TFF1, a mucin-associated secreted peptide of gastric mucous cells, is known as a protective agent for stomach epithelium under different stimuli, but its role upon <i>Helicobacter</i> infection is still not clear. In this paper we characterized TFFs expression, with particular attention to TFF1, under <i>Helicobacter</i> infection in gastric cell lines. A mouse model was used to distinguish TFF1 mRNA expression between acute and chronic stages of <i>Helicobacter</i> infection. Our results show t ...[more]
