H pylori infection induces active inflammation with neutrophilic infiltrations as well as production of oxygen free radicals that can cause DNA damage. The DNA damage induced by oxygen free radicals could have very harmful consequences,leading to gene modifications that are potentially mutagenic and/or carcinogenic. The aims of the present study were to assess the effect of H pyloriinfection on the expression of inducible nitric oxidative synthase (iNOS) and the production of 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a sensitive marker of oxidative DNA injury in human gastric mucosa with and without tumor lesions, and to assess the possible factors affecting cell death signaling due tooxidative DNA damage.METHODS: In this study, 40 gastric carcinoma specimens and adjacent specimens were obtained from surgical resection. We determined the level of 8-OHdG formation by HPLC-ECD, and the expression of iNOS and mechanism of cell death signaling [including nuclear factor-κB(NFκB),MEKK-1, Caspase 3, B Cell lymphomal leukemia-2 (Bcl-2),inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) and myeloid cellleukemia-1 (Mcl-1)] by Western-blot assay.RFSULTS: The concentrations of 8-OHdG, iNOS, NFx3, Mcl-1 and IAP were significantly higher in cancer tissues than in adjacent non-cancer tissues. In addition, significantly higher concentrations of 8-OHdG, iNOS, NFxB, Mcl-1 and lAP were detected in patients infected with H pyloricompared with patients who were not infected with HpylorL Furthermore,8-OHdG, iNOS, NFκB, Mcl-1 and IAP concentrations were significantly higher in stage 3 and 4 patients than in stage1 and 2 patients.CONCLUSION: Chronic Hpylori infection induces iNOS expression and subsequent DNA damage as well as enhances anti-apoptosis signal transduction. This sequence of events supports the rihypothesis that oxygen-free radical-mediated damage due to Hpyloriplays a pivotal role in the development of gastric carcinoma in patients with chronic gastritis.展开更多
