Fusobacterium nucleatum, a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, has emerged as significant player in colorectal cancer (CRC) pathogenesis. The bacterium causes persistent inflammatory reaction the mucosa by stimulating release of pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, creating an environment conducive to progression. F. nucleatum binds penetrates epithelial cells through adhesins such FadA, impairing cell junctions encouraging epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is associated with advancement. Additionally, modulates host immune system, suppressing activity conditions favorable for tumor growth. Its interactions gut microbiome contribute dysbiosis, further influencing carcinogenic pathways. Evidence indicates that can inflict DNA damage either directly via reactive oxygen species or indirectly environment. it triggers oncogenic pathways, especially Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, promotes growth longevity. Moreover, alters microenvironment, impacting behavior, metastasis, therapeutic responses. purpose this review elucidate molecular mechanisms contributes CRC.

The gut microbiome plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), influencing oncogenesis, immune responses, and treatment outcomes. Studies have identified microbial species like Porphyromonas gingivalis Fusobacterium nucleatum, that promote PDAC progression through various mechanisms. Additionally, affects cell activation response to immunotherapy, including checkpoint inhibitors CAR-T therapy. Specific microbes their metabolites play effectiveness (ICIs). Alterations can either enhance or diminish responses PD-1/PD-L1 CTLA-4 blockade bacterial trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) impact antitumor immunity, offering potential targets augment immunotherapy responses. Modulating fecal microbiota transplantation, probiotics, prebiotics, dietary changes, antibiotics shows promise treatment, although outcomes are highly variable. Dietary modifications, particularly high-fiber diets specific fat consumption, influence composition cancer risk. Combining microbiome-based therapies with existing treatments holds for improving therapy outcomes, but further research is needed optimize effectiveness.
