Fusobacterium nucleatum promotes colorectal cancer cells adhesion to endothelial cells and facilitates extravasation and metastasis by inducing ALPK1/NF-?B/ICAM1 axis

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. Overall design: Examination of gene expression variation in HCT116 cells treated with or without Fusobacterium nucleatum (MOI of 100:1)
