Summary: | (
) is the strongest known risk for gastric cancer. The
type IV secretion system is an oncogenic locus that translocates peptidoglycan into host cells, where it is recognized by NOD1, an innate immune receptor. Beyond this, the role of NOD1 in
-induced cancer remains undefined. To address this knowledge gap, we infected two genetic models of Nod1 deficiency with the
strain PMSS1: C57BL/6 mice, which rarely develop cancer, and INS-GAS FVB/N mice, which commonly develop cancer. Infected C57BL/6
and INS-GAS
mice acutely developed more severe gastritis, and INS-GAS
mice developed gastric dysplasia more frequently compared with
mice. Because

mice led to significantly increased gastric mucosal levels of Th1, Th17, and Th2 cytokines compared with Nod1 wild-type (WT) mice. To define the role of specific innate immune cells, we quantified cytokine secretion from
-infected primary gastric organoids generated from WT or
mice that were cocultured with or without WT or
macrophages. Infection increased cytokine production from gastric epithelial cells and macrophages and elevations were significantly increased with Nod1 deficiency. Furthermore,
infection altered the polarization status of
macrophages compared with
macrophages. Collectively, these studies demonstrate that loss of Nod1 augments inflammatory and injury responses to

infection. |
