    Helicobacter pylori VacA induces autophagic cell death in gastric epithelial cells via the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway

    The Helicobacter pylori vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA) can promote progressive vacuolation and gastric injury and may be associated with human gastric cancer. Increasing evidence indicates that autophagy is involve...

    Increased intratumoral IL-22-producing CD4+ T cells and Th22 cells correlate with gastric cancer progression and predict poor patient survival

    IL-22-producing CD4+ T cells (IL-22+CD4+ T cells) and Th22 cells (IL-22+IL-17IFN-γCD4+ T cells) represent newly discovered T-cell subsets, but their nature, regulation, and clinical relevance in gastric cancer ...

    Helicobacter pylori HP0876 is Dispensable for Heme–Iron Acquisition but Attenuates Bacterial Adherence to Gastric Epithelial Cells

    Helicobacter pylori can efficiently capture iron either from free heme or heme-containing compounds in the iron-limited gastric mucosa. However, the heme iron utilization systems of H. pylori hav...

    Role of gamma-delta T cells in host response against Staphylococcus aureus-induced pneumonia

    Staphylococcus aureus is the major cause of hospital-acquired and community-acquired pneumonia. Host defense to S.aureus infection is largely mediated by the innate immune system. γδ T cells play an important rol...

    H. pylori related proinflammatory cytokines contribute to the induction of miR-146a in human gastric epithelial cells

    MicroRNAs have been implicated as a central regulator of the immune system. We have previously reported that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) was able to increase the expression of miR-146a, and miR-146a may negat...
