RESUMO
A gravidade da Helicobacter pylori relacionados com a doença está relacionada com a presença e a integridade de uma cag ilha de patogenicidade ( cag PAI). O genótipo de cag PAI pode ter um efeito modificador sobre o potencial patogênico da cepa infectante. Depois de analisar as seqüências de genes de cag PAI, algumas cepas com os genes PAI de cag do tipo do Leste Oriental foram selecionadas para análise posterior para examinar a associação entre a diversidade dos genes PAI cag e a virulência de H. pylori . Os resultados mostraram que a infiltração de células inflamatórias da mucosa gástrica foi significativamente maior em pacientes com genes PAI cag do leste asiáticoH. pylori estirpe em comparação com mosaicismo cag genes PAI H. pylori estirpe ( p <0,05). As cepas de H. pylori com os genes PAI do cag do tipo do Leste Asiático foram intimamente associadas à secreção de IL-8 in vitro e in vivo em comparação com cepas de H. pylori com os genes PAI do mosaicism cag ( p <0,01). As cepas de H. pylori com genes PAI cag do leste asiático são capazes de translocar fortemente CagA para células hospedeiras. Estes resultados sugerem que as cepas de H. pylori com cag do tipo East AsianOs genes PAI são mais virulentos do que as cepas do gene / genes PAI de CAG que são de tipo ocidental.(AU)

Abstract The severity of Helicobacter pylori-related disease is correlated with the presence and integrity of a cag pathogenicity island (cagPAI). cagPAI genotype may have a modifying effect on the pathogenic potential of the infecting strain. After analyzing the sequences of cagPAI genes, some strains with the East Asian-type cagPAI genes were selected for further analysis to examine the association between the diversity of the cagPAI genes and the virulence of H. pylori. The results showed that gastric mucosal inflammatory cell infiltration was significantly higher in patients with East Asian-type cagPAI genes H. pylori strain compared with mosaicism cagPAI genes H. pylori strain (p < 0.05). H. pylori strains with the East Asian-type cagPAI genes were closely associated with IL-8 secretion in vitro and in vivo compared with H. pylori strains with the mosaicism cagPAI genes (p < 0.01). H. pylori strains with East Asian-type cagPAI genes are able to strongly translocate CagA to host cells. These results suggest that H. pylori strains with East Asian-type cagPAI genes are more virulent than the strains of cagPAI gene/genes that are Western type.

Gastric mucosa tissue was collected from patients with gastroduodenal diseases in a region of norrteastern China showing a high risk of gastric cancer incidence. The presence of EBV and HPV were assayed to investigate the relationship between gastric carcinomas and virus infection. Neither EBV nor HPV DNA was detected in tissue from the patients. The role of EBV and HPV in gastric cancer is not well understood and still needs to be clarified.
