Molecular response of gastric epithelial cells to Helicobacter pylori-induced cell damage

Abstract excerpt

Infection with the Gram-negative bacterium Helicobacter pylori leads to different clinical and pathological outcomes in humans, including chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and adenocarcinoma of the stomach. H. pylori-induced damage to gastric mucosal cells is controlled by bacterial virulence factors encoded by genes of the cag pathogenicity island, which trigger the inflammatory response of the host...
