Abstract
Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) and exosomes are essential mediators of host-pathogen interactions. Elucidating their mechanisms of action offers valuable insights into diagnosing and treating infectious diseases and cancers. However, the specific interactions of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) with host cells via OMVs and exosomes in modulating host immune responses have not been thoroughly investigated. This review explores how these vesicles elicit inflammatory and immunosuppressive responses in the host environment, facilitate pathogen invasion of host cells, and enable evasion of host defenses, thereby contributing to the progression of gastric diseases and extra-gastric diseases disseminated through the bloodstream. Furthermore, the review discusses the challenges and future directions for investigating OMVs and exosomes, underscoring their potential as therapeutic targets in H. pylori-associated diseases.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Immunology is a leading journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across basic, translational and clinical immunology. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide.
Frontiers in Immunology is the official Journal of the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS). Encompassing the entire field of Immunology, this journal welcomes papers that investigate basic mechanisms of immune system development and function, with a particular emphasis given to the description of the clinical and immunological phenotype of human immune disorders, and on the definition of their molecular basis.
