Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced gut toxicity is a major clinical and economic burden to oncology practice. The mechanisms responsible for its development are ill defined, hampering the development of therapeutic interventions. In light of newly published research foci and clinical practice guidelines in supportive care in cancer, there has been renewed interest in the role tight junctions play in the pathobiology of chemotherapy-induced gut toxicity. Several preclinical studies have identified molecular defects in intestinal tight junctions following chemotherapy. Despite these findings, the mechanisms responsible for chemotherapy-induced tight junction disruption remain unclear. Recent research has highlighted roles for toll-like receptor 4 and protein kinase C signalling in the regulation of tight junctions. This critical review therefore aims to provide evidence linking toll-like receptor 4 expression, protein kinase C activation and tight junction disruption and their relationship to clinical toxicity.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori, a class I carcinogen, induces a proinflammatory response by activating the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in gastric epithelial cells. This inflammatory condition could lead to chronic gastritis, which is epidemiologically and biologically linked to the development of gastric cancer. So far, there exists no clear knowledge on how H. pylori induces the NF-κB-mediated inflammatory response. In our study, we investigated the role of Ca(2+) /calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CAMKII), calmodulin, protein kinases C (PKCs) and the CARMA3-Bcl10-MALT1 (CBM) complex in conjunction with H. pylori-induced activation of NF-κB via the inhibitor of nuclear factor-kappa B kinase (IKK) complex. We use specific inhibitors and/or RNA interference to assess the contribution of these components. Our results show that CAMKII and calmodulin contribute to IKK complex activation and thus to the induction of NF-κB in response to H. pylori infection, but not in response to TNF-α. Thus, our findings are specific for H. pylori infected cells. Neither the PKCs α, δ, θ, nor the CBM complex itself is involved in the activation of NF-κB by H. pylori. The contribution of CAMKII and calmodulin, but not PKCs/CBM to the induction of an inflammatory response by H. pylori infection augment the understanding of the molecular mechanism involved and provide potential new disease markers for the diagnosis of gastric inflammatory diseases including gastric cancer.

Abstract
Many cellular responses to Ca(2+) signals are mediated by Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent enzymes, among which is the Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). CaMKII was originally described in rat brain tissue. In rat brain, four different subunits of the kinase have been identified: α, β, γ, and δ. This study aims to investigate changes of CaMKIIδ after traumatic brain injury and its possible role. Rat traumatic brain injury (TBI) model was established by controlled cortical injury system. In the present study, we mainly investigated the expression and cellular localization of CaMKIIδ after traumatic brain injury. Western blot analysis revealed that CaMKIIδ was present in normal rat brain cortex. It gradually increased, reached a peak at the third day after TBI, and then decreased. Importantly, more CaMKIIδ was colocalized with neuron. In addition, Western blot detection showed that the third day postinjury was also the apoptosis peak indicated by the elevated expression of caspase-3.Importantly, immunohistochemistry analysis revealed that injury-induced expression of CaMKIIδ was colabeled by caspase-3 (apoptosis cells marker). Moreover, pretreatment with the CaMKII inhibitor (KN62) reduced the injury-induced activation of caspase-3. Noticeably, the CaMKII inhibitor KN-62 could reduce TBI-induced cell injury assessed with lesion volume and attenuate behavioral outcome evaluated by motor test. These data suggested that CaMKIIδ may be implicated in the apoptosis of neuron and the recovery of neurological outcomes. However, the inherent mechanisms remained unknown. Further studies are needed to confirm the exact role of CaMKIIδ after brain injury.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is the strongest known risk factor for gastric adenocarcinoma, yet only a fraction of infected persons develop cancer. One H. pylori constituent that augments disease risk is the cytotoxin-associated gene (cag) pathogenicity island, which encodes a secretion system that translocates bacterial effector molecules into host cells. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-7, a member of a family of enzymes with tumor-initiating properties, is overexpressed in premalignant and malignant gastric lesions, and H. pylori cag(+) strains selectively increase MMP-7 protein levels in gastric epithelial cells in vitro and in vivo. We now report that H. pylori-mediated mmp-7 induction is transcriptionally regulated via aberrant activation of p120-catenin (p120), a component of adherens junctions. H. pylori increases mmp-7 mRNA levels in a cag- and p120-dependent manner and induces translocation of p120 to the nucleus in vitro and in a novel ex vivo gastric gland culture system. Nuclear translocation of p120 in response to H. pylori relieves Kaiso-mediated transcriptional repression of mmp-7, which is implicated in tumorigenesis. These results indicate that selective and coordinated induction of mmp-7 expression by H. pylori cag(+) isolates may explain in part the augmentation in gastric cancer risk associated with these strains.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori was reported to be an important risk factor for the carcinogenesis of gastric cancer. Here, we used a proteomic approach to find differentially expressed proteins between the normal and tumor tissue of gastric cancer patients infected with H. pylori. In our results, we found annexin A4 was over-expressed in patients infected with H. pylori and was found in tumor cells, and over-expressed in gastric cancer SCM-1 cells after H. pylori infection. Ca(2+ ) can be induced by H. pylori and interact with annexin A4 Ca(2+) binding site to block the calmodulin-activated chloride conductance activation; therefore, it produces a new environment that benefits the malignant existence of H. pylori and raises the risk for gastric cancer. We also found interleuken-8 (IL-8) expression levels were increased in H. pylori infected SCM-1 cells. Combined with previous reports and our results, we summarize that the over-expression of annexin A4 in SCM-1 cells with H. pylori infection may subsequently induce IL-8 which can further cause tumor angiogenesis. In this paper, we show that annexin A4 is a potential novel molecular marker for gastric cancer with H. pylori infection, and our results may provide a new insight in the development of new anti-cancer drugs.

Abstract
We examined the kinetics of IL-8 production and CagA status in AGS infected with Helicobacter pylori, 26695 (Western CagA-type), HPK5 (Eastern CagA-type) and isogenic cagA-disrupted mutants, exposed to different pH (pH 6 and pH 3). IL-8 was produced in the early and late phases after infection in CagA-dependent and -independent manners, respectively, irrespective of CagA-type. The wild-type exposed to low pH tremendously reduced IL-8 level at early phase, but restored with urea, suggesting that low pH exerted the kinetics of H. pylori-induced IL-8 production in CagA-dependent manner and urea was necessary for effective induction. CagA and phosphorylated CagA increased time-dependently after infection. Phosphorylated CagA from 26695, but not HPK5, rapidly peaked, consistent with the kinetics of IL-8 induction and appearance of hummingbird phenotype. ATF3 transcripts peaked late phase by wild-type, however, induced in two peaks early and late phases by cagA-disrupted mutants, indicating that different CagA-type proteins altered ATF3 induction in the infected cells.

Abstract
Bacterial pathogens have developed a diversity of strategies to interact with host cells, manipulate their behaviors, and thus to survive and propagate. During the process of pathogenesis, phosphorylation of proteins on hydroxyl amino acids (serine, threonine, tyrosine) occurs at different stages, including cell-cell interaction and adherence, translocation of bacterial effectors into host cells, and changes in host cellular structure and function induced by infection. The phosphorylation reactions are catalyzed in a reversible fashion by specific protein kinases and phosphatases that belong to either the invading bacterial cells or the infected eukaryotic host cells. Among the various virulence factors involved in bacterial pathogenesis, special attention has been paid recently to the cell wall components, exopolysaccharides. A major breakthrough has been made by showing the existence of a biological link between the activity of certain protein-tyrosine kinases/phosphatases and the production and/or transport of surface polysaccharides. In addition, genetic studies have revealed a key role played by some serine/threonine kinases in pathogenesis. Considering the structural organization and membrane topology of these different kinases, it can be envisaged that they operate as one-component systems in signal transduction pathways, in the form of single proteins containing input and output domains on the same polypeptide chain. From a general standpoint, the demonstration of a direct relationship between protein phosphorylation on serine/threonine/tyrosine and bacterial virulence represents a novel concept of great importance in deciphering the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie pathogenesis.
