Anti-CagA immunoglobulin G responses correlate with interleukin-8 induction in human gastric mucosal biopsy culture.

چکیده
Helicobacter pylori persists in the human stomach despite eliciting both cellular and humoral immune responses and inducing proinflammatory cytokines. To determine whether local humoral and cytokine responses are related to each other and to histologic responses, we studied 66 Japanese patients who underwent gastroscopy. Using specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, we examined gastric antral mucosal-organ biopsy culture supernatants to assess interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels and antibody responses to H. pylori whole-cell antigens CagA, HspA, and HspB. Of the patients studied, 11 were H. pylori negative and 55 were H. pylori positive; by PCR, all strains were cagA(+). As expected, compared to H. pylori-negative patients, H. pylori-positive patients had significantly higher humoral responses to all H. pylori antigens and had higher IL-8 (47.8+/-3.5 versus 10.1+/-4.3 ng/mg of biopsy protein; P<0.001) and IL-6 levels (2.8+/-0.3 versus 0.26+/-0.2 ng/mg of protein; P<0.001). Among the H. pylori-positive patients, supernatant anti-CagA immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels were significantly associated with H. pylori density (P<0.005) and neutrophil infiltration (P<0.005) scores. Anti-CagA immunoglobulin A levels were correlated with intestinal metaplasia (P<0.05). Mononuclear cell infiltration scores were significantly associated with supernatant IL-6 levels (P<0.005) and with IgG responses to whole-cell antigens (P<0.05). Supernatant IL-8 levels were significantly associated with anti-CagA IgG (r = 0.75, P<0.001). Anti-CagA responses correlated with neutrophil infiltration, intestinal metaplasia, H. pylori density, and IL-8 levels, suggesting that the absolute levels of these antibodies may be markers for gastric inflammation and premalignant changes in individual hosts.

Association of the CagA gene positive Helicobacter pylori and tissue levels of interleukin-17 and interleukin-8 in gastric ulcer patients.
It has been reported that CagA gene positive Helicobacter pylori (CagA+ H. pylon) induces severe gastric mucosal inflammation. On the other hand, Interleukin (IL)-17 is known to stimulate IL-8 release by the gastric epithelial cells which facilitates chemotaxis of neutrophils through an IL-8-dependent mechanism. The aim of the study is to determine the role of IL-17 and IL-8 in the development ...

Mucosal and systemic immunologic recognition of cagA by Helicobacter pylori-infected individuals is associated with peptic ulcer disease; however, in the laboratory, expression of cagA is subject to artificial conditions which may not accurately reflect the conditions in host tissues. Gastric antral and body biopsy specimens and serum for anti-H. pylori immunoglobulin G serology were obtained f...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has been reported in more than half of the world human population. It is associated with gastric inflammation and noticeable infiltration of the immune cells to the stomach mucosa by several cytokines secretion. IL-1&beta, IL-18 have been shown to contribute to H. pylori induced gastritis, but the details of inflammation and association of virulence fac...

BACKGROUND Most of what is known about the Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) cytotoxin, CagA, pertains to a much-vaunted role as a determinant of gastric inflammation and cancer. Little attention has been devoted to potential roles of CagA in the majority of H. pylori infected individuals not showing oncogenic progression, particularly in relation to host tolerance. Regenerating islet-derived (RE...
