Helicobacter pylori stimulates host vascular endothelial growth factor‐A ( vegf‐A ) gene expression via MEK/ERK‐dependent activation of Sp1 and Sp3
3 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
VEGF-A is a key regulator of inflammatory and tumor-associated angiogenesis. H. pylori plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of benign and malignant gastric diseases. It has been suggested that H. pylori infection is associated with activation of host angiogenesis, however, underlying mechanisms as well as angiogenic growth factors activated by the bacterium have not yet been identified. Therefore, we...
