BACKGROUND Persistent Helicobacter pylori infection confers an increased risk for serious illnesses such as peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. Various cytokines are involved in the regulation of inflammatory immune response in H. pylori-infected gastric mucosa. OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to obtain evidence regarding the association between IL-17, IL-8 and IL-18 expression in peripheral blood and H. pylori infection in Mongolian gerbils. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mongolian gerbils were inoculated with H. pylori by a metal stomach catheter. After sacrifice, their gastric mucosae were examined in macroscopic, histological and electron microscopy levels. In addition, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay was performed on the IL-17, IL-8 and IL-18 cytokines in the blood samples. RESULTS Serum levels of IL-17, IL-8 and IL-18 were remarkably up-regulated compared to those of the control group. There was an obvious correlation between the increase of IL-17 and the serious extent of gastritis in the current study. However, the serum levels of IL-8 and IL-18 without getting increasingly more for repetitive intragastric administration. There were plenty of neutrophils infiltrating in the infected group mucosal. Intestinal metaplasia and gastric ulcers were also founded in H. pylori infected animals after enhanced inoculation. The edema, degeneration and necrosis changes could be found in organelles by transmission electron microscopy. More serious pathological changes were detected in the enhanced inoculation groups compared to the cycle group. CONCLUSIONS The serum levels of IL-17, but not IL-8 and IL-18 may serve as a potential biomarker for diagnosis and predicting the prognosis of gastritis caused by H. pylori.

Background & Aims: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is associated with peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. Polymorphisms of the genes coding Toll-like receptors (TLRs) may influence the innate and adaptive immune responses and affect the susceptibility to H. pylori or the disease outcomes. But the details and association to different polymorphis...

Serum levels of iron parameters and IL-17 in children with Helicobacter pylori infection compared to healthy group

Helicobacter pylori is related to iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and inflammatory responses causing gastric and duodenal ulcer and carcinoma. Moreover, it leads to deficiency of factors associated with iron adsorption and transfer. In the present study, we recruited 100 children (50 infected with H. pylori and 50 controls) aged 3-14 years old (40% male and 60% female) to evaluate the effect of H....

Gastric mucosal cytokine and epithelial cell responses to Helicobacter pylori infection in Mongolian gerbils.

Experimental infection with Helicobacter pylori in Mongolian gerbils results in chronic gastritis and gastric cancer. To investigate epithelial cell proliferation, apoptosis, and mucosal cytokine responses in gastritis, Mongolian gerbils were infected with the H pylori SS1 strain. At 4 weeks post-infection, gastritis was predominantly within the antrum, but extended to the corpus in approximate...
