Helicobacter pylori infection is strongly associated with primary gastric diseases, such as extranodal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with histologic evidence of MALT origin, and gastric carcinoma. The cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) protein behaves as a bacterial oncoprotein, promoting tumorigenesis via dysregulation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT pathway (PI3K/AKT). We investigated the molecular mechanisms of PI3K/AKT pathway dysregulation in H.

Background: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a B-cell hemopathy characterized by the t(11;14) translocation and the aberrant overexpression of cyclin D1. This results in an unrestrained cell proliferation. Other genetic alterations are common in MCL cells such as SOX11 expression, mutations of ATM and/or TP53 genes, activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway and NOTCH receptors.
