Role of Inflammatory Monocytes in Vaccine-Induced Reduction of Helicobacter felis Infection.

چکیده
Despite the proven ability of immunization to reduce Helicobacter infection in mouse models, the precise mechanism of protection has remained elusive. In this study, we evaluated the role of inflammatory monocytes in the vaccine-induced reduction of Helicobacter felis infection. We first showed by using flow cytometric analysis that Ly6C(low) major histocompatibility complex class II-positive chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2)-positive CD64(+) inflammatory monocytes accumulate in the stomach mucosa during the vaccine-induced reduction of H. felis infection. To determine whether inflammatory monocytes played a role in the protection, these cells were depleted with anti-CCR2 depleting antibodies. Indeed, depletion of inflammatory monocytes was associated with an impaired vaccine-induced reduction of H. felis infection on day 5 postinfection. To determine whether inflammatory monocytes had a direct or indirect role, we studied their antimicrobial activities. We observed that inflammatory monocytes produced tumor necrosis factor alpha and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), two major antimicrobial factors. Lastly, by using a Helicobacter in vitro killing assay, we showed that mouse inflammatory monocytes and activated human monocytes killed H. pylori in an iNOS-dependent manner. Collectively, these data show that inflammatory monocytes play a direct role in the immunization-induced reduction of H. felis infection from the gastric mucosa.

متن کاملPost-immunisation gastritis and Helicobacter infection in the mouse: a long term study.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Helicobacter pylori is a major cause of peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. Vaccine development is progressing but there is concern that immunisation may exacerbate Helicobacter induced gastritis: prophylactic immunisation followed by challenge with H felis or H pylori can induce a more severe gastritis in mice than seen with infection alone. The aim of this study was to inves...

متن کاملTh1-Mediated Immunity against Helicobacter pylori Can Compensate for Lack of Th17 Cells and Can Protect Mice in the Absence of Immunization
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection can be significantly reduced by immunization in mice. Th17 cells play an essential role in the protective immune response. Th1 immunity has also been demonstrated to play a role in the protective immune response and can compensate in the absence of IL-17. To further address the potential of Th1 immunity, we investigated the efficacy of immunization in m...
