Helicobacter pylori Strains and Gastric MALT Lymphoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article summarizes the main findings concerning Helicobacter pylori associated with gastric MALT lymphoma (GML). Considered together, GML strains based on their virulence factor profile appear to be less virulent than those associated with peptic ulcers or gastric adenocarcinoma. A particular Lewis antigen profile has been identified in GML strains and could represent an alternative adaptive mechanism to escape the host immune response thereby allowing continuous antigenic stimulation of infiltrating lymphocytes.

Genome Sequences of Three Helicobacter pylori Strains from Patients with Gastric Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma
Most of the published complete genome sequences of Helicobacter pylori strains are limited to clinical isolates associated with gastritis, peptic ulcers, or gastric cancer. The genome sequences of three H. pylori strains isolated from patients with gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma are presented here to facilitate studies of H. pylori-associated MALT lymphomagenesis.
متن کاملIs There a Link between the Lipopolysaccharide of Helicobacter pylori Gastric MALT Lymphoma Associated Strains and Lymphoma Pathogenesis?
The aim of this study was to investigate the Lewis antigen expression in Helicobacter pylori gastric MALT lymphoma associated strains in comparison to chronic gastritis only strains. Forty MALT strains (19 cagPAI (-) and 21 cagPAI (+)) and 39 cagPAI frequency-matched gastritis strains (17 cagPAI (-) and 22 cagPAI (+)) were included in this study. The lipopolyssacharide for each strain was extra...
متن کاملDifferences in amino acid frequency in CagA and VacA sequences of Helicobacter pylori distinguish gastric cancer from gastric MALT lymphoma
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori is a pathogenic bacterium that causes various gastrointestinal diseases. The most common gastric malignancies associated with H. pylori are gastric cancer and lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Helicobacter pylori virulence genes, namely cagA and vacA, are known to be associated with malignancy development. Conventionally, cagA and vacA were cla...
متن کاملTreatment Outcome for Gastric Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma according to Helicobacter pylori Infection Status: A Single-Center Experience
BACKGROUND/AIMS Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy has been used as a first-line treatment for H. pylori-positive gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. However, the management strategy for H. pylori-negative MALT lymphoma remains controversial. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the success rate of each treatment option for H. pylori-positive and H. pylori...
متن کاملHelicobacter pylori infection and gastric lymphoma.
Gastric lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) has characteristic clinicopathological features that are different from nodal-type B cell lymphomas. Before a lymphoma can arise within the stomach, MALT has to be acquired as part of a response to an immunological stimulus. In most instances, gastric MALT is acquired in response to infection by Helicobacter pylori. There are several ...
