| Abstract |
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is one of the major risk factors of stomach cancer. Strains carrying the oncogenic cytotoxin CagA (cytotoxin-associated gene A) induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and contribute to tumor progression and metastasis. However, the mechanism in which CagA induces EMT has not been defined. In this study, using genetic methods in Drosophila, we identified Semaphorin 5A (SEMA5A) as a new target for CagA. We showed that infection with CagA-positive H. pylori downregulated the expression level of SEMA5A to induce expression of EMT-driving transcription factor Snail and mesenchymal marker N-cadherin, and promote invasive behavior in gastric epithelial cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated that transient over-expression of SEMA5A in H. pylori-infected cells inhibited CagA-mediated gain of mesenchymal phenotype. These results suggest that SEMA5A could be a key mediator of EMT and gastric carcinogenesis caused by CagA-positive H. pylori infection.
