“…Other toxins, such as VacA and CagL, as well as Hp components, such as LPS, also contribute to this malignant transformation. Recently, a group reported that Hp can promote GC by activating gastric stem cells . The gastric carcinogenesis initiated by Hp can be partially attributed to changes in signaling pathways, and the most studied pathways are toll‐like receptor‐4 (TLR‐4) and nuclear factor‐κβ (NF‐κB) signaling …”

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common and malignant pathologies, and a significant portion of GC incidences develops from Helicobacter pylori (Hp) ‐induced chronic gastritis. Although the exact mechanisms of GC are complex and poorly understood, gastric carcinogenesis is a good model to investigate how inflammation and infection collaboratively promote tumorigenesis. Yes‐associated protein 1 (YAP1) is the key effector of the Hippo pathway, which is silenced in most human cancers. Herein, we verified the tumor‐promoting effect of YAP1 in vitro, in vivo, and in human specimens. We revealed that YAP1 displays nuclear translocation and works with TEAD to activate transcription of the crucial inflammatory cytokine IL‐1β in gastric cells infected with Hp . As IL‐1ß accounts for inflammation‐associated tumorigenesis, this process can lead to gastric carcinogenesis. Thus, in addition to activating proliferation genes, YAP1 also plays a major role in inflammation amplification by activating inflammatory cytokine genes. Excitingly, our research demonstrates that transfection of mutant plasmid YAP‐5SA/S94A or addition of the drug verteporfin, both of which are thought to disrupt the YAP1‐TEAD interaction, can arrest the carcinogenesis process. These findings can provide new approaches to GC treatment.

“…In addition to local interactions, new research revealed the importance of longer‐range interactions to mediate gland hyperplasia which is a hallmark of H. pylori infection . Lineage tracing in the murine infection model revealed that H. pylori infection accelerates proliferation of an Axin2+ Lgr5‐ progenitor cell near the base of antral glands via induction of R‐spondin in underlying myofibroblasts.…”

In this review, we highlight progress in the last year in characterizing known virulence factors like flagella and the Cag type IV secretion system with sophisticated structural and biochemical approaches to yield new insight on the assembly and functions of these critical virulence determinants. Several aspects of Helicobacter pylori physiology were newly explored this year and evaluated for their functions during stomach colonization, including a fascinating role for the essential protease HtrA in allowing access of H. pylori to the basolateral side of the gastric epithelium through cleavage of the tight junction protein E-cadherin to facilitate CagA delivery. Molecular biology tools standard in model bacteria, including regulated gene expression during animal infection and fluorescent reporter gene fusions, were newly applied to H. pylori to explore functions for urease beyond initial colonization and establish high salt consumption as a mediator of gene expression changes. New sequencing technologies enabled validation of long postulated roles for DNA methylation in regulating H. pylori gene expression. On the cell biology side, elegant work using lineage tracing in the murine model and organoid primary cell culture systems has provided new insights into how H. pylori manipulates gastric tissue functions, locally and at a distance, to promote its survival in the stomach and induce pathologic changes. Finally, new work has bolstered the case for genomic variation as an important mechanism to generate phenotypic diversity during changing environmental conditions in the context of diet manipulation in animal infection models and during human experimental infection after vaccination.

“…It is reasonable to think that, similar to autocrine Rspo3, paracrine Rspo3 may also be involved in the activation of the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway and in the induction of cancer cell EMT and stemness. It has been shown that myofibroblast‐derived Rspo3 is required for the expression of Axin2 and Lgr5 in gastric epithelial stem cells . Moreover, both Wnt ligands and Rspo3 from platelet‐derived growth factor receptor alpha (PdgfRα)‐positive myofibroblasts are required to support the intestinal stem‐cell niche …”

Wnt signaling in human and mouse breast cancer: Focusing on Wnt ligands, receptors and antagonists

Wnt proteins, a group of secreted glycoproteins, mainly combine with receptors Frizzled (FZD) and/or low‐density‐lipoprotein receptor‐related proteins 5/6 (LRP5/6), initiating β‐catenin‐dependent and ‐independent signaling pathways. These pathways, which can be regulated by some secreted antagonists such as secreted Frizzled‐related proteins (SFRP) and dickkopf‐related protein (DKK), play a critical role in embryo development and adult homeostasis. Overactivation of Wnt signaling has been implicated in some human diseases including cancer. Wnt transgenic mice provide convincing evidence that Wnt signaling is involved in breast cancer initiation and progression, which is further strengthened by observations on human clinical breast cancer patients and studies on in vitro cultured human breast cancer cells. This review focuses on the roles of Wnt ligands, receptors and antagonists in breast cancer development instead of molecules or signaling transactivating β‐catenin independent on Wnt upstream components.
