Helicobacter pylori induces somatic mutations in TP 53 via overexpression of CHAC 1 in infected gastric epithelial cells
16 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
Infection with Helicobacter pylori is known to decrease the level of glutathione in gastric epithelial cells and increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can lead to DNA damage and the development of gastric cancer. Cation transport regulator 1 (CHAC1) has γ‐glutamylcyclotransferase activity that degrades glutathione. We found that cagA‐positive H. pylori infection triggered CHAC1...
