Carcinogenic Role of Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Inducing Protein of Helicobacter pylori in Human Stomach
31 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori is the definitive carcinogen for stomach cancer and is known to induce proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1(IL-1) in the stomach. Based on our findings that TNF-alpha is an endogenous tumor promoter, we identified the TNFalpha inducing protein (Tipalpha) gene family, and confirmed Tipalpha and HP-MP1 as new carcinogenic proteins of H....
