H. pylori alters cellular homeostasis during infection. H. pylori colonization of the human stomach is responsible for aberrant activation of multiple oncogenic pathways, induction of DNA damage, disruption of the epithelial barrier, and modulation of the host immune response. CagA, VacA, and other virulence factors play a key role in these processes [22,25,26].
