Draft Genome Sequence of Gerbil-Adapted Carcinogenic Helicobacter pylori Strain 7.13
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report here the draft genome sequence of Helicobacter pylori strain 7.13, a gerbil-adapted strain that causes gastric cancer in gerbils. Strain 7.13 is derived from clinical strain B128, isolated from a patient with a duodenal ulcer. This study reveals genes associated with the virulence of the strain.

متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Strain X47-2AL, a Feline Helicobacter pylori Isolate
Helicobacter pylori is a human-specific pathogen that exclusively inhabits the human gastric mucosa. However, occasionally, humans transmit H. pylori to susceptible animal hosts bred in colonies. Here, we report the genome sequence of strain X47-2AL, isolated from a domestic cat and used in anti-H. pylori immunization studies.
متن کاملHydrogen Metabolism in Helicobacter pylori Plays a Role in Gastric Carcinogenesis through Facilitating CagA Translocation
UNLABELLED A known virulence factor of Helicobacter pylori that augments gastric cancer risk is the CagA cytotoxin. A carcinogenic derivative strain, 7.13, that has a greater ability to translocate CagA exhibits much higher hydrogenase activity than its parent noncarcinogenic strain, B128. A Δhyd mutant strain with deletion of hydrogenase genes was ineffective in CagA translocation into human g...
متن کاملRegulation of gastric carcinogenesis by Helicobacter pylori virulence factors.
Helicobacter pylori is the strongest known risk factor for gastric adenocarcinoma, and strains that possess the cag secretion system, which translocates the bacterial effector CagA into host cells, augment cancer risk. H. pylori strains that express the vacuolating cytotoxin or the outer membrane protein OipA are similarly associated with severe pathologic outcomes. We previously reported that ...
متن کاملStrain-specific suppression of microRNA-320 by carcinogenic Helicobacter pylori promotes expression of the antiapoptotic protein Mcl-1.
Helicobacter pylori is the strongest risk factor for gastric cancer, and strains harboring the cag pathogenicity island, which translocates the oncoprotein CagA into host cells, further augment cancer risk. We previously reported that in vivo adaptation of a noncarcinogenic H. pylori strain (B128) generated a derivative strain (7.13) with the ability to induce adenocarcinoma, providing a unique...
