Cisplatin resistance is the main cause of colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment failure, and the cause has been reported to be
related to Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) infection. In this study, we explored the role of Fn in regulating cisplatin resistance
of CRC cells and its underlying mechanism involved. The mRNA and protein expressions were examined by qRT-PCR
and western blot. Cell proliferation and cell apoptosis were assessed using CCK8 and flow cytometry assays, respectively.
Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was adopted to analyze the molecular interactions. Herein, our results revealed that Fn
abundance and miR-135b expression were markedly elevated in CRC tissues, with a favorable association between the two.
Moreover, Fn infection could increase miR-135b expression via a concentration-dependent manner, and it also enhanced
cell proliferation but reduced apoptosis and cisplatin sensitivity by upregulating miR-135b. Moreover, KLF13 was proved
as a downstream target of miR-135b, of which overexpression greatly diminished the promoting effect of miR-135b or
Fn-mediated cisplatin resistance in CRC cells. In addition, it was observed that upstream 2.5 kb fragment of miR-135b
promoter could be interacted by β-catenin/TCF4 complex, which was proved as an effector signaling of Fn. LF3, a blocker
of β-catenin/TCF4 complex, was confirmed to diminish the promoting role of Fn on miR-135b expression. Thus, it could be
concluded that Fn activated miR-135b expression through TCF4/β-catenin complex, thereby inhibiting KLF13 expression
and promoting cisplatin resistance in CRC.

Strain ATSA2T was isolated from surface-sterilized kimchi
cabbage (Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis) seeds and represents
a novel bacterium based on the polyphasic taxonomic
approach. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene
sequences showed that strain ATSA2T formed a lineage within
genus Saccharibacillus and was most closely to Saccharibacillus
deserti WLG055T (98.1%) and Saccharibacillus qingshengii
H6T (97.9%). The whole-genome of ATSA2T comprised
a 5,619,468 bp of circular chromosome with 58.4% G + C
content. The DNA-DNA relatedness values between strain
ATSA2T and its closely related type strains S. deserti WLJ055T
and S. qingshengii H6T were 26.0% and 24.0%, respectively.
Multiple gene clusters associated with plant growth promotion
activities (stress response, nitrogen and phosphorus metabolism,
and auxin biosynthesis) were annotated in the
genome. Strain ATSA2T was Gram-positive, endospore-forming,
facultatively anaerobic, and rod-shaped. It grew at
15–37°C (optimum 25°C), pH 6.0–10.0 (optimum pH 8.0),
and in the presence of 0–5% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 1%). The
major cellular fatty acids (> 10%) of strain ATSA2T were anteiso-
C15:0 and C16:0. MK-7 was the major isoprenoid quinone.
The major polar lipids present were diphosphatidylglycerol,
phosphatidylglycerol, and three unknown glycolipids. Based
on its phylogenetic, genomic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic
features, strain ATSA2T is proposed to represent a
novel species of genus Saccharibacillus, for which the name is
Saccharibacillus brassicae sp. nov. The type strain is ATSA2T
(KCTC 43072T = CCTCC AB 2019223T).
