<i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Induces MAPK Phosphorylation and AP-1 Activation via a NOD1-Dependent Mechanism
1 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori rapidly activates MAPKs and transcription factors, NF-kappaB and AP-1, in gastric epithelial cells following host attachment. Activation of these signal transducers is largely dependent on the cag pathogenicity island (cagPAI)-encoded Type IV Secretion System. H. pylori was shown to translocate peptidoglycan through the Type IV Secretion System, which is recognized by the pathogen recognition...
