Detection of anti-VacA antibody responses in serum and gastric juice samples using type s1/m1 and s2/m2 Helicobacter pylori VacA antigens.
Several different families of vacuolating toxin (vacA) alleles are present in Helicobacter pylori, and they encode products with differing functional activities. H. pylori strains containing certain types of vacA alleles have been associated with an increased risk for peptic ulcer disease. In this study, we tested serum samples and gastric juice from 19 H. pylori-negative and 39 H. pylori-posit...
متن کاملRole of autophagy associated with Helicobacter pylori CagA and VacA toxins in gastric cancer
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram-negative microaerophilic bacterium that has been introduced as a cause of mucosal inflammation and gastric cancer. The most important pathogenic factors are VacA and CagA, which are associated with increased disease severity in clinical strains. Autophagy is a protected lysosomal degradation pathway degrading cytoplasmic content and is important in host...
متن کاملHelicobacter pylori vacuolating cytotoxin, VacA.
Helicobacter pylori is the leading bacterial cause of food-borne illness worldwide and plays a major role in the development of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer. Strains isolated from patients contain the cagA gene (cytotoxin-associated gene A) and produce the vacuolating cytotoxin, VacA. Recent molecular and cellular studies of VacA action have begun to unravel its structure...
متن کاملSerum VEGF Levels in Helicobacter pylori Infection and Correlation with Helicobacter pylori cagA and vacA Genes
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori vacA and cagA genes are associated with higher virulence. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is one important marker for neo-angiogenesis. AIM The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between VEGF serum levels with cagA and vacA genes in H. pylori infection. METHODS A cross-sectional study was done on eighty patients that consecutiv...
متن کاملAntibody against Helicobacter pylori CagA and VacA and the risk for gastric cancer.
AIM Helicobacter pylori is associated with gastric cancer. Our aim was to investigate whether CagA or VacA seropositivity provides additional risk for gastric cancer. METHODS Sera from 110 gastric cancer patients were sex and aged matched with asymptomatic controls. H pylori status was determined by IgG enzyme immunoassay (HM-CAP EIA); CagA status was assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent a...
