Abstract:Objective To study the role of helicobacter pylori (Hp) in regulating the invasion and of gastric cancer cells angiogenesis factors through Wnt/β-catenin pathway.Methods Gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 were divided into control group, Hp group, and Hp+ICG-001 group. The control group was treated with DMEM without bacteria and drugs, Hp group was treated with DMEM containing Hp and Hp+ICG-001 was treated with DMEM containing Hp and Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor ICG-001. The expression of Wnt1, Wnt3a, β-catenin, MMP-7, N-cadherin, and E-cadherin were measured by Western blotting, the number of invasion was measured by Transwell, and the contents of VEGF, bFGF, Ang-2 were measured by ELISA.Results Compared with Hp-negative gastric cancer, the mRNA expression of Wnt1, Wnt3a, β-catenin, MMP-7, N-cadherin, VEGF, bFGF, and Ang-2 in Hp-positive gastric cancer significantly increased, while that of E-cadherin significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The expression of Wnt1, Wnt3a, β-catenin, MMP-7, N-cadherin, invasion number, the contents of VEGF, bFGF, Ang-2 in Hp group were higher than those in control group, and the expression of E-cadherin was lower than that in control group (P < 0.05); the expression of Wnt1, Wnt3a, β-catenin, MMP-7, N-cadherin, invasion number, the contents of VEGF, bFGF, Ang-2 in Hp+ICG-001 group were lower than those in Hp group, and the expression of E-cadherin was higher than that in Hp group (P < 0.05).Conclusion Hp can promote the invasion of gastric cancer cells and angiogenesis factor production through Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
