Spermine oxidase promotes Helicobacter pylori-mediated gastric carcinogenesis through acrolein production
10 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Helicobacter pylori is the primary cause of gastric cancer, and there is a need to discover new molecular targets for therapeutic intervention in H. pylori disease progression. We have previously shown that spermine oxidase (SMOX), the enzyme that catabolizes the back-conversion of the polyamine spermine to spermidine, is upregulated during infection and is associated with increased cancer risk in...
