The ezrin,radixin,moesin(ERM)protein family plays a pivotal role in cell morphology,migration,and signal transduction.Ezrin,as a prominent member of this family,is highly involved in these processes.Ezrin phosphorylation is particularly crucial,by regulating the interaction between ezrin and the actin cytoskeleton.This interaction is a key mediator of cytotoxicity in host cells infected with Helicobacter pylori,significantly impacting cell morphology.In this review,we comprehensively summarize the multifaceted role of ezrin protein in H.pylori-induced nodular gastritis.We consider the relationships between ezrin's structure,function,signaling pathways,and phosphorylation in the context of nodular gastritis.Moreover,this review highlights the role of ezrin protein as a potential therapeutic target,offering novel insights for the prevention and treatment of nodular gastritis.
