AI Article Synopsis

  • Gastric cancer (GC) is a common and serious digestive tract tumor, with risk factors including age, high salt intake, low fruit and vegetable consumption, and infections, particularly with a specific pathogen.
  • The infection can alter gastric epithelial cell behavior by activating carcinogenic pathways and causing changes in gene expression, though the exact mechanisms of these changes remain unclear.
  • This review explores the virulence factors of the pathogen, their impact on various signaling pathways (like NF-κB, MAPK, JAK/STAT), and discusses potential new immunotherapy approaches for treating gastric cancer.

Article Abstract

One of the most prevalent malignant tumors of the digestive tract is gastric cancer (GC). Age, high salt intake, () infection, and a diet deficient in fruits and vegetables are risk factors for the illness. A significant risk factor for gastric cancer is infection with . Infecting gastric epithelial cells with virulence agents secreted by can cause methylation of tumor genes or carcinogenic signaling pathways to be activated. Regulate downstream genes' aberrant expression, albeit the precise mechanism by which this happens is unclear. Oncogene, oncosuppressor, and other gene modifications, as well as a number of different gene change types, are all directly associated to the carcinogenesis of gastric cancer. In this review, we describe comprehensive and its virulence factors, as well as the activation of the NF-κB, MAPK, JAK/STAT signaling pathways, and DNA methylation following infection with host cells via virulence factors, resulting in abnormal gene expression. As a result, host-related proteins are regulated, and gastric cancer progression is influenced. This review provides insight into the infection, summarizes a series of relevant papers, discusses the complex signaling pathways underlying molecular mechanisms, and proposes new approach to immunotherapy of this important disease.
