Helicobacter pylori (Hp) has been classified as a class I carcinogen in gastric cancer, and one of the important mechanisms by which it affects the gastric environment and promotes cancerogenesis is by triggering inflammation.Inflammatory responses caused by Hp's 'crosstalk' with various types of cells in the microenvironment of the gastric tumour play a key role in cancer progression, but the exact mechanism of its 'crosstalk' is still unclear. This paper focuses on the regulatory impact of Hp infection on the tumor microenvironment, systematically explores the activation process of immune stromal cells such as tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and myeloid-derived suppressor cells by directly or indirectly promoting the secretion of inflammatory factors by Hp, and analyzes the molecular mechanism of these cells that influence the occurrence and development of gastric cancer through multiple signal pathways, in order to provide innovative theoretical basis for the development of accurate prevention and treatment strategies for Hp infection-related gastric cancer.
幽门螺杆菌(Hp)已被列为胃癌的I类致癌物,其影响胃环境并促进癌变的重要机制之一是引发炎症。Hp与胃肿瘤微环境中各类细胞的“串扰”所引起的炎症反应在癌症进展中起关键作用,但其“串扰”的确切机制仍不清楚。本文聚焦于Hp感染对肿瘤微环境的调节作用,系统探讨Hp通过直接或间接促进炎症因子分泌对肿瘤相关巨噬细胞(TAMs)、癌症相关成纤维细胞(CAFs)、间充质干细胞(MSCs)和髓系来源抑制细胞等免疫基质细胞的激活过程,并分析这些细胞通过多种信号通路影响胃癌发生发展的分子机制,以期为制定精准的Hp感染相关胃癌防治策略提供创新性理论依据。
