[A novel mechanism for H. pylori-induced cell damage--induction of gene mutation by AID].

Abstract excerpt

H. pylori infection causes gastric cancer development through gastritis. However, the precise mechanism for H. pylori-induced carcinogenesis remains unclear. On the other hand, accumulation of gene mutations is a hallmark of cancers, but mechanism of endogenous induction of mutation also remains unknown. Here, we found that H. pylori infection triggers aberrant expression of activation-induced cytidine deaminase...
