Introduction:
Many pathogens have coexisted with humans for millennia and can cause chronic inflammation which is the cause of gastritis. Gastric cancer (GC) is associated with 8.8% of cancer related deaths, making it one of the leading causes of cancer related deaths worldwide. This review is intended to give brief information about Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) role in GC and associated kinases. These organisms can trigger multiple cellular pathways aiming for unnatural cellular proliferation, apoptosis, migration and inflammatory response. Kinases also can activate and deactivate the signalling leading to aforementioned pathways. Therefore, studying kinases is inevitable.
Material And Methods:
This review is the comprehensive collection of information from different data sources such as journals, book, book chapters and verified online information.
Conclusion:
Kinase amplifications could be used as diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers in various cancer types. Hence targeting kinase and related signalling molecules could be considered as a potential approach to prevent cancer through these organisms. Here we summarize the brief information about the role of kinases, signalling and their therapeutics in GC concerning H. pylori, EBV and HCMV.
