BackgroundHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is associated with the development of gastric cancer, although the mechanism is unclear. Herein, this study aimed to clarify the key genes and signaling pathways involved in H. pylori pathogenesis based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and RNA sequencing analysis.Materials and MethodsForty-nine gastric cancer samples (16 with H. pylori and 33 without H. pylori) and 35 cancer-adjacent normal samples from TCGA database were analyzed by bioinformatics. The differentially expressed genes between H. pylori-positive and H. pylori-negative patients were verified in 18 gastric cancer (GC) samples (9 with H. pylori and 9 without H. pylori), which were analyzed using RNA sequencing. Survival analysis was carried out to explore associations between the differentially expressed genes and prognosis. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to determine the signaling pathways associated with H. pylori.ResultsThe baseline level of clinical features from TCGA database and RNA sequencing showed no differences between the H. pylori-positive and H. pylori-negative GC groups (P>0.05). TP53 was shown to be upregulated in the H. pylori-positive group in both TCGA database and RNA sequencing data, which also showed higher expression in the GC tissues than in adjacent normal tissues (P
