Background: Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) plays a role in the progression of many tumors. However, the relationship between the level of HDAC6 expression and gastric tumorigenesis is still unclear. Here, we illustrate the potential correlation between Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and the variation of HDAC6 expression in different gastric lesions, as well as the clinical significance of HDAC6 expression in gastric cancer (GC) patients. Materials and Methods: Between 2011 and 2016, 364 patients with different types of gastric lesions were enrolled in Baotou City Central Hospital. Immunostaining of HDAC6 expression and HP infection were performed in the following cohort including 21 normal tissues (Normal); 40 samples with chronic superficial gastritis (CSG); 106 with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG); 94 with intestinal metaplasia (IM); 64 with dysplasia (DYS) and 39 with gastric cancer (GC). Survival analysis was performed in another 80 GC patients using the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate Cox regression analyses. The level of HDAC6 expression was determined by Real-time PCR, Western blotting and IHC staining in gastric cell lines and tissues. Furthermore, the correlation between HDAC6 expression and clinicopathological features and prognosis was analyzed in the GC cohort. HP strains were lavaged into Kunming mice to investigate the effects of HP infection on the expression of different HDAC members in this mouse model. Results: Higher levels of HDAC6 expression were detected in normal and premalignant lesions than in the GC tissues (p<0.01), and decreased HDAC6 expression was associated with HP infection and TNM stage (p<0.01 and p=0.048, respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed that HDAC6 expression was an independent predictor of the outcome of GC patients (p=0.04). HP mediated HDAC6 expression in the cell lines and KM mice. HP infection could promote HDAC1 and HDAC4 expression as determined by Western blotting. Conclusions: HDAC6 is a promising biomarker for early diagnosis and prognosis during the oncogenic transformation of gastric cancer.

AbstractBackground and Aims. Gastric cancer, because of its aggressive evolution and the high mortality associated with it, remains one of the most debated subjects in medical literature with Helicobacter pylori (HP) as a major risk factor. Chronic inflammation caused by HP infection represents the initial site of the predisposing and afterwards premalignant lesions for gastric carcinoma. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of HP infection, of predisposing and premalignant lesions on gastric biopsies, as well as to identify the correlations between them.Material and method. A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed on gastric biopsies collected endoscopically from a single region, antrum or corpus, and from different regions, between January 2012 and July 2014. Incidence of HP infection, of predisposing and premalignant gastric lesions, the correlation of HP infection and these lesions, were evaluated.Results. HP infection was diagnosed in 32.81%. Predisposing and premalignant lesions were present in 53.64% of biopsies with most of them in the antrum. HP infection stands out for the under 50 yo group (p=0.001). No correlation between frequency of HP infection and predisposing and premalignant lesions was observed.Conclusions. Prevalence of HP infection in our study suggests that besides HP infection, other factors are also involved in gastric cancer development. Biopsies from different regions of the gastric mucosa do not offer extra information regarding HP infection prevalence but may be helpful in evaluating incidence and extension of predisposing and premalignant lesions.

Gastric cancer constitutes one of the most prevalent malignancies in both sexes; it is currently the fourth major cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The pathogenesis of gastric cancer is associated with the interaction between genetic and environmental factors, among which infection by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is of major importance. The invasion, survival, colonization, and stimulation of further inflammation within the gastric mucosa are possible due to several evasive mechanisms induced by the virulence factors that are expressed by the bacterium. The knowledge concerning the mechanisms of H. pylori pathogenicity is crucial to ameliorate eradication strategies preventing the possible induction of carcinogenesis. This review highlights the current state of knowledge and the most recent findings regarding H. pylori virulence factors and their relationship with gastric premalignant lesions and further carcinogenesis.

ABSTRACTHelicobacter pyloriinfection is associated with gastritis and gastric cancer. AnH. pylorivirulence factor, thecagpathogenicity island (PAI), is related to host cell cytokine induction and gastric inflammation. Since elucidation of the mechanisms of inflammation is important for therapy, the associations between cytokines and inflammatory diseases have been investigated vigorously. Levels of interleukin-32 (IL-32), a recently described inflammatory cytokine, are increased in various inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease, and in malignancies, including gastric cancer. In this report, we examined IL-32 expression in human gastric disease. We also investigated the function of IL-32 in activation of the inflammatory cytokines in gastritis. IL-32 expression paralleled human gastric tissue pathology, with low IL-32 expression inH. pylori-uninfected gastric mucosa and higher expression levels in gastritis and gastric cancer tissues.H. pyloriinfection increased IL-32 expression in human gastric epithelial cell lines.H. pylori-induced IL-32 expression was dependent on the bacterialcagPAI genes and on activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB). IL-32 expression induced byH. pyloriwas not detected in the supernatant of AGS cells but was found in the cytosol. Expression of theH. pylori-induced cytokines CXCL1, CXCL2, and IL-8 was decreased in IL-32-knockdown AGS cell lines compared to a control AGS cell line. We also found that NF-κB activation was decreased inH. pylori-infected IL-32-knockdown cells. These results suggest that IL-32 has important functions in the regulation of cytokine expression inH. pylori-infected gastric mucosa.

Abstract Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) has an essential role to recruit ubiquitinated proteins to transport to aggresomes, which ultimately induces lysosomal protein degradation. We have shown that inhibition of proteasomes with bortezomib and of aggresomes with HDAC6 inhibitor Tubacin demonstrated significant cytotoxicity in MM cell lines and MM patient tumor cells in vitro (Hideshima T et al., PNAS2005, 102: 8597–8572). In this study, we further examined the biologic significance of HDAC6 inhibition by Tubacin in MM cells. We found that HDAC6 is constitutively associated with heat shock protein (Hsp) 90 in MM cell lines which is enhanced by Tubacin, as evidenced by co-immunoprecipitation. Since Akt and STAT3 have been shown to play important role in proliferation, anti-apoptosis, and drug resistance in MM cells; and all are client proteins of Hsp90, we next further examined whether inhibition of HDAC6 could modulate activities of these proteins via Hsp90. Importantly, Tubacin enhanced phosphorylation of Akt, associated with augmentation of Hsp90 acetylation. Hsp90 inhibitor 17-AAG downregulated Akt phosphorylation associated with enhanced interaction of Hsp90 with Akt, which was partially blocked by Tubacin. On the other hand, 17-AAG did not enhance acetylation of α-tubulin or ubiquitination of proteins, suggesting that Hsp90 does not affect HDAC6 function. Furthermore, we found that STAT3 is also constitutively associated with Hsp90. Importantly, both Tubacin and 17-AAG inhibit phosphorylation of STAT3 in a dose- and time-dependent fashion in MM cells. Taken together, our data indicate that HDAC6 has an important role not only in aggresomal protein degradation, but also in MM cell pathogenesis by modulating Akt and STAT3 signaling cascades via Hsp90 acetylation in MM cells.

ObjectiveHelicobacter pylori is the strongest risk factor for gastric cancer; however, the majority of infected individuals do not develop disease. Pathological outcomes are mediated by complex interactions among bacterial, host and environmental constituents, and two dietary factors linked with gastric cancer risk are iron deficiency and high salt. We hypothesised that prolonged adaptation of H. pylori to in vivo carcinogenic microenvironments results in genetic modification important for disease.DesignWhole genome sequencing of genetically related H. pylori strains that differ in virulence and targeted H. pylori sequencing following prolonged exposure of bacteria to in vitro carcinogenic conditions were performed.ResultsA total of 180 unique single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified among the collective genomes when compared with a reference H. pylori genome. Importantly, common SNPs were identified in isolates harvested from iron-depleted and high salt carcinogenic microenvironments, including an SNP within fur (FurR88H). To investigate the direct role of low iron and/or high salt, H. pylori was continuously cultured in vitro under low iron or high salt conditions to assess fur genetic variation. Exposure to low iron or high salt selected for the FurR88H variant after only 5 days. To extend these results, fur was sequenced in 339 clinical H. pylori strains. Among the isolates examined, 17% (40/232) of strains isolated from patients with premalignant lesions harboured the FurR88H variant, compared with only 6% (6/107) of strains from patients with non-atrophic gastritis alone (p=0.0034).ConclusionThese results indicate that specific genetic variation arises within H. pylori strains during in vivo adaptation to conditions conducive for gastric carcinogenesis.

Objective. The clinical outcomes of gastric diseases such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer have been attributed to the interplay of virulence factors of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), host genetic susceptibility, and host immune responses. This study investigated the presence of cagA, vacA, iceA2, babA2, and oipA genes and their association with clinical outcomes. Methods. Chronic gastritis, atrophic gastritis, and intestinal metaplasia specimens were obtained from patients who underwent endoscopy and surgical resection between January 2017 and December 2018; specimens from gastric cancer patients treated between January 2014 and December 2018 were also added. H. pylori infection and virulence genes (cagA, vacA, iceA2, babA2, and oipA) were determined using real-time PCR. The association between H. pylori genotypes and clinical outcomes were evaluated using multivariate regression model analysis. The overall survival of gastric cancer patients was compared between genotype combinations. Results. H. pylori was positive in 166 patients with chronic gastritis, precancerous gastric lesions, and gastric cancer. The genes vacA, babA2, and oipA were most prevalent in chronic gastritis (73%), precancerous gastric lesions (62%), and gastric cancer (91%), respectively. The vacA, babA2, and oipA genes were associated with increased risk of gastric cancer (OR = 1.23; 95% CI = 1.13–3.32; P=0.033, OR = 2.64; 95% CI = 1.44–4.82, P=0.024, and OR = 2.79; 95% CI = 1.58–5.41; P=0.031, respectively). Interestingly, H. pylori vacA+/babA2+/oipA+ genotype infection was associated with increased risk of gastric cancer (OR = 3.85, 95% CI = 1.67–5.77, P=0.014). Conclusion. In this present study, we reported on the virulence genes of H. pylori infection to reveal their association with increased risk of chronic gastritis, precancerous gastric lesions, and gastric cancer. Precancerous gastric lesions with H. pylori vacA+/babA2+/oipA+ genotype increased the risk of gastric cancer.
