcriptome sequencing results showed that the mouse model of lung cancer activated the interleukin-17 signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions, Staphylococcus aureus infection pathway, tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway, and other signaling pathways related to inflammation or immunity after being infected with F. nucleatum. [Conclusion] F. nucleatum infection in mice with lung cancer disrupts the microbiota and activates the immunity- and inflammation-related signaling pathways in the lung, thereby promoting the metastasis of lung cancer in mice.
