Fig. 3From: Target identification in Fusobacterium nucleatum by subtractive genomics approach and enrichment analysis of host-pathogen protein-protein interactionsThe plausible mechanisms in CRC progression due to F. nucleatum infection may involve increased expression of proinflammatory genes, ROS, oncogenes, DNA damaging genes and β-catenin signaling which may contribute to accumulation of mutations that promote tumor induction, proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transitionBack to article page
