ABSTRACT Helicobacter pylori infection performs a key role in gastric tumorigenesis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have demonstrated a great potential to be regarded as effective malignancy biomarkers for various gastrointestinal diseases including gastric cancer (GC). The present review highlights the relationship between lncRNAs and H. pylori in GC. Several studies have examined not only the involvement of lncRNAs in H. pylori-associated GC progression but also their molecular mechanisms of action. Among the pertinent studies, some have addressed the effects of H. pylori infection on modulatory networks of lncRNAs, while others have evaluated the effects of changes in the expression level of lncRNAs in H. pylori-associated gastric diseases, especially GC. The relationship between lncRNAs and H. pylori was found to be modulated by various molecular pathways.

Abstract Helicobacter pylori infects 4.4 billion individuals worldwide and is considered the most important etiologic agent for peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. Individual response to H. pylori infection is complex and depends on complex interactions between host and environmental factors. The pathway towards gastric cancer is a sequence of events known as Correa’s model of gastric carcinogenesis, a stepwise inflammatory process from normal mucosa to chronic-active gastritis, atrophy, metaplasia and gastric adenocarcinoma. This study examines gastric clinical specimens representing different steps of the Correa pathway with the aim of identifying the expression profiles of coding- and non-coding RNAs that may have a role in Correa’s model of gastric carcinogenesis. We screened for differentially expressed genes in gastric biopsies by employing RNAseq, microarrays and qRT-PCR. Here we provide a detailed description of the experiments, methods and results generated. The datasets may help other scientists and clinicians to find new clues to the pathogenesis of H. pylori and the mechanisms of progression of the infection to more severe gastric diseases. Data is available via ArrayExpress.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), commonly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), have been acknowledged as essential long-chain fatty acids imposing either optimal health promotion or the rescuing from chronic inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis, fatty liver, and various inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases. Recent studies dealing with EPA and DHA have sparked highest interests because detailed molecular mechanisms had been documented with the identification of its receptor, G protein coupled receptor, and GPR120. In this review article, we have described clear evidences showing that n-3 PUFAs could reduce variousHelicobacter pylori- (H. pylori-) associated gastric diseases and extended to play even cancer preventive outcomes includingH. pylori-associated gastric cancer by influencing multiple targets, including proliferation, survival, angiogenesis, inflammation, and metastasis. Since our previous studies strongly concluded that nonantimicrobial dietary approach for reducing inflammation, for instance, application of phytoceuticals, probiotics, natural products including Korean red ginseng, and walnut plentiful of n-3 PUFAs, might be prerequisite step for preventingH. pylori-associated gastric cancer as well as facilitating the rejuvenation of precancerous atrophic gastritis, these beneficial lipids can restore or modify inflammation-associated lipid distortion and correction of altered lipid rafts to send right signaling to maintain healthy stomach even after chronicH. pyloriinfection.

Abstract Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is one of the most well-known risk factors for getting the gastric cancer disease. In recent studies, the relationship between its virulence factors, specially CagA (cytotoxin‐associated gene A) toxin and development into the gastrointestinal diseases is taken into consideration. According to review of literature, despite the presence of four motifs A, B, C, and D in CagA toxin, two motifs C and D are more associated with gastrointestinal complications in patients who are infected by H. pylori. Methods: In the present study, we researched about theses ambiguities using a comprehensive meta-analysis study. In this study, we assessed the information of 1762 Iranian patients for potential relationship between all genotypes of cagA gene and gastrointestinal diseases.Results: According to statistical analysis, the abundance of cagA genotypes AB, ABC, ABCC, ABCCC, and ABD in Iranian population is 5.52%, 80.18%, 22.81%, 2.76%, and 0% respectively. In addition, it was determined that there is a significant relationship between cagA genotypes ABCC and ABCCC on the one hand and cagA genotype ABCCC on the other hand with susceptibility to chronic gastritis and gastric cancer respectively.Conclusions: Overall, it can be concluded that the higher number of EPIYA-C copy numbers lead to the higher risk of gastric cancer. According to our results, it seems that the presence of EPIYA-ABCCC motif in strains of H. pylori should be considered as an appropriate marker in preventing the gastric cancer among the Iranian population.

ABSTRACT Helicobacter pylori infection and H. pylori-related gastric inflammation can be considered as the most significant promoter of gastric cancer (GC). Recent investigations have evaluated the regulatory function of microRNAs (miRNAs) in H. pylori pathogenesis and H. pylori-related diseases, especially GC. The present study reviewed the correlation between miRNAs and H. pylori in gastrointestinal diseases. Furthermore, the current review highlighted the role of H. pylori pathogen and some H. pylori-related virulence factors in the deregulation of various miRNAs, especially oncogenic miRNAs (miRs) and their associated molecular pathways. Among the related studies, some have focused on the effects of H. pylori infection on regulatory networks of miRs, while others have highlighted the effects of alterations in the expression level of miRs in H. pylori-related diseases. The connectivity between miRNAs and H. pylori is regulated by various molecular pathways and different molecular targets of miRNAs.

Helicobacter pylori infection in stomach leads to gastric cancer, gastric ulcer, and duodenal ulcer. More than 1 million people die each year due to these diseases, but why most H. pylori-infected individuals remain asymptomatic while a certain proportion develops such severe gastric diseases remained an enigma. Several studies indicated that gastric and intestinal microbiota may play a critical role in the development of the H. pylori-associated diseases. However, no specific microbe in the gastric or intestinal microbiota has been clearly linked to H. pylori infection and related gastric diseases. Here, we studied H. pylori infection, its virulence genes, the intestinal microbiota, and the clinical status of Trivandrum residents (N = 375) in southwestern India by standard H. pylori culture, PCR genotype, Sanger sequencing, and microbiome analyses using Illumina Miseq and Nanopore GridION. Our analyses revealed that gastric colonization by virulent H. pylori strains (vacAs1i1m1cagA+) is necessary but not sufficient for developing these diseases. Conversely, distinct microbial pools exist in the lower gut of the H. pylori-infected vs. H. pylori-non-infected individuals. Bifidobacterium (belonging to the phylum Actinobacteria) and Bacteroides (belonging to the phylum Bacteroidetes) were present in lower relative abundance for the H. pylori+ group than the H. pylori- group (p < 0.05). On the contrary, for the H. pylori+ group, genus Dialister (bacteria belonging to the phylum Firmicutes) and genus Prevotella (bacteria belonging to the phylum Bacteroidetes) were present in higher abundance compared to the H. pylori- group (p < 0.05). Notably, those who carried H. pylori in the stomach and had developed aggressive gastric diseases also had extremely low relative abundance (p < 0.05) of several Bifidobacterium species (e.g., B. adolescentis, B. longum) in the lower gut suggesting a protective role of Bifidobacterium. Our results show the link between lower gastrointestinal microbes and upper gastrointestinal diseases. Moreover, the results are important for developing effective probiotic and early prognosis of severe gastric diseases.

Helicobacter pylori infection concerns half of the world’s population, mainly in developing countries. It causes several gastrodudenal pathologies such as gastritis, ulcer and gastric adenocarcinoma. The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of H.pylori infection and to assess the impact of different epidemiological factors as well as principal gastric diseases associ-ated to this infection. We underwent a prospective study during 18 months (month 2016-month 2017) which implicated 201 symptomatic patients for gastric fiboptic endoscopy at the level of Sidi Bel Abbes University hospital. We collected patients’ biopsies to perform a histological study and H. pylori culture. H. pylori identification was carried out based on bacteriological and biochemical analysis. The middle age of our population was (47.29 ±15.97ans) and the sex-ratio =0,8. The global prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection is of 61.2% (123/201). This rate, after a statistic analysis, seems to be significantly related to age. It is particularly high especially for patients belonging to age range (20-30)-(51-60) years. The gender did not affect the infection prevalence that is more frequent in the gastritis case. We noticed also that HP infection prevalence was important in SBA the hospital. The range age (20-30)-(51-60) years had the highest prevalence of H. pylori and of gastritis which might be a risky ground of gastric cancer appearance. The ulcer pathology maximal rate concerned the group of 51 to 60 years. Above this age, this rate dropped whereas the number of patients suffering from gastric cancer, which presents an important rate in our study, increase for the group of 61-70 years.

Abstract Background: Gastric cancer risk evolves over time due to environmental, dietary, and lifestyle changes including Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and consumption of hot peppers (i.e. capsaicin). H. pylori infection promotes gastric mucosal injury in the early phase of capsaicin exposure. In addition, capsaicin consumption is reported to suppress immune function and increase host susceptibility to microbial infection. This relationship suggests a need to investigate the mechanism of how both H. pylori infection and capsaicin contribute to gastric inflammation and lead to gastric cancer. No previous experimental animal models have been developed to study this dual association. Here we developed a series of mouse models that progress from chronic gastritis to gastric cancer. C57-Balb/c mice were infected with the H. pylori (SS1) strain and then fed capsaicin (0.05% or 0.2g/kg/day) or not. Consequently, we investigated the association between H. pylori infection and capsaicin consumption during the initiation of gastric inflammation and the later development of gastric cancer. Tumor size and phenotype were analyzed to determine the molecular mechanism driving the shift from gastritis to stomach cancer. Gastric carcinogenesis was also prevented in these models using the ornithine decarboxylase inhibitor DFMO (2-difluoromethylornithine). Results: This study provides evidence showing that a combination of H. pylori infection and capsaicin consumption leads to gastric carcinogenesis. The transition from chronic gastritis to gastric cancer is mediated through interleukin-6 (IL-6) stimulation with an incidence rate of 50%. However, this progression can be prevented by treating with anti-inflammatory agents. In particular, we used DFMO to prevent gastric tumorigenesis by reducing inflammation and promoting recovery of disease-free stasis. The anti-inflammatory role of DFMO highlights the injurious effect of inflammation in gastric cancer development and the need to reduce gastric inflammation for cancer prevention. Conclusions: Overall, these mouse models provide reliable systems for analyzing the molecular mechanisms and synergistic effects of H. pylori and capsaicin on human cancer etiology. Accordingly, preventive measures like reduced capsaicin consumption, H. pylori clearance, and DFMO treatment can lessen gastric cancer incidence. Lastly, anti-inflammatory agents like DFMO can play important roles in prevention of inflammation-associated gastric cancer.

Editorial: Helicobacter pylori is a micro-aerophilic, helical-form gramnegative aggressive bacteria. Accordingly, the idiom “Helico” intimates its helical appearance, “bacter” symbolizes bacteria, while “pylori” denotes stomach due to the first and common site of this bacteria living. Further, Marshall B. and Warren R. observed and described it in 1982. Then, the followed investigators studied this bacterium in detail with its consequences and complexities [1]. Gastric upset (Indigestion), dyspepsia: means impaired gastric digestion. Accordingly, the patient complains of upper abdominal pain, heartburn, belching, nausea, even feeling earlier gastric fullness than expected while eating. Furthermore, there are many causes of indigestion like gastroesophageal reflux disease, ulcer disease, gastritis, and even gastric cancer. Hence, unexplained recent onset dyspepsia in older people may need additional examinations. Moreover, one of the common causes is Helicobacter pylori infection, which needs laboratory and endoscopic examination [2]. Argument Many theories investigated the etiology and pathogenesis of Helicobacter pylori infection, concerning chronic or acute gastritis. Hence, gastric upset is the main presentation of both types of gastritis. Evidences The genotype is valuable in determining the dominant Helicobacter pylori strains as the isolates were different genetically plus heterogeneous distribution. Accordingly, the vac and cag markers operate a significant function in defining clinical consequences. These virulence agents are present in a subset of Helicobacter pylori strains isolates like cagA, iceA, vacA, and ureC. Moreover, the cagA causes cytotoxins induction by the gastric epithelial cell as Interleukin 8 [3]. The molecular intercommunication researches exhibit that the act of acarus calamus in hindering biofilm formation in Helicobacter pylori is due to the inhibitory impact of phytobio-active component, β-sitosterol, on the quorum sensing molecules-ToxB, PhnB, DnaA, plus Sip. Consequently, this opinion may suggest the molecular mechanism of Helicobacter pylori in producing the acidrelated complaints and gives a clue to a new therapy [4]. Helicobacter pylori infection causes lncRNA risk impression linked to H. pylori in gastric cancer patients and can prognosticate the prediction of these patients [5]. There was a close relationship between raised serum IgE levels in Helicobacter pylori infected patients [6]. Counterargument The laboratory investigations of Helicobacter pylori infection depend on several factors like the fluctuations of serum antibody titers in a time series, the antigene detection in stool tests, the false-positive results of lab tests, or the manner of endoscopic biopsy collection. Furthermore, other factors like the variations in Cytotoxin-Associated Gene A (CagA) in East Asian patients. Moreover, the gastric nodularity or atrophy, the patient’s age, the severity of the gastric mucosal infection are causes of variations in Helicobacter pylori detection at the time of the investigation [7]. Refutation The significant markers of H. pylori, the presence of the vacuolating cytotoxin (vacA), the cytotoxin-associated gene A (cagA), which induced by the direct communication with gastric epithelium factor antigen (iceA gene), and the presence of urease C gene (ureC). Consequently, all these factors play the principal factors in deciding the gastric consequences of Helicobacter infections. Conclusion Helicobacter pylori induce gastric upset by several mechanisms to form numerous Gastric diseases.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is one of the main causes of gastric gancer. TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a protein able to promote apoptosis in cancer cells, however not in gastric cancer, which presents resistance to apoptosis via TRAIL. It is believed that MicroRNA-106b-5p might be involved in this resistance, although its role in Gastric Cancer is unclear. We aimed to determine the expression of microRNA-106b-5p and TRAIL in patients with gastric diseases, infected by H. pylori, and understand the relationship between these genes and their role in apoptosis and the gastric cancer pathways. H. pylori was detected by PCR, gene expression analysis was performed by real-time-qPCR, and bioinformatics analysis was performed using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Cytoscape software. A total of 244 patients were divided into groups (Control, Gastritis, and Cancer); H. pylori was detected in 42.2% of the samples. The cancer group had a poor expression of TRAIL (p < 0.0001) and overexpression of microRNA-106b-5p (p = 0.0005), however, our results confirmed that these genes are not directly related to each other although both are apoptosis-related regulators. Our results also indicated that H. pylori decreases microRNA-106b-5p expression and that this is a carcinogenic bacterium responsible for gastric diseases.
