Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production that contribute to pathogenesis of a variety of H. pylori-related gastric diseases, as shown in animal and human studies. Helicobacter pylori infection is also associated with variety of systemic extragastric diseases in which H. pylori-related ROS production might also be involved in the pathogenesis of these systemic conditions. We proposed that Hp-related ROS may play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of Hp-related systemic diseases including Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma and other relative neurodegenerative diseases, thereby suggesting introduction of relative ROS scavengers as therapeutic strategies against these diseases which are among the leading causes of disability and are associated with a large public health global burden. Moreover, we postulated that H. pylori-related ROS might also be involved in the pathogenesis of extragastric common malignancies, thereby suggesting that H. pylori eradication might inhibit the development or delay the progression of aforementioned diseases. However, large-scale future studies are warranted to elucidate the proposed pathophysiological mechanisms, including H. pylori-related ROS, involved in H. pylori-associated systemic and malignant conditions.
如动物和人体研究所示,幽门螺杆菌(H. pylori)会诱导活性氧(ROS)生成,这与多种幽门螺杆菌相关胃部疾病的发病机制有关。幽门螺杆菌感染还与多种胃外系统性疾病相关,其中幽门螺杆菌相关的ROS生成可能也参与了这些系统性疾病的发病机制。我们提出,与幽门螺杆菌相关的ROS可能在包括阿尔茨海默病、多发性硬化症、青光眼及其他相关神经退行性疾病在内的幽门螺杆菌相关系统性疾病的病理生理学中起关键作用,从而提示引入相关ROS清除剂作为针对这些疾病的治疗策略,这些疾病是导致残疾的主要原因之一,且给全球公共卫生带来沉重负担。此外,我们推测幽门螺杆菌相关的ROS可能也参与胃外常见恶性肿瘤的发病机制,从而提示根除幽门螺杆菌可能抑制上述疾病的发展或延缓其进展。然而,未来有必要开展大规模研究,以阐明所提出的涉及幽门螺杆菌相关系统性和恶性疾病的病理生理机制,包括与幽门螺杆菌相关的ROS。
