Seropositivity for Helicobacter pylori and hepatobiliary cancers in the PLCO study.

ABSTRACT: Helicobacter has been suggested to play a possible role in hepatitis, gallstones, and hepatobiliary tumours. We assessed whether seropositivity to 15 H. pylori proteins was associated with subsequent incidence of 74 biliary tract and 105 liver cancer cases vs. 357 matched controls in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial (PLCO). Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were computed by conditional logistic regression after adjustment for known hepatobiliary cancer risk factors. H. pylori seropositivity was not associated with either biliary tract (1.76, 0.90-3.46) or liver cancer (0.87, 0.46-1.65). CagA seropositivity was associated with both endpoints, although the latter association was not statistically significant (biliary tract: 2.16, 1.03-4.50; liver cancer: 1.96, 0.98-3.93) and neither association was statistically significant after correcting for multiple comparisons. Together, these results suggest possible associations between H. pylori and hepatobiliary cancer and suggest the value of future studies investigating the association.Trial registration number: NCT00339495.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study delves into the association between dietary niacin intake and Helicobacter pylori seropositivity, a topic gaining prominence in academic discourse. However, the precise role of Niacin in the development and progression of Helicobacter pylori seropositivity remains inadequately understood. Thus, this research aims to investigate the connections between H. pylori seropositivity and dietary niacin intake using a nationally representative sample of adults.MethodsA cross-sectional analysis encompassed 4,000 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted in the United States between 1999 and 2000, all aged 20 years or older. The study employed the generalized additive model (GAM) and multivariate logistic regression to explore the potential relationship between niacin intake and Helicobacter pylori seropositivity. Subgroup analyses were performed based on gender, age, diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipemia.ResultsAnalyzing cross-sectional data from NHANES 1999-2000 involving individuals aged 20 years and above revealed that out of 4,000 participants, 1,842 tested positive for H. pylori via serology. Multivariate analyses unveiled a significant inverse correlation between niacin intake and H. pylori seropositivity. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for dietary niacin intake in quartiles Q2 (13.31-19.26 mg/d), Q3 (19.27-27.42 mg/d), and Q4 (>27.42 mg/d) compared to Q1 (<13.31 mg/d) were 0.83 (95% CI: 0.69-1.01), 0.74 (95% CI: 0.61-0.90), and 0.66 (95% CI: 0.54-0.81), respectively. Moreover, a nonlinear L-shaped relationship (P = 0.022) emerged between niacin intake and H. pylori seropositivity, indicating minimal risk of H. pylori infection at approximately 44.69 mg of niacin per day in the diet.ConclusionThis study suggests a potential link between increased dietary niacin intake and reduced prevalence of Helicobacter pylori seropositivity. This correlation is bolstered by plausible mechanisms involving immunomodulatory function, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellular oxidative stress.
