Abstract
AIM: To study the expression of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) in gastric mucosa infected with H. pylori.
METHODS: Semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot were used to examine the mRNA and protein expression of PDI, respectively, in human gastric mucosa with or without H. pylori infection (n = 32 or 28).
RESULTS: The expression amounts of PDI mRNA and protein were 0.5704 ± 0.0794 and 0.5198 ± 0.0379 in the mucosa without H. pylori infection, which were significantly lower than those in the ones with H. pylori infection (1.0642 ± 0.1533, 0.8252 ± 0.0321, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION: H. pylori infection can increase the transcription of PDI mRNA and synthesis of PDI protein in gastric mucosa.
