Figure 1

Expression of Bacteroides, LPS, and inflammatory factors in normal population and patients with esophageal cancer. (A) Evolutionary branching diagram showing species differentially enriched in the gut microbiota. Red indicates greater expression in ESCC than in controls, green denotes greater expression in controls than in ESCC, and yellow denotes no significant differences. (B) Comparison of the abundance of Bacteroides, n = 30. (C) Serum LPS levels, n = 30. (D) Correlation between Bacteroides and LPS levels with Spearman correlation. (E) Serum inflammatory cytokine levels, including IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, and TGF-β, n = 30. * vs. controls, # vs. ESCC (I), Δ vs. ESCC (II), Y vs. ESCC (III), *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
