Helicobacter pylori cag+ strains enhance gastric epithelial cell proliferation and attenuate apoptosis in vivo, which may partially explain the increased risk of gastric cancer associated with these strains. The goals of this study were to identify specific H. pylori genes that regulate epithelial cell cycle events and determine whether these effects were dependent upon p53-mediated pathways. AGS gastric...
