幽门螺杆菌感染动物模型与疫苗发展

目前认为人是幽门螺杆菌的唯一自然感染宿主,常见其他动物中虽然螺杆菌属细菌感染相当普遍,但并未发现有幽门螺杆菌的自然感染存在;用临床分离的普通幽门螺杆菌菌株感染动物发现,仅有雪貂等少数动物可感染;从大量菌株中筛选出的能够成功定植大、小鼠的幽门螺杆菌菌(如SS1菌株等),虽在致病机制研究及临床药物筛选中发挥了重要作用,但由于其具有与在人类不同的黏附定居机制,无法成功地作为疫苗效果评价中的动物模型使用,国内外使用者均遇到了疫苗动物保护率与在人群中保护率的明显反差问题,成为幽门螺杆菌疫苗发展中的主要瓶颈之一。当前幽门…     

Effect of Helicobacter pylori eradication on extent of duodenal gastric metaplasia and grade of gastritis

The extent of the regression of duodenal gastric metaplasia (DGM) after the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection is controversial. Therefore, we decided to assess the degree of DGM before, sex weeks and one year after H. pylori eradication. 105 consecutive Helicobacter pylori positive patients with endoscopically proven duodenal ulcer, with DGM and Helicobacter pylori infection were recruited for this study. The diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection was based on CLO-test and histology, and DGM was assessed on four bulb biopsies taken before, sex weeks and one year after Helicobacter pylori eradication. Histological assessment of Helicobacter pylori associated gastritis was performed according to the Sydney classification. Follow up study on 98 patients before, six weeks and one year after the eradication of Helicobacter pylori showed that the mean extent of DGM did not change significantly after eradication and did not differ when compared with 14 patients with persisting infection. Our results show that the inflammatory process related to Helicobacter pylori does not play the main role in the development of DGM.

Quantitative detection for low levels of Helicobacter pylori infection in experimentally infected mice by real-time PCR

Accurate diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection is important in both clinical practice and clinical research. Molecular methods are highly specific and sensitive, and various PCR-based tests have been developed to detect H. pylori in gastric biopsy specimens. We optimized a sensitive and specific quantitative SYBR Green I real-time PCR assay for detection of H. pylori based on amplification of the fragment of a 26-kDa Helicobacter species-specific antigen gene that allows for detection of 5 bacterial cells per PCR sample. Under the assay conditions, SYBR Green I real-time PCR is highly reproducible with a precise log-linear relation in the range of six orders of magnitude of bacterial DNA concentrations. For accurate comparison of H. pylori infection in different tissue samples, the amount of total host DNA in each sample is normalized by TaqMan real-time PCR of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) pseudogenes. The developed method was validated in prophilactically immunized and experimentally infected mice and revealed a level of H. pylori gastric colonisation that was below the limit of detection for a rapid urease test. This new method established for a quantitative analysis of H. pylori in the host's stomach may be useful in experimental studies evaluating new anti-H. pylori drugs and vaccines.     

In the quest for new targets for pathogen eradication: the adenylosuccinate synthetase from the bacterium Helicobacter pylori

Adenylosuccinate synthetase (AdSS) is an enzyme at regulatory point of purine metabolism. In pathogenic organisms which utilise only the purine salvage pathway, AdSS asserts itself as a promising drug target. One of these organisms is Helicobacter pylori, a wide-spread human pathogen involved in the development of many diseases. The rate of H. pylori antibiotic resistance is on the increase, making the quest for new drugs against this pathogen more important than ever. In this context, we describe here the properties of H. pylori AdSS. This enzyme exists in a dimeric active form independently of the presence of its ligands. Its narrow stability range and pH-neutral optimal working conditions reflect the bacterium’s high level of adaptation to its living environment. Efficient inhibition of H. pylori AdSS with hadacidin and adenylosuccinate gives hope of finding novel drugs that aim at eradicating this dangerous pathogen.     

Molecular fingerprinting of Helicobacter pylori strains from duodenal ulcer patients

AIMS: To characterize the molecular fingerprinting of Helicobacter pylori population isolated in duodenal ulcer patients treated with triple therapy. METHODS AND RESULTS: Gastric biopsy specimens from corpus and antrum, were cultured for H. pylori isolation. Helicobacter pylori eradication was evaluated after 4 and 16 weeks. DNAs of all isolates were characterized by random amplified polymorphic DNA typing and cagA gene was also detected. After the therapy, five patients harboured the microorganism at 4 weeks and two of them remained H. pylori positive at 16 weeks. The analysis of DNA fingerprinting of strains isolated from antrum and corpus of patients susceptible to treatment, showed similar patterns. Instead, when the therapy was not effective, strains isolated from sequential biopsies from initial and after 4 and 16 weeks, showed distinct fingerprintings and retained the cagA status, over time. CONCLUSIONS: The drugs used for therapy could exercise an effect in genotypical rearrangement among H. pylori cells. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The variableness among H. pylori strains represents a way to challenge environmental stress.     

Essential role of Helicobacter pylori gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase for the colonization of the gastric mucosa of mice

Constitutive expression of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) activity is common to all Helicobacter pylori strains, and is used as a marker for identifying H. pylori isolates. Helicobacter pylori GGT was purified from sonicated extracts of H. pylori strain 85P by anion exchange chromatography. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of two of the generated endo-proteolysed peptides were determined, allowing the cloning and sequencing of the corresponding gene from a genomic H. pylori library. The H. pylori ggt gene consists of a 1681 basepair (bp) open reading frame encoding a protein with a signal sequence and a calculated molecular mass of 61 kDa. Escherichia coli clones harbouring the H. pylori ggt gene exhibited GGT activity at 37 degrees C, in contrast to E. coli host cells (MC1061, HB101), which were GGT negative at 37 degrees C. GGT activity was found to be constitutively expressed by similar genes in Helicobacter felis, Helicobacter canis, Helicobacter bilis, Helicobacter hepaticus and Helicobacter mustelae. Western immunoblots using rabbit antibodies raised against a His-tagged-GGT recombinant protein demonstrated that H. pylori GGT is synthesized in both H. pylori and E. coli as a pro-GGT that is processed into a large and a small subunit. Deletion of a 700 bp fragment within the GGT-encoding gene of a mouse-adapted H. pylori strain (SS1) resulted in mutants that were GGT negative yet grew normally in vitro. These mutants, however, were unable to colonize the gastric mucosa of mice when orally administered alone or together (co-infection) with the parental strain. These results demonstrate that H. pylori GGT activity has an essential role for the establishment of the infection in the mouse model, demonstrating for the first time a physiological role for a bacterial GGT enzyme.     

Helicobacter pylori and Non-malignant Diseases

In 2007 Helicobacter pylori research continued to deal with some controversies raised in the last decade. The main problems remain unsolved: peptic ulcer disease negative for H. pylori , synergism of H. pylori infection and aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or cyclooxygenase 2 specific inhibitors, the role of H. pylori eradication in uninvestigated and nonulcer dyspepsia, and the possible protective effect of H. pylori infection against gastroesophageal reflux disease and its complications such as Barrett's esophagus and adenocarcinoma. The incidence and prevalence of peptic ulcer disease as well as ulcer-related mortality are continuing to decline all over the world. The increasing consumption of anti-inflammatory and antisecretory drugs was not found to change the trend over the last period and therefore H. pylori was considered the key factor in causing ulcer-related mortality. Some progress has been achieved in understanding H. pylori -induced immunological processes, and attack mechanisms, as well as specific pathogenesis in uremic and cirrhotic patients. There is still a lot to learn about the bacterium and host factors related to H. pylori infection and its complications.     

The actions of bismuth in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infections: an update

Helicobacter pylori causes various gastric diseases, such as gastritis, peptic ulcerations and gastric cancer. Bismuth-based triple or quadruple therapies have been commonly recommended for the treatment of H. pylori infections. Up to now, the molecular mechanisms by which bismuth inhibits the growth of H. pylori are far from clear. The present concise review intends to cover the most recent reports and discoveries in the field of the inhibitory mechanism of bismuth against H. pylori as well as the bacterial protective response to drug treatment, which will help us to further understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the actions of metal-based drugs and stimulate further development of effective anti-bacterial drugs.     

Is there seasonal periodicity in the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori?

The objective of the present study was to evaluate seasonal periodicity in the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori. A prospective study was performed on 1076 consecutive patients who were investigated in our hospital over a 3-year span because of epigastric complaints. Our findings indicate a significant accumulation of positive Helicobacter pylori tests in October. Gastric acidity, gender, and age did not influence Helicobacter pylori infection significantly. There was no significant correlation between potential seasonal influence on the diagnosis of ulcer disease and the seasonal fluctuation of Helicobacter pylori infection. The seasonality was confirmed by cosinor analysis for the absolute frequencies of H. pylori infections and also for the number of cases positive for H. pylori per number of presenting patients per month. A seasonal concept of a sensitivity threshold for positive Helicobacter pylori testing is introduced, taking into account such factors as immune system, nutrition, and medication status.
