Figure 6. hcpC and hcpG are transcriptionally uncoupled, and do not affect hspB or ureB expression during H. pylori infection of AGS cells.
(a) Fold change in hspB expression levels 3 and 6 h after infection with WT and hcp mutant bacteria. (b) Fold change in ureB expression levels 3 h and 6 h after infection with WT and hcp mutant bacteria. A P>0.1 (not significant) was observed using a one-way ANOVA test in comparisons of observed differences. (c) Fold change in hcpC expression levels in the ΔhcpG mutant of G27MA and in hcpG expression levels in the ΔhcpC mutant 3 and 6 h after infection. A P>0.1 (not significant) was observed using a one-way ANOVA test in comparisons of observed differences.
