Strains were further characterized for virulence genes, adhesion ability, and inflammation responses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 11 non-disease, 15 gastritis, and 15 gastric cancer participated in the study...

OBJECTIVES: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-a gastric bacteria affecting almost 50% of the global population and leading to ulcers and cancer in severe cases-is a growing health concern among Indigenous populations who report a high burden of reported poor general health and gastrointestinal distress. We test hypothesized associations between H. pylori exposure patterns and environmental, social, and biological conditions among a sample of 212 Indigenous Awajún adults (112 males, 100 females, ages 18-65 years) living in the northern Peruvian Amazon...

Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly prescribed long-acting drugs used to treat acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and peptic ulcers. Recently, concerns have been raised about their safety, particularly due to the association between long-term PPI use and cancer development. Multiple comprehensive studies have consistently suggested a noteworthy link between prolonged PPI usage and an increased risk of developing gastric, esophageal, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers, yet the precise underlying mechanism remains elusive...

INTRODUCTION: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has been associated with gastric carcinogenesis. However, the precise involvement of LRP8, the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8, in H. pylori pathogenesis and gastric cancer (GC) remains poorly understood. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the potential roles of LRP8 in H. pylori infection and gastric carcinogenesis. METHODS: Three-dimensional human-derived gastric organoids (hGO) and gastric cancer organoids (hGCO) were synthesized from the tissues obtained from human donors...

Background: Helicobacter pylori is implicated in the development of gastritis, ulcers, and various gastric cancers, representing significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare spending. Patients with H. pylori infection have traditionally been treated with oral antibiotics, however, oral therapy is not feasible in all clinical situations. We examined the available evidence supporting the use of intravenous (IV) antibiotics in H. pylori . Methods: This systematic review was carried out by reviewing multiple electronic databases: MEDLINE, CENTRAL, EMBASE, CINAHL, Clinicaltrials...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram-negative bacteria with a worldwide infection rate of 50%, known to induce gastritis, ulcers and gastric cancer. The interplay between H. pylori and immune cells within the gastric mucosa is pivotal in the pathogenesis of H. pylori-related disease. Following H. pylori infection, there is an observed increase in gastric mucosal macrophages, which are associated with the progression of gastritis. H. pylori elicits macrophage polarization, releases cytokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) to promote inflammatory response and eliminate H...

Yu et al 's study in the World Journal of Gastroenterology (2023) introduced a novel regimen of Vonoprazan-amoxicillin dual therapy combined with Saccharomyces boulardii ( S. boulardii ) for the rescue therapy against Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) , a pathogen responsible for peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. Vonoprazan is a potassium-competitive acid blocker renowned for its rapid and long-lasting acid suppression, which is minimally affected by mealtime. Compared to proton pump inhibitors, which bind irreversibly to cysteine residues in the H+ /K+ -ATPase pump, Vonoprazan competes with the K+ ions, prevents the ions from binding to the pump and blocks acid secretion...

The noninvasive detection technique using serum for large-scale screening is useful for the early diagnosis of gastric cancer (GC). Herein, we employed liquid chromatography mass spectrometry to determine the serum proteome signatures and related pathways in individuals with gastric precancerous (pre-GC) lesions and GC and explore the effect of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) infection. Differentially expressed proteins in GC and pre-GC compared with non-atrophic gastritis (NAG) group were identified. APOA4, a protein associated with metaplastic differentiation, and COMP, an extracellular matrix protein, were increased in the serum of patients with pre-GC lesions and GC...

BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) accounts for the majority of gastric cancer (GC) cases globally. The present study found that H. pylori promoted GC stem cell (CSC)-like properties, therefore, the regulatory mechanism of how H. pylori promotes GC stemness was explored. METHODS: Spheroid-formation experiments were performed to explore the self-renewal capacity of GC cells. The expression of R-spondin 3 (RSPO3), Nanog homeobox, organic cation/carnitine transporter-4 (OCT-4), SRY-box transcription factor 2 (SOX-2), CD44, Akt, glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), p-Akt, p-GSK-3β, β-catenin, and G protein subunit gamma 7 (GNG7) were detected by RT-qPCR, western blotting, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and immunofluorescence...

BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) is the primary risk factor for gastric cancer (GC), the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway is closely linked to tumourigenesis. GC has a high mortality rate and treatment cost, and there are no drugs to prevent the progression of gastric precancerous lesions to GC. Therefore, it is necessary to find a novel drug that is inexpensive and preventive to against GC. AIM: To explore the effects of H. pylori and Moluodan on the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway and precancerous lesions of GC (PLGC)...

Gastric cancer (GC) is a prevalent malignancy worldwide. Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ), a Gram-negative spiral bacterium, has the ability to colonize and persist in the human gastric mucosa. Persistent H. pylori infection has been identified as a major risk factor for ~80% of GC cases. The interplay between H. pylori pathogenicity, genetic background, and environmental factors collectively contribute to GC transformation. Eradicating H. pylori infection is beneficial in reducing the recurrence of gastric cancer and residual cancer...

Gastric cancer (GC) is a prevalent form of malignancy characterized by significant heterogeneity. The development of a specific prediction model is of utmost importance to improve therapy alternatives. The presence of H. pylori can elicit pyroptosis, a notable carcinogenic process. Furthermore, the administration of chemotherapeutic drugs is often employed as a therapeutic approach to addressing this condition. In the present investigation, it was observed that there were variations in the production of 17 pyroptosis-regulating proteins between stomach tissue with tumor development and GC cells...

OBJECTIVES: Eradication of Helicobacter pylori reduces the risk of gastric cancer (GC). Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are known to be at increased risk for GC. In a cohort of H. pylori -positive individuals, we assessed whether those with T2DM were at risk of persistent infection following H. pylori treatment compared with individuals without T2DM. METHODS: A random subset of all individuals diagnosed as having H. pylori without intestinal metaplasia at endoscopy from 2015 to 2019 were stratified evenly by race (Black and White)...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria that infects the stomach. The detection of H. pylori is an essential part of current clinical practices because this disease can cause peptic ulcers, chronic inflammation of the stomach lining but also stomach cancer. Helicobacter pylori has a naturally occurring enzyme that hydrolyzes urea into ammonium carbonate called urease. Many methods exist for the detection of H. pylori infection, but an innovative approach is to detect the ammonia in the breath (ABT, Ammonia Breath Test)...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), known for causing gastric inflammation, gastritis and gastric cancer, prompted our study to investigate the differential expression of cytokines in gastric tissues, which is crucial for understanding H. pylori infection and its potential progression to gastric cancer. Focusing on Il-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, IL-18, and TNF-α, we analysed gene and protein levels to differentiate between H. pylori-infected and non-infected gastritis. We utilised real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) for gene quantification, immunohistochemical staining, and ELISA for protein measurement...

Helicobacter pylori infection is widespread in 50% of the world's population and is associated with gastric ulcers and related disorders that ultimately culminate in gastric cancer. Levofloxacin-based, or clarithromycin-based, triple therapy is frequently used to inhibit the bacterial urease enzyme for the eradication of H. pylori . A comprehensive investigation based on the urease inhibitory profiles of antibiotics and their computational implications is lacking in the scientific literature. The present study was aimed specifically to determine the antiurease activities within the realms of cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones by in vitro methods supported with in silico investigations...

Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) infection is a known cause of many digestive diseases, including gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms by which H. pylori infection triggers these disorders are still not clearly understood. Gastric cancer is a slow progressing disease, which makes it difficult to study. We have developed an accelerated disease progression mouse model, which leverages mice deficient in the myeloid differentiation primary response 88 gene ( Myd88 -/- ) infected with Helicobacter felis ( H...
