Autophagy impairment byHelicobacter pylori-induced methylation silencing ofMAP1LC3Av1promotes gastric carcinogenesis
18 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection induces methylation silencing of tumor suppressor genes causing gastric carcinogenesis. Impairment of autophagy induces DNA damage leading to genetic instability and carcinogenesis. We aimed to identify whether H. pylori infection induced methylation silencing of host autophagy-related (Atg) genes, impairing autophagy and enhancing gastric carcinogenesis. Gastric mucosae...
