Outline of Final Research Achievements

Accumulating evidence links the intestinal microbiota and colorectal carcinogenesis. Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) has been shown to potentiate colorectal tumor growth and inhibit antitumor immune responses. Emerging evidence demonstrates an enrichment of Fusobacterium species in colorectal cancer live metastasis (CRLM).
F. nucleatum was detected in 8 (4.4%) of 181 CRLM cases. Compared with F. nucleatum-negative cases, F. nucleatum-positive cases were significantly associated with low density of CD8+ T-cells (P =0.033), and higher density of myeloid-derived suppressor cell (P = 0.015) and tumor-associated macrophage (P = 0.027) in CRLM. Our data may have implications for preventing the formation of liver metastases from colorectal cancer through targeting intestinal microflora.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本邦における大腸癌の罹患率、死亡率は2000年以降横ばいであるが依然として高く、癌種別死亡数は男性第3位、女性第1位である。大腸癌に関連した死亡の主な原因は遠隔転移であり、大腸癌の遠隔転移および再発形式として最も頻度が高い臓器が肝臓である。
本研究でFusobacterium nucleatumなどの腸内細菌が大腸癌肝転移巣における抗腫瘍免疫応答の抑制に関与している可能性があり、今後Fusobacterium nucleatumや腸内細菌を標的とした新しい大腸癌肝転移の予防および治療法の確立につながる可能性がある。
