Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In Japan, most gastric cancers are associated with chronic infection of the stomach mucosa with Helicobacter pylori cagA-positive strains. Approximately 10% of cancers also have Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the cancer cells. CagA protein undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation in gastric epithelial cells. Tyrosine-phosphorylated CagA binds to the pro-oncogenic phosphatase SHP2 and thereby deregulates the phosphatase activity, which has been considered to play an important role in gastric carcinogenesis. In this study, we found that the SHP2 homologue SHP1 dephosphorylates CagA. Infection of gastric epithelial cells with EBV induced SHP1 promoter hypermethylation, which strengthened phosphorylation-dependent CagA action via epigeneticc downregulation of SHP1 expression.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
ピロリ菌の病原因子であるCagAタンパク質は、胃上皮細胞内でチロシンリン酸化されて発がん活性を発揮する。本研究では、CagAをチロシン脱リン酸化する酵素としてSHP1を同定した。SHP1は胃がん抑制酵素として位置づけられることから、本研究成果の医学的意義は極めて大きい。さらに、Epstein-Barrウイルスとピロリ菌が重感染した細胞では、EBウイルス感染によりSHP1発現が低下する結果、ピロリ菌CagAの発がん活性が増強することを明らかにした。発がんにおける細菌とウイルスの連携作用を世界で初めて示した研究成果である。
