Cytokine gene polymorphisms influence mucosal cytokine expression, gastric inflammation, and host specific colonisation during Helicobacter pylori infection.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Recent studies linked cytokine gene polymorphisms to H pylori related gastric cancer development. The current study evaluated the role of cytokine gene polymorphisms for mucosal cytokine expression, the gastric inflammatory response, and bacterial colonisation during H pylori infection. PATIENTS AND METHODS In 207 H pylori infected patients with chronic gastritis, polymorp...
متن کاملCytokine expression in pediatric Helicobacter pylori infection.
Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the most common gastrointestinal infections worldwide and almost invariably causes chronic gastritis in the infected host. A predominant Th1 profile has been demonstrated in H. pylori-infected mucosa from adults, but no previous study has evaluated in situ cytokine expression in children. We therefore examined expression of proinflammatory, anti-inflammat...
متن کاملThe influence of cytokine gene polymorphisms on the risk of developing gastric cancer in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori infection is the main cause of gastric cancer. The disease progression is influenced by the host inflammatory responses, and cytokine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may have a role in the course of the disease. The aim of our study was to investigate proinflammatory cytokine polymorphisms, previously associated with the development of gastric cancer, in a ...
متن کاملGastric mucosal cytokine and epithelial cell responses to Helicobacter pylori infection in Mongolian gerbils.
Experimental infection with Helicobacter pylori in Mongolian gerbils results in chronic gastritis and gastric cancer. To investigate epithelial cell proliferation, apoptosis, and mucosal cytokine responses in gastritis, Mongolian gerbils were infected with the H pylori SS1 strain. At 4 weeks post-infection, gastritis was predominantly within the antrum, but extended to the corpus in approximate...
متن کاملCytokine gene expression in Helicobacter pylori associated antral gastritis.
Infection of the gastric antrum by Helicobacter pylori is characterised by a cellular inflammatory infiltrate. Whether cytokines are involved in the pathogenesis of this gastritis has been investigated by studying the effect of eradicating H pylori on the expression of genes encoding the cytokines interleukin 8 (IL-8) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in the antral mucosa. Gastric an...
