The family of epidermal growth factor (EGF, EGFR, c-erbB-2) plays a pivotal role in gastric cancer progression, invasion and metastasizing. Helicobacter pylori infection is known to contribute significantly to the formation and progression of gastric cancer. However, the mechanisms responsible for this process have not been yet elucidated. We analysed the relationship between H. pylori infection and expression of proteins belonging to the family of epidermal growth factor (EGF, EGFR, c-erbB-2). Fifty-five patients with gastric cancer were analysed for Helicobacter pylori infection. The expressions of EGF, EGFR, c-erbB-2 proteins were determined using an immunohistochemical method. No statistically significant correlation was found between the degree of H. pylori infection and the expressions of EGF, EGFR and c-erbB-2 in gastric cancer. However, c-erbB-2 expression in the main mass of tumour correlated with tumour expression of EGF and EGFR and with c-erbB-2 expression in local lymph nodes. The expression of c-erbB-2 in lymph nodes was statistically significantly related to the expressions of EGF and EGFR both in the main mass of tumour and in lymph nodes. The expression of EGF was found to correlate with EGFR in the main mass of tumour and the expression of EGF in lymph nodes was related to lymph node EGFR level. Our study did not confirm the relationship between H. pylori infection and the expression of epidermal growth factor in gastric cancer.

D004815 Epidermal Growth Factor A 6-kDa polypeptide growth factor initially discovered in mouse submaxillary glands. Human epidermal growth factor was originally isolated from urine based on its ability to inhibit gastric secretion and called urogastrone. Epidermal growth factor exerts a wide variety of biological effects including the promotion of proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal and EPITHELIAL CELLS. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form.

D016480 Helicobacter pylori A spiral bacterium active as a human gastric pathogen. It is a gram-negative, urease-positive, curved or slightly spiral organism initially isolated in 1982 from patients with lesions of gastritis or peptic ulcers in Western Australia. Helicobacter pylori was originally classified in the genus CAMPYLOBACTER, but RNA sequencing, cellular fatty acid profiles, growth patterns, and other taxonomic characteristics indicate that the micro-organism should be included in the genus HELICOBACTER. It has been officially transferred to Helicobacter gen. nov. (see Int J Syst Bacteriol 1989 Oct;39(4):297-405).

D016481 Helicobacter Infections Infections with organisms of the genus HELICOBACTER, particularly, in humans, HELICOBACTER PYLORI. The clinical manifestations are focused in the stomach, usually the gastric mucosa and antrum, and the upper duodenum. This infection plays a major role in the pathogenesis of type B gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. Infections, Helicobacter,Helicobacter Infection,Infection, Helicobacter

D018719 Receptor, ErbB-2 A cell surface protein-tyrosine kinase receptor that is overexpressed in a variety of ADENOCARCINOMAS. It has extensive homology to and heterodimerizes with the EGF RECEPTOR, the ERBB-3 RECEPTOR, and the ERBB-4 RECEPTOR. Activation of the erbB-2 receptor occurs through heterodimer formation with a ligand-bound erbB receptor family member.
