Oral vaccination of mice against Helicobacter pylori with recombinant Lactococcus lactis expressing urease subunit B

To determine whether a protective immune response could be elicited by oral delivery of a recombinant live bacterial vaccine, Helicobacter pylori urease subunit B (UreB) was expressed for extracellular expression in food-grade bacterium Lactococcus lactis . The UreB-producing strains were then administered orally to mice, and the immune response to UreB was examined. Orally vaccinated mice produced a significant UreB-specific serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) response. Specific anti-UreB IgA responses could be detected in the feces of mice immunized with the secreting lactococcal strain. Mice vaccinated orally were significantly protected against gastric Helicobacter infection following a challenge with H. pylori strain SS1. In conclusion, mucosal vaccination with L. lactis expressing UreB produced serum IgG and UreB-specific fecal IgA, and prevented gastric infection with H. pylori .     

Genetic complementation of the urease-negative Helicobacter pylori mutant N6ureB::TnKm

Helicobacter pylori produces urease composed of the structural subunits UreA and UreB. Isogenic mutants produced by shuttle mutagenesis from the wild-type strain N6 are widely used in the literature. We describe the genetic complementation of the mutant N6ureB::TnKm by stable transformation with the vector pHel2 containing the cloned genes ureA and ureB and their specific promoter sequence. The orientation of the cloned insert was found to be crucial for urease expression. The majority of complemented clones functionally expressed urease at higher levels than did N6. Homologous recombination between chromosomal and cloned genes occurred at a frequency of 5%.

UreA2B2: a second urease system in the gastric pathogen Helicobacter felis

Urease activity is vital for gastric colonization by Helicobacter species, such as the animal pathogen Helicobacter felis. Here it is demonstrated that H. felis expresses two independent, and distinct urease systems. H. felis isolate CS1 expressed two proteins of 67 and 70 kDa reacting with antibodies to H. pylori urease. The 67-kDa protein was identified as the UreB urease subunit, whereas the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the 70-kDa protein displayed 58% identity with the UreB protein and was tentatively named UreB2. The gene encoding the UreB2 protein was identified and located in a gene cluster named ureA2B2. Inactivation of ureB led to complete absence of urease activity, whereas inactivation of ureB2 resulted in decreased urease activity. Although the exact function of the UreA2B2 system is still unknown, it is conceivable that UreA2B2 may contribute to pathogenesis of H. felis infection through a yet unknown mechanism.     

Genetic immunization of ducks for production of antibodies specific to Helicobacter pylori UreB in egg yolks

Following genetic immunization of laying ducks with a plasmid expressing Helicobacter pylori UreB (large subunit of urease), IgY against UreB were obtained from egg yolks. These polyclonal and monospecific IgY antibodies are of higher-titer and specifically recognize recombinant H. pylori urease purified from Escherichia coli. To our knowledge this is the first report describing generation of IgY antibodies directed against antigens of H. pylori by DNA-based immunization.     

Periplasmic expression and one-step purification of urease subunit B of Helicobacter pylori

UreB is one of the urease subunits of Helicobacter pylori and can be used as an excellent antigen candidate for H. pylori vaccination. Easy access to highly purified UreB protein, facilitate advances in therapeutic or preventive strategies. To achieve a simplified purification procedure, the present report represents a novel method of producing recombinant urease subunit B extracellularly. ureB gene from 26,695 standard strain was amplified by PCR and cloned into pET-26b(+) expression vector. UreB was expressed as a soluble, N-terminal pelB and C-terminal hexahistidine-tagged fusion protein (UreB-6His) and secreted into the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli. Expression of the recombinant UreB in E. coli BL21 (DE3) was induced by isopropylthio-β-d-galactoside (IPTG). Expression of UreB was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) and western blot analysis using anti-His monoclonal antibody. UreB-6His protein was extracted from the periplasm by osmotic shock treatment and was purified in one step by Nickel affinity chromatography. In conclusion, the present protocol is easier to perform; more time effective and low cost than earlier methods.
