Protein Kinase C Activation by Helicobacter pylori in Human Gastric Epithelial Cells Limits Interleukin-8 Production Through Suppression of Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection of gastric epithelial cells has been shown to induce interleukin (IL)-8 production, but the signal transduction mechanism leading to IL-8 production has not been clearly defined. Here, we investigate the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in the mechanism of ind...
