Core Tip |
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is the most significant risk factor for gastric cancer (GC). More than half of the global population has H. pylori infection, and 1%-3% of the infected individuals develop GC, but the mechanism behind this link remains unclear. Here, we identified 32 highly expressed genes in H. pylori-infected GC cells and demonstrated that H. pylori-induced high expression of JUN and fos-like antigen-1 formed activator protein-1 to transcriptionally activate dickkopf-related protein (DKK) 1, which by binding to cytoskeleton-associated protein 4 (CKAP4) receptor activated the PI3K/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin pathway and, consequently, gastric tumorigenesis. Targeting the DKK1/CKAP4 interaction may be a novel strategy to treat GC. |
