Targeting Programmed Fusobacterium nucleatum Fap2 for Colorectal Cancer Therapy

open access: yesCancers, 2019
Colorectal patients generally have the maximum counts of Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) in tumors and elevate colorectal adenomas and carcinomas, which show the lowest rate of human survival. Hence, F.

Fusobacterium nucleatum – Friend or foe?

Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 2021
Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) is one of the most abundant Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria, part of the gut, and oral commensal flora, generally found in human dental plaque. Its presence could be associated with various human diseases, including, e.g., periodontal, angina, lung and gynecological abscesses.

Fusobacterium nucleatum

European Journal of Cancer Prevention, 2015
The human intestinal microbiota is a plethora of diverse microbial species, wherein certain bacteria considered as driver bacteria with procarcinogenic features contribute directly toward colonic epithelium cell damage to initiate colorectal carcinogenesis.

Genetic Transformation of Fusobacterium nucleatum

2020
Fusobacterium nucleatum is a human periodontal pathogen that causes opportunistic infections. It has been implicated in preterm birth and has as a pathogen of colorectal cancer. However, it is a common member of the oral microbiota and can have a symbiotic relationship with its hosts. To date, studies of F.

Biosynthesis of meso-lanthionine in Fusobacterium nucleatum

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2023
The opportunistic oral pathogen, Fusobacterium nucleatum contains meso-lanthionine as the diaminodicarboxylic acid in the pentapeptide crosslink of the peptidoglycan layer. The diastereomer, l,l-lanthionine is formed by lanthionine synthase, a PLP-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the β-replacement of l-cysteine with a second equivalent of l-cysteine. In

Amino acid fermentation by Fusobacterium nucleatum

Archives of Oral Biology, 1968
Abstract Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fusobacterium fusiforme) is a weakly saccharolytic gram negative anaerobic rod which is indigenous to the oral cavity of man. This organism fermented aspartate, cysteine, glutamate, glutamine, histidine, lysine, methionine, serine and threonine forming butyrate and acetate as the main acid end products.

Fusobacterium nucleatum

JAAPA, 2016
ABSTRACT This article describes an uncommon presentation of a subdural empyema in a young man. Because the patient's initial presentation consisted of nonspecific abdominal complaints, subdural empyema was not initially considered. However, a thorough medical history, including recent travel history, and appropriate multidisciplinary ...

Fusobacterium nucleatum and colorectal cancer: A mechanistic overview

open access: yesJournal of Cellular Physiology, 2019
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer in the world. There are many risk factors involved in CRC. According to recent findings, the tumor microenvironment and feces samples of patients with CRC are enriched by Fusobacterium nucleatum.

Neutrophil chemiluminescence in response to Fusobacterium nucleatum

Journal of Periodontal Research, 1982
During the interaction of bacteria or other particles with neutrophils, oxygen consumption is increased, and unstable reduction products are produced. Chemiluminescence is the light energy produced in the neutrophil by the generation of unstable oxygen radicals. These oxygen radicals are thought to be important in the destruction of bacteria as well as

Desulfuration of Cysteine and Methionine by Fusobacterium nucleatum

Journal of Dental Research, 1986
Fusobacterium nucleatum is a Gram-negative anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium frequently isolated from human dental plaque. It is capable of the desulfuration of cysteine and methionine, resulting in the formation of sulfide and thiol volatiles, respectively. Intact cells, as well as cell-free extracts produced by French pressure cell lysis of F. nucleatum,
