Abstract excerpt
The regulation of Helicobacter pylori induced interleukin (IL)-6 in the gastric epithelium remains unclear. Primary gastric epithelial cells and MKN28 cells were cocultured with H. pylori and its isogenic cag pathogenicity island (PAI) mutant and/or oipA mutants. H. pylori infection-induced IL-6 mRNA expression and IL-6 protein production, which was further enhanced by the cag PAI and OipA. Luciferase reporter...
