In contrast, SLC16A7, a gene encoding a membrane transport solute carrier (family 16 member 7) and commonly reduced in various types of cancer, was negatively associated with F. nucleatum (rho = −0.32, p = 0.066) and significantly suppressed in situ (log2FC = −1.71, q = 3.06E−05) and in vitro (HGK12: log2FC = −1.06, q = 1.99E−16; SAS: log2FC = −0.40, p = 0.008). Here, SLC16A7 is linked to cancer.
