Abstract
Introduction: Helicobacter pylori infection is the main risk factor for gastric cancer. Chronic inflammation is usually induced by H. pylori infection and is accompanied by inherent immune disorders. However, the dynamic changes in the host immune response associated with the transition from normal to metaplasia, dysplasia, and gastric cancer are largely undefined.
Method: We established the H. pylori induced gastric cancer mice model. The gastric mucosa of H. pylori infected mice were subjected to RNA-sequencing analysis at different stages. We analyzed systemic immune disturbances in the spleen and changes in serum inflammatory cytokines during gastric cancer development, including gastritis, premalignant lesions (pre-gastric cancer), and gastric cancer stages.
Results: RNA-sequencing analysis of the gastric mucosa of H. pylori infected mice highlighted the important role of immune-associated pathways (especially inflammatory pathways) during gastric cancer development. Immune cell proportion analysis revealed the stage-dependent involvement of key immune cell types, including increased Th17 cells in early gastritis and pre-gastric cancer stages and decreased central memory CD4+ and CD8+ T cells during gastric cancer transition. Serum inflammatory cytokine analysis showed that IL-6 and IL-10 levels significantly increased, whereas IL-23 levels decreased during the gastric cancer stage.
Conclusion: In summary, we illustrated systemic immune disturbances in the spleen and changes in serum inflammatory cytokines during gastric cancer development. Th17 cells were involved in early gastritis and premalignant processes, while central memory T cells participated in gastric cancer transition. Our findings provide valuable insights into identifying key inflection points and associated biomarkers for the early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of gastric cancer.
期刊介绍：
Clinical & Experimental Immunology (established in 1966) is an authoritative international journal publishing high-quality research studies in translational and clinical immunology that have the potential to transform our understanding of the immunopathology of human disease and/or change clinical practice.
The journal is focused on translational and clinical immunology and is among the foremost journals in this field, attracting high-quality papers from across the world. Translation is viewed as a process of applying ideas, insights and discoveries generated through scientific studies to the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of human disease. Clinical immunology has evolved as a field to encompass the application of state-of-the-art technologies such as next-generation sequencing, metagenomics and high-dimensional phenotyping to understand mechanisms that govern the outcomes of clinical trials.
