Modification of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Peptidoglycan Enhances NOD1 Activation and Promotes Cancer of the Stomach
2 Mar 2015
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the strongest known risk factor for gastric carcinogenesis. One cancer-linked locus is the cag pathogenicity island, which translocates components of peptidoglycan into host cells. NOD1 is an intracellular immune receptor that senses peptidoglycan from Gram-negative bacteria and responds by inducing autophagy and activating NF-κB, leading to inflammation-mediated bacterial...
