Recent studies have reported that Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) is associated with gastric cancer (GC). Cancer‐derived exosomes contain key regulatory noncoding RNAs and are a crucial medium of intercellular communication. However, the function and regulatory mechanism of exosomes (Fn‐GCEx) secreted from Fn‐infected GC cells remains unclear. In this study, Fn‐GCEx enhanced the proliferation, migration, and invasion capacity of GC cells in vitro, as well as tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. HOTTIP was also upregulated in GC cells treated with Fn‐GCEx. Moreover, knockdown of HOTTIP weakened the effects of Fn‐GCEx in recipient GC cells. Mechanistically, HOTTIP promoted EphB2 expression by sponging microRNA (miR)‐885‐3p, thus activating the PI3K/AKT pathway in Fn‐GCEx treated GC cells. Overall, Fn infection induced the upregulation of exosomal HOTTIP from GC cells that subsequently promoted GC progression through the miR‐885‐3p/EphB2/PI3K/AKT axis. Herein, we identify a potential molecular pathway and therapeutic target for GC. In this study, we showed for the first time that the increase of exosomes secreted by gastric cancer (GC) cells caused by Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) infection can promote the progression of GC. Mechanistically, our results suggested that Fn infection induced the elevation of exosomal HOTTIP and promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of uninfected GC cells through the microRNA‐885‐3p/EphB2/PI3K/AKT pathway.
