Research progress on Helicobacter pylori infection related neurological diseases

Fan Wang et al. Ageing Res Rev. 2024 Aug.

Abstract

Helicobacter pylori, a type of gram-negative bacterium, infects roughly half of the global population. It is strongly associated with gastrointestinal disorders like gastric cancer, peptic ulcers, and chronic gastritis. Moreover, numerous studies have linked this bacterium to various extra-gastric conditions, including hematologic, cardiovascular, and neurological issues. Specifically, research has shown that Helicobacter pylori interacts with the brain through the microbiota-gut-brain axis, thereby increasing the risk of neurological disorders. The inflammatory mediators released by Helicobacter pylori-induced chronic gastritis may disrupt the function of the blood-brain barrier by interfering with the transmission or direct action of neurotransmitters. This article examines the correlation between Helicobacter pylori and a range of conditions, such as hyperhomocysteinemia, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, ischemic stroke, multiple sclerosis, migraine, and Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Keywords: Alzheimer's disease; Helicobacter pylori; Parkinson's disease; The microbiota-gut-brain axis.
