Helicobacter pylori Promotes Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition in Gastric Cancer by Downregulating Programmed Cell Death Protein 4 (PDCD4)

Abstract: Helicobacter pylori, a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium found in the stomach, is assumed to be associated with carcinogenesis, invasion and metastasis in digestive diseases. Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) is an oncogenic protein of H. pylori that is encoded by a Cag pathogenicity island related to the development of gastric cancer. The epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is the main biological event in invasion or metastasis of epithelial cells. H. pylori may promote EMT in human gastric cancer… Show more

“…Downregulation of the tumor suppressor protein PDCD4 (programmed cell death 4) [1] has been linked to diverse human cancers, including liver, [2a] colorectal, [2b] brain, [2c] ; ovarian, [2d] and gastric carcinomas. [2e] Conversely, murine epidermal cells resistant to tumor promotion possess elevated levels of PDCD4.…”
