The Dysregulation of Polyamine Metabolism in Colorectal Cancer Is Associated with Overexpression of c-Myc and C/EBP<i>β</i> rather than Enterotoxigenic<i> Bacteroides fragilis</i> Infection

<div>(a) Enterotoxigenic<i> B. fragilis</i> (ETBF) DNA copy number per 50 ng of total extracted DNA in paired samples of colorectal cancer (logarithmic scale). (b)<i> SMOX</i> expression level relatively to two reference genes:<i> RPN1</i> and<i> GUSB</i>. The samples with high rates of ETBF colonization tend to have higher expression of SMOX, especially in normal tissue (compared to the other norms). However, no statistically significant correlation between<i> SMOX</i> expression and ETBF colonization was observed.</div>
