Helicobacter pylori cagL amino acid polymorphism D58E59 pave the way toward peptic ulcer disease while N58E59 is associated with gastric cancer in north of Iran.
Microbial Pathogenesis 2017 June
The cagL protein of Helicobacter pylori involving in pathogenesis of gastroduodenal disorders. Therefore, the current study was conducted to determine the cagL amino acid polymorphisms in patients with gastric diseases. One hundred gastric biopsies were collected from gastritis, peptic ulcer (PUD) and gastric cancer (GC) patients and were screened for cagL using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Also, sequence variations of the cagL were assessed via sequence translation. The cagL geneopositivity was 71.6% in patients were infected with H. pylori. The cagL from PUD indicated a higher rate of D58 amino acid sequence polymorphism than those of the GC and gastritis (P < 0.05). The D58 polymorphism showed an increased risk of PUD up to 6.5-fold (95% CI: 1.2-35.7). This position was occupied with amino acid N58 in GC. The E59 polymorphism was more frequently found in PUD and GC than gastritis patients. Additionally, presence of Q62 and N122 significantly observed in PUD and GC, whereas I60 was detected in PUD patients. Our results demonstrated that presence of the D, I, Q and N at position 58, 60, 62 and 122, respectively increased the risk of peptic ulcer. However, amino acid N, M, Q and N at the same position alongside V134 increased the risk of gastric cancer.
