Induction of TLR-2 and TLR-5 Expression by Helicobacter pylori Switches cagPAI-Dependent Signalling Leading to the Secretion of IL-8 and TNF-α
9 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori is the causative agent for developing gastritis, gastric ulcer, and even gastric cancer. Virulent strains carry the cag pathogenicity island (cagPAI) encoding a type-IV secretion system (T4SS) for injecting the CagA protein. However, mechanisms of sensing this pathogen through Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and downstream signalling pathways in the development of different pathologies are widely...
