AI Technical Summary
The lack of specific Fusobacterium strains derived from laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma in existing technologies leads to a mismatch between the microbial research niche and the actual microbial research of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. This makes it impossible to construct accurate Fusobacterium-induced cancer cell and animal models for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, thus limiting research on the mechanisms of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma development and progression.
A novel Fusobacterium strain, Fusobacterium sp.LSCC04, was isolated and identified from laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissue and named Fusobacterium sp.LSCC04 with accession number CCTCC NO:M 2025587. It was amplified by Columbia blood agar plates or thioglycolate liquid culture flasks and co-cultured with laryngeal cancer cell lines to verify its tumor-promoting effect.
Fusobacterium LSCC04, a laryngeal cancer-specific bacterium, was successfully isolated and identified. A reproducible in vitro validation model was established, and its promoting effect on the proliferation and colony formation of laryngeal cancer cells was verified. This provides a scientific and rigorous experimental basis for laryngeal cancer research and fills a gap in the study of laryngeal cancer microecology.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of tumor microbiology, and particularly relates to a new Fusobacterium sp. LSCC04 and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the upper respiratory tract of the human body. Recent studies have shown that the microbiome associated with LSCC is closely related to tumor occurrence, development, metastasis, drug resistance, and the like. Among the numerous microorganisms in the human larynx, the role of Fusobacterium in tumor research has attracted the attention of researchers. Previous studies have shown that the abundance of Fusobacterium in the larynx of patients with LSCC is significantly higher than that in normal people. Fusobacterium promotes the proliferation, migration, invasion, and metastasis of LSCC through various mechanisms.
[0003] According to existing literature reports, Fusobacterium is divided into Fusobacterium nucleatum, animal Fusobacterium, Fusobacterium polymorpha, and periodontal Fusobacterium, and the type strains thereof are isolated and cultured from the oral cavity, intestinal tract, and the like. There is no literature or database report indicating that Fusobacterium is isolated from the throat tissue. The type strains of Fusobacterium nucleatum ATCC 25586 and Fusobacterium polymorpha ATCC 10953 are preserved in microbial preservation centers around the world and are used to construct in vivo and in vitro tumor experimental models to study the mechanism of tumor occurrence and development and to find specific targets for anti-tumor treatment. However, the niche characteristics of Fusobacterium derived from the oral cavity and intestinal tract are significantly different from those of the symbiotic Fusobacterium associated with LSCC. Although it can simulate part of the carcinogenic effect of Fusobacterium, it still has differences with the microenvironment of LSCC microorganisms, and cannot well reflect the carcinogenic effect of LSCC Fusobacterium, which limits the study of the carcinogenic mechanism of LSCC.
[0004] Currently, there is no research report on the isolation of active Fusobacterium specific strains from LSCC, which limits the study of Fusobacterium in the mechanism of LSCC occurrence and development, and cannot construct a precise and effective LSCC Fusobacterium carcinogenic cell and animal model.

[0068] Example Two: In vitro functional verification of the carcinogenic effect of Fusobacterium LSCC04
[0069] CCK8 specific experimental steps: Take freshly prepared TU686 (purchased from the Chinese Academy of Sciences) and AMC-HN-8 (purchased from the Chinese Academy of Sciences) cell suspension, inoculate into 96-well plates (1×10 3 cells / well). After 24 hours of culture until the cells adhere, wash with PBS and replace the anti-culture medium. Take freshly prepared Fusobacterium LSCC04 bacterial suspension, centrifuge and resuspend the bacteria with PBS, and co-culture with TU686 and AMC-HN-8 cells (with a multiplicity of infection MOI of 100, 200, 400, and 800, respectively); use the same volume of PBS as a blank control, each with 7 repeated wells. Culture under normal conditions, and after 4 days, detect the cell proliferation activity by CCK8 method (follow the steps given in the instruction manual). Replace the freshly prepared bacterial suspension every 24 hours. The results are shown in Figure 1 Fusobacterium LSCC04 can significantly promote the proliferation of TU686 and AMC-HN-8 cells, and the proliferation activity at MOI=200 is significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.001).
[0070] Cell clone experiment steps: cells in logarithmic growth phase were trypsinized, resuspended into cell suspension with complete culture medium (basic medium + 10% fetal bovine serum) and counted, 500 cells per well were inoculated in 6-well plates, fresh Fusobacterium LSCC04 bacterial suspension was prepared, centrifuged, resuspended with PBS, and co-cultured with TU686 and AMC-HN-8 cells respectively, MOI was 200, the optimal concentration of CCK8 experiment, and the culture was continued until the cell number in most single clones was greater than 50, the medium was changed every 3 days during the process and the cell state was observed; PBS was washed once, 1 mL of 4% paraformaldehyde was added per well for fixation for 30-60 min, PBS was washed once; crystal violet staining was performed for 15 min, PBS was washed for 3 times; and observation was performed by taking pictures. The results are shown in Figure 2 Fusobacterium LSCC04 can significantly promote the clone formation of laryngeal cancer cells AMC-HN-8 and TU686.
