Helicobacter pylori urease induces pro‐inflammatory effects and differentiation of human endothelial cells: Cellular and molecular mechanism
25 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori urease (HPU) is a key virulence factor that enables bacteria to colonize and survive in the stomach. We early demonstrated that HPU, independent of its catalytic activity, induced inflammatory and angiogenic responses in vivo and directly activated human neutrophils to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). We have investigated the effects of HPU on endothelial cells, focusing on...
