Abstract

Integrin expression in cancer tissues demonstrates its possible contribution to tumor progression, invasion, and metastasis. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is related to gastric cancer and gastric inflammation. H. pylori induced upregulation in expression of integrin in gastric epithelia cells. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are considered as an important regulator in the pathogenesis of H. pylori-induced gastric ulceration and carcinogenesis. Integrin expression may be regulated by oxidant-sensitive transcription factors, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1). The present study aims to investigate whether H. pylori in aKorean isolate (HP99) induces the expression of integrin α5 and integrin β1, and whether H. pylori-induced expression of integrin α5 and integrin β1 are inhibited in the cells transfected with mutant genes for Ras (ras N-17), c-Jun (TAM-67), and IκBα(MAD-3) or treated with DPI, an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase. As a result, H. pylori induced the expression of integrin α5 and integrin β1 in gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS) cells time-dependently. Treatment of DPI or transfection with mutant genes for Ras (ras N-17), c-jun (TAM67), and IκBα(MAD3) inhibited H. pylori-induced expression of integrin α5 and integrin β1 in AGS cells. In conclusion, H. pylori activates Ras, NF-κB, and AP-1 and thus induces the expression of integrin α5 and integrin β1 in gastric epithelial cells. Inhibition of ROS production by DPI suppressed the expression of integrin α5 and integrin β1 in gastric epithelial cells. The results suggest the possible involvement of NADPH oxidase for ROS production in H. pylori-infected gastric epithelial cells.
