Research Abstract |
H.pylori enhances gastric cancer development through gastritis. In this study, we found that H.pylori infection induces AID expression, a member of APOBEC family protein, in the gastric mucosal cells, resulting in accumulation of various gene mutations. In addition, AID expression by H.pylori infection also causes not only loss but also gain of various genes, thus contributing to genome instability.
