Intestinal helminthiasis in Colombian children promotes a Th2 response to Helicobacter pylori: possible implications for gastric carcinogenesis.
BACKGROUND Colombians living in coastal Tumaco have a lower incidence of Helicobacter pylori-associated gastric cancer compared with residents of Pasto in the high Andes. Considering the risk for H. pylori disease seems affected by features of bacterial virulence and host polymorphisms, other poorly understood influences, such as concurrent helminthiasis, may also be important. METHODS Fecal ...
متن کاملHelicobacter pylori Lipopolysaccharide as a Possible Pathogenic Factor for Gastric Carcinogenesis
Helicobacter pylori is now recognized as being a causative factor of gastroduodenal diseases such as chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, gastric cancer and gastric low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoma tissue (MALT). Long-term persistent inflammation, injury and reconstitution of gastric mucosa, and immunological reactions against the infected H. pylori are thought to be the causes...
متن کاملGastric mucosal response to Helicobacter pylori.
Since Marshall's discovery before 20 years, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is reportedly to be associated with a variety of clinical outcomes including peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. The first step of the H. pylori colonization might be its adhesion to the surface epithelial cells, which evokes gastric inflammatory events initiated by neutrophil recruitment from the microci...
متن کاملChemoprevention of Helicobacter pylori-associated gastric carcinogenesis in a mouse model: is it possible?
Although debates still exist whether Helicobacter pylori infection is really class I carcinogen or not, H. pylori has been known to provoke precancerous lesions like gastric adenoma and chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia as well as gastric cancer. Chronic persistent, uncontrolled gastric inflammations are possible basis for ensuing gastric carcinogenesis and H. pylori infecti...
متن کاملHelicobacter pylori-Induced Signaling Pathways Contribute to Intestinal Metaplasia and Gastric Carcinogenesis
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) induces chronic gastric inflammation, atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, and cancer. Although the risk of gastric cancer increases exponentially with the extent of atrophic gastritis, the precise mechanisms of gastric carcinogenesis have not been fully elucidated. H. pylori induces genetic and epigenetic changes in gastric epithelial cells through activat...
