Brief description We will evaluate how a natural protein called gastrokine 2 acts to prevent cancer from developing in the stomach. We will show how gastrokine 2 interacts with another stomach protein TFF1, to block the effects of the inflammatory and cancer causing bacterium Helicobacter pylori, and the way that this bacterium circumvents this by turning off the production of gastrokine 2. Finally a drug which inhibits stomach tumour growth by turning on gastrokine 2 will be tested.
