Genomová nestabilita spojená se vznikem RNA:DNA hybridů a mechanismy jejího potlačení / Genomic instability associated with formation of RNA:DNA hybrids and molecular mechanisms of its suppression

One of the most common infections of a human organism is an infection of stomach induced by pathogenic bacteria Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). It is estimated that every second person is infected, with even higher prevalence in developing countries. As a quiet enemy, H. pylori can colonise a human stomach for decades without manifestation of infection-associated symptoms. However, chronic infection may cause severe damage to the stomach tissue, subsequently leading to the development of gastric diseases, including gastritis and ulcer disease. H. pylori infection is also a driving cause of gastric cancer, with 80% of gastric cancers being associated with chronic infection. H. pylori ensures its life-long persistence in a human host organism via the action of its virulence factors, which have a pleiotropic effect on multiple systems, mostly acting on the attenuation of a human immune system and the induction of atrophy of stomach tissue. The irreversible changes of stomach epithelium are induced by activation of an innate immune response in H. pylori-exposed epithelial cells through the stimulation of ALPK1/TIFA/NF-κB signalling pathway upon a recognition of β-ADP heptose, an intermediate product of bacterial lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis, and consequently leading to the formation of DNA...
