Helicobacter pylori induces apoptosis of macrophages in association with alterations in the mitochondrial pathway.

Abstract excerpt

Helicobacter pylori is a gastric bacterial pathogen that evades host immune responses in vivo and is associated with the development of gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancers. Induction of macrophage apoptosis is a method employed by multiple pathogens to escape host immune responses. Therefore, we hypothesized that H. pylori induces apoptosis of infected macrophages. RAW 264.7 cells were infected...
