Project description:Helicobacter pylori infection reprograms host gene expression and influences various cellular processes, which have been investigated by cDNA microarray in vitro culture cells and in vivo patients of the chronic abdominal complaint. In this study，the effects of H. pylori infection on host gene expression in the gastric antral mucosa of patients with chronic gastritis were examined.
Project description:Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a human pathogen that infects almost half of the world’s population. Infection with H. pylori is frequently associated with chronic gastritis and can even lead to gastric and duodenal ulcers and gastric cancer. Although the persistent colonization of H. pylori and the development of H. pylori-associated gastritis remain poorly understood, it is believed that, in gastric mucosa, the modulated gastric epithelial cells (GECs) by H. pylori are key contributors. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in Helicobacter pylori infected-gastric epithelial cell line AGS cells and identified up-regulated genes induced by Helicobacter pylori infection.
Project description:Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection is an important factor in the occurrence of human gastric diseases, but its pathogenic mechanism is not clear. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent reversible methylation modification in mammalian RNA and it plays a crucial role in controlling many biological processes. We used MeRIP-seq technology to sequence the GES-1 cells infected with Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) for 48 h.
Project description:Helicobacter pylori infection reprograms host gene expression and influences various cellular processes, which have been investigated by cDNA microarray in vitro culture cells and in vivo patients of the chronic abdominal complaint. In this study，the effects of H. pylori infection on host gene expression in the gastric antral mucosa of patients with chronic gastritis were examined. The gastric antral mucosa was obtained from a total of 6 untreated patients undergoing gastroscopic and pathologic confirmation of chronic superficial gastritis. Three patients infected by H. pylori and 3 patients uninfected were used to cDNA microarray experiment.
