Relationship between Fusobacterium nucleatum, inflammatory mediators and microRNAs in colorectal carcinogenesis

Figure 1 Relative quantification of the Fusobacterium nucleatum NusG gene in adenoma and colorectal cancer samples compared to adjacent normal tissues and colorectal cancer compared to adenoma tissue. Statistically significant differences, according to the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, were as follows: colorectal adenoma: ^aP = 0.0002, colorectal cancer: ^bP = 0.0002, colorectal cancer/adenoma: ^cP < 0.0001. Median with interquartile range graph. CRA: Colorectal adenoma; CRC: Colorectal cancer; CRC/AD: Colorectal cancer/adenoma; RQ: Relative quantification; F. nucleatum: Fusobacterium nucleatum.
