Comparison of gastric inflammation and metaplasia induced by or colonization in mice.

Unlabelled: Gastric cancer is the fifth most diagnosed cancer in the world. Infection by the bacteria (HP) is associated with approximately 75% of gastric cancer cases. HP infection induces chronic gastric inflammation, damaging the stomach and fostering carcinogenesis.

Comparison of gastric inflammation and metaplasia induced by or colonization in mice.

Background: Gastric cancer is the fifth most diagnosed cancer in the world. Infection by the bacteria (HP) is associated with approximately 75% of gastric cancer cases. HP infection induces chronic gastric inflammation, damaging the stomach and fostering carcinogenesis.

Glucocorticoid regulation of cancer development and progression.

Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones that regulate a host of cellular and physiological functions. However, they are arguably best known for their potent anti-inflammatory properties. Chronic inflammation is well-known to promote the development and progression of numerous types of cancer, and emerging evidence suggests that glucocorticoid regulation of inflammation affects cancer development.

Tristetraprolin Prevents Gastric Metaplasia in Mice by Suppressing Pathogenic Inflammation.

Background & Aims: Aberrant immune activation is associated with numerous inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and contributes to cancer development and progression. Within the stomach, inflammation drives a well-established sequence from gastritis to metaplasia, eventually resulting in adenocarcinoma. Unfortunately, the processes that regulate gastric inflammation and prevent carcinogenesis remain unknown.
