    Abstract:
    AIMS: Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection plays an important role in the development of gastric cancer. Hp can secrete gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), however, the impact of GGT of Hp on the human gastric cells is not clear. Although it has been demonstrated that ten-eleven translocation 1 (TET1) is overexpressed in gastric cancer, the relationship between the GGT of Hp and TET1 has not been studied. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between GGT and TET1, and the role of TET1 in the development of gastric cancer induced by Hp was also explored. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The correlation between TET1 and prognosis of gastric adenoma cancer was analyzed by bioinformatics. The GGT gene of Hp26695 was knocked out by electroporation with plasmid to construct the GGT knockout strain of Hp (Hp-KS-1). The shTET1 lentivirus transfected GES-1, MGC-803 and SGC-7901 cell lines were constructed. The biological characteristics of the three kind of cells were detected. KEY FINDINGS: TET1 was overexpressed in gastric tissues of Hp infected patients and mice. Bioinformatics analysis showed that in patients with gastric cancer, higher TET1 expression would result in poorer prognosis. The GGT gene of Hp can lead to overexpression of TET1 in GES-1, MGC-803 and SGC-7901 cells, along with the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and then promoting tumorigenesis. After silencing TET1, the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway which was activated by GGT of Hp was inhibited. SIGNIFICANCE: GGT of Helicobacter pylori can promote gastric carcinogenesis by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway trough up-regulating TET1.
