Infection with the gram-negative bacterium Helicobacter pylori is the most prevalent chronic bacterial infection, affecting ~50% of the world's population, and is the main risk factor of gastric cancer. The proinflammatory cytokine IL-1? plays a crucial role in the development of gastric tumors and polymorphisms in the IL-1 gene cluster leading to increased IL-1? production have been associated with increased risk for gastric cancer. To be active, pro-IL-1? must be cleaved by the inflammasome, a...     »
