Core Tip The factors beyond the well-known bacterial toxins, CagA and VacA, influence disease progression. Helicobacter pylori infection can cause DNA double-strand breaks and create a hypoxic environment in the stomach lining. This activates hypoxia-inducible factors, which promote processes like tissue remodeling, new blood vessel formation, and the appearance of cancer stem cell-like populations. At the same time, infection-driven changes in regulatory molecules such as microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs can silence tumor-suppressor genes and disrupt immune control. Together, these emerging factors amplify the damage initiated by bacterial virulence factors, accelerating the transformation of normal gastric cells into cancerous ones.
