5-LOX inhibitor modulates the inflammatory responses provoked by Helicobacter pylori infection 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
BACKGROUND: Arachidonic acid metabolites have been considered as pivotal mediators in Helicobacter pylori-induced inflammatory response, which are mainly metabolized by two distinct enzymes: cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX). While COX has become well known to play a key role in either carcinogenesis or inflammation related to H. pylori infection, little is known regarding the implication of LOX in H. pylori infection. In this study, we evaluated the roles of 5-LOX and its metabolites in H. pylori-induced host responses and further a potential beneficial action of specific LOX inhibitors against H. pylori infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Expressions of cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)), COX-2, and 5-LOX after H. pylori infection were evaluated by immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting. Synthesis of LOX metabolites was measured with reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. For analyzing the influence of 5-LOX inhibitors, nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) and geraniin, on H. pylori-induced inflammatory responses, RNase protection assay and RT-PCR were performed. RESULTS: H. pylori stimulated the translocation of cPLA(2) from cytoplasm to nucleus and increased the biosynthesis of hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) as a predominant form of 5S-HETE in gastric epithelium. NDGA exerted a strong suppression activity of H. pylori-induced 5-LOX signaling. The administration of LOX inhibitors was related with down-expression of proinflammatory mediators such as interleukin-8 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in both H. pylori-infected gastric epithelial cells and macrophage cells. CONCLUSION: LOX modulation with its specific inhibitors could impose significant anti-inflammatory responses after H. pylori infection, based on the fact that H. pylori infection provoked gastric inflammation through metabolizing arachidonic acid by the 5-LOX pathway. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori infection is mainly acquired in childhood, and polymorphisms in the host genes coding for Toll-like receptors (TLRs) may influence the innate and adaptive immune response to the infection, affecting the susceptibility to H. pylori or the disease outcomes. Our aim was to investigate whether TLR4, TLR2, and TLR5 polymorphisms were associated with H. pylori susceptibility and risk for duodenal ulcer in children. Gastric biopsy specimens were obtained at endoscopy for evaluation of H. pylori status, TLR4, TLR2 and TLR5 polymorphisms from 486 children (254 H. pylori-negative and 232 H. pylori-positive: 72 with and 160 without duodenal ulcer). cagA status of H. pylori infection was investigated by PCR. The levels of gastric cytokines were detected by ELISA. H. pylori-positivity or duodenal ulcer were not associated with TLR2, TLR4 or TLR5 polymorphisms. Otherwise, the presence of TLR4 polymorphic allele was associated with infection by cagA-positive strains and with increased gastric levels of interleukin-8 and interleukin-10. TLR4 polymorphism might ultimately contribute to more severe consequences of the infection in adulthood since it was associated with susceptibility to cagA-positive H. pylori infection early in life. 相似文献

The host immune response plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Helicobacter pylori infection. The aim of this study was to clarify the immune pathogenic mechanism of Helicobacter pylori infection via TLR signaling and gastric mucosal Treg cells in mice. To discover the underlying mechanism, we selectively blocked the TLR signaling pathway and subpopulations of regulatory T cells in the gastric mucosa of mice, and examined the consequences on H. pylori infection and inflammatory response as measured by MyD88, NF-κB p65, and Foxp3 protein expression levels and the levels of Th1, Th17 and Th2 cytokines in the gastric mucosa. We determined that blocking TLR4 signaling in H. pylori infected mice decreased the numbers of Th1 and Th17 Treg cells compared to controls (P < 0.001–0.05), depressed the immune response as measured by inflammatory grade (P < 0.05), and enhanced H. pylori colonization (P < 0.05). In contrast, blocking CD25 had the opposite effects, wherein the Th1 and Th17 cell numbers were increased (P < 0.001–0.05), immune response was enhanced (P < 0.05), and H. pylori colonization was inhibited (P < 0.05) compared to the non-blocked group. In both blocked groups, the Th2 cytokine IL-4 remained unchanged, although IL-10 in the CD25 blocked group was significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Furthermore, MyD88, NF-κB p65, and Foxp3 in the non-blocked group were significantly lower than those in the TLR4 blocked group (P < 0.05), but significantly higher than those of the CD25 blocked group (P < 0.05). Together, these results suggest that there might be an interaction between TLR signaling and Treg cells that is important for limiting H. pylori colonization and suppressing the inflammatory response of infected mice. 相似文献

Background:
It is not yet known which types of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are most effective in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) recognition. It is also not known which gastric zones have the most prominent roles in TLR-mediated bacterial recognition. The aim of this work was to analyze the expression of TLR2 and TLR4 in biopsy specimens from H. pylori-infected patients.Methods:
Thirty-eight patients with gastrointestinal disorders were divided into four groups in this study. The groups were: (A) H. pylori infection and peptic ulcer (n=15), (B) peptic ulcer only (n=5), (C) H. pylori infection only (n=10) and (D) control, with neither H. pylori infection nor peptic ulcer (n=8). Biopsy specimens from sites of redness or atrophic mucosa from gastric antrum and body in patients with gastritis were collected. RNAs from the antrum and body specimens were isolated. TLR2 and TLR4 mRNA expression was assessed by RT-PCR and quantified as densitometric ratios of TLR2 and TLR4/β-actin mRNA.Results:
In the antral zones of H. pylori-infected patients (Groups A and C) TLR2 and TLR4 expression was significantly greater than in uninfected patients (Groups B and D) regardless of peptic ulcers (p < 0.05). In the gastric body samples TLR2 expression was significantly greater in Group C (H. pylori infection only) than in Group B (peptic ulcer only) and TLR4 expression was significantly greater in group A (H. pylori infection and peptic ulcer) than in Group B (peptic ulcer only) (p < 0.05). No significant differences in expression of TLR4 and TLR2 were observed between samples from the antrum and body in same groups.Conclusions:
We conclude that H. pylori infection leads to significant increase in TLR2 and TLR4 molecules expression in antral region related to the control group. Considering the stimulatory effect of H. pylori on TLRs expression in the gastric tissue, we assume that colonization of H. pylori infection might occurs more in the gastric antral region than in the gastric body.Key Words: Helicobacter pylori, Toll-like receptors, TLR4; TLR2, Peptic ulcer 相似文献6.

Cell-surface Toll-like receptors (TLRs) initiate innate immune responses, such as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) induction, to microorganisms' surface pathogens. TLR2 and TLR4 play important roles in gastric mucosa infected with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), which contains lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a pathogen. The present study investigates their physiological roles in the innate immune response of gastric epithelial cells to H. pylori-LPS. Changes in the expression of iNOS, TLR2, and TLR4, as well as downstream activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), were analyzed in normal mouse gastric mucosal GSM06 cells following stimulation with H. pylori-LPS and interferon-gamma. Specific inhibitors for mitogen-activated protein kinases, NF-kappaB, and small interfering RNA for TLR2 or TLR4 were employed. The immunohistochemistry of TLR2 was examined in human gastric mucosa. H. pylori-LPS stimulation induced TLR2 in GSM06 cells, but TLR4 was unchanged. TLR2 induction resulted from TLR4 signaling that propagated through extracellular signal-related kinase and NF-kappaB activation, as corroborated by the decline in TLR4 expression on small interfering RNA treatment and pretreatment with inhibitors. The induction of iNOS and the associated nitric oxide production in response to H. pylori-LPS stimulation were inhibited by declines in not only TLR4 but also TLR2. Increased expression of TLR2 was identified in H. pylori-infected human gastric mucosa. TLR4 signaling initiated by H. pylori-LPS and propagated via extracellular signal-regulated kinase and NF-kappaB activation induced TLR2 expression in gastric epithelial cells. Induced TLR2 cooperated with TLR4 to amplify iNOS induction. This positive correlation may constitute a mechanism for stimulating the innate immune response against various bacterial pathogens, including H. pylori-LPS. 相似文献

Osteoclasts are bone-resorbing cells that are differentiated from hemopoietic precursors of the monocyte-macrophage lineage. Stimulation of TLRs has been shown to positively or negatively modulate osteoclast differentiation, depending on the experimental condition. However, the molecular mechanism by which this modulation takes place remains unclear. In the present study, we examined the effects of flagellin, a specific microbial ligand of TLR5, on the receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand (RANKL)-stimulated osteoclastogenesis. Flagellin suppressed RANKL induction of c-Fos protein expression in bone marrow-derived macrophages without affecting c-Fos mRNA expression. Ectopic overexpression of c-Fos and a constitutively active form of NFATc1 reversed the flagellin-induced anti-osteoclastogenic effect. The inhibitory effect of flagellin was mediated by IFN-beta production. Flagellin stimulated IFN-beta expression and release in bone marrow-derived macrophages, and IFN-beta-neutralizing Ab prevented the flagellin-induced c-Fos down-regulation and the anti-osteoclastogenic effect. IFN-beta gene induction by flagellin, LPS, or RANKL was dependent on STAT1 activation. Treatment with flagellin or RANKL stimulated STAT1 activation, and STAT1 deficiency or the JAK2 inhibitor AG490 dramatically prevented IFN-beta induction in response to flagellin or RANKL. In addition, STAT1 deficiency abolished the anti-osteoclastogenic effect induced by flagellin or LPS. In contrast, flagellin stimulated osteoclast differentiation in cocultures of osteoblasts and bone marrow cells without inducing IFN-beta. Thus, IFN-beta acts as a critical modulator of osteoclastogenesis in response to TLR5 activation. 相似文献

The pathophysiology of Helicobacter pylori-associated gastroduodenal diseases, ulcerogenesis, and carcinogenesis is intimately linked to activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Extracellular virulence factors, such as CagA and VacA, have been proposed to regulate EGFR activation and VEGF production in gastric epithelial cells. We demonstrate that the H. pylori secretory protein, HP0175, by virtue of its ability to bind TLR4, transactivates EGFR and stimulates EGFR-dependent VEGF production in the gastric cancer cell line AGS. Knock-out of the hp0175 gene attenuates the ability of the resultant H. pylori strain to activate EGFR or to induce VEGF production. HP0175-induced activation of EGFR is preceded by translocation of TLR4 into lipid rafts. In lipid rafts, the Src kinase family member Lyn interacts with TLR4, leading to tyrosine phosphorylation of TLR4. Knockdown of Lyn prevents HP0175-induced activation of EGFR and VEGF production. Tyrosine-phosphorylated TLR4 interacts with EGFR. This interaction is necessary for the activation of EGFR. Disruption of lipid rafts with methyl beta-cyclodextrin prevents HP0175-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of TLR4 and activation of EGFR. This mechanism of transactivation of EGFR is novel and distinct from that of metalloprotease-dependent shedding of EGF-like ligands, leading to autocrine activation of EGFR. It provides new insight into our understanding of the receptor cross-talk network. 相似文献

The human gastrointestinal tract is colonized by an abundance of bacteria, which are in constant interaction with the epithelial lining usually leading to an intricate balance between tolerance and immunological response. There is ample evidence that the abundant presence of bacteria thus plays a role in the maintenance of human health, as well as in the induction of chronic inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Research in this field is, however, considerably hampered by the abundance of bacterial species, many of which have not even been characterized, and are difficult to culture specifically. These important limitations may to some extent be overcome by recent molecular biologic methods. Furthermore however, the adherent mucosal flora may differ largely from the luminal flora and that in excreta. These characteristics do not pertain to Helicobacter pylori, which generally colonizes the human stomach as a single strain with stable characteristics. Such colonization is stable throughout life, but can be treated. Furthermore, the association with chronic gastritis is very strong. For these reasons, H. pylori serves as an excellent model for the understanding of the processes involved in bacterial colonization and host response including mediation of immunoregulation, and the mechanisms by which this response can lead to disease. 相似文献

Pharmacologic antagonism of CCR5, a chemokine receptor expressed on macrophages and activated T cells, is an effective antiviral therapy in patients with macrophage-tropic HIV infection, but its efficacy in modulating inflammation and immunity is only just beginning to be investigated. In this regard, the recruitment of CCR5-bearing cells into clinical allografts is a hallmark of acute rejection and may anticipate chronic rejection, whereas conventionally immunosuppressed renal transplant patients homozygous for a nonfunctional Delta32 CCR5 receptor rarely exhibit late graft loss. Therefore, we explored the effects of a potent, highly selective CCR5 antagonist, Merck's compound 167 (CMPD 167), in an established cynomolgus monkey cardiac allograft model. Although perioperative stress responses (fever, diminished activity) and the recruitment of CCR5-bearing leukocytes into the graft were markedly attenuated, anti-CCR5 monotherapy only marginally prolonged allograft survival. In contrast, relative to cyclosporine A monotherapy, CMPD 167 with cyclosporine A delayed alloantibody production, suppressed cardiac allograft vasculopathy, and tended to further prolong graft survival. CCR5 therefore represents an attractive therapeutic target for attenuating postsurgical stress responses and favorably modulating pathogenic alloimmunity in primates, including man. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori secretes a vacuolating toxin (VacA) that can assemble into water-soluble oligomeric complexes and insert into membranes to form anion-selective channels. Previous studies have described multiple types of oligomeric VacA structures, including single-layered astral arrays, bilayered forms, and two-dimensional crystalline arrays. In the current study, vitrified VacA complexes were examined by cryo-negative staining electron microscopy, views of the different oligomeric structures in multiple orientations were classified and analyzed, and three-dimensional models of the bilayered forms of VacA were constructed with a resolution of about 19 angstroms. These bilayered forms of VacA have a "flower"-like structure, consisting of a central ring surrounded by symmetrically arranged peripheral "petals." Further structural insights were obtained by analyzing a mutant form of VacA (VacADelta6-27), which lacks a unique amino-terminal hydrophobic segment and is defective in the capacity to form membrane channels. Bilayered oligomeric complexes formed by wild-type VacA contained a visible density within the central ring, whereas bilayered complexes formed by VacADelta6-27 lacked this density. These results indicate that deletion of the VacA amino-terminal hydrophobic region causes a structural alteration in the central ring within VacA oligomers, and suggest that the central ring plays an important role in the process by which VacA forms membrane channels. 相似文献

TLR2- and TLR4-mediated signals determine attenuation or augmentation of inflammation by acute alcohol in monocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Most pathogens express ligands for multiple TLRs that share common downstream signaling. In this study, we investigated the effects of acute alcohol on inflammatory pathways induced by TLR2 or TLR4 ligands and their combination. In human monocytes, alcohol attenuated TLR4- but not TLR2-induced TNF-alpha protein and mRNA levels and NF-kappaB activation. In contrast, acute alcohol augmented TNF-alpha production when both TLR2 and TLR4 ligands were present. IL-1R-associated kinase (IRAK)-1 activity was reduced by alcohol in TLR4, but it was augmented in TLR2- plus TLR4-stimulated cells. IRAK-monocyte, an inhibitor of IRAK-1, was induced in TLR4, but it was reduced in TLR2- plus TLR4-stimulated monocytes by alcohol. This was supported by decreased IRAK-1:TRAF6 association in TLR4 induced but sustained presence of IRAK-1:TRAF6 complexes in TLR2- plus TLR4-stimulated monocytes after alcohol treatment. Phosphorylation of MAPKs such as ERK1/2 was selectively inhibited by acute alcohol in TLR4-stimulated cells. In contrast, JNK phosphorylation as well as AP-1 nuclear binding were augmented by acute alcohol in the presence of combined TLR4 and TLR2 stimulation. Consistent with this result, the JNK inhibitor prevented alcohol-induced augmentation of TNF-alpha production. These results suggest that acute alcohol attenuates TLR4-induced inflammation via inhibition of IRAK-1 and ERK1/2 kinases and increases in IRAK-monocyte levels in monocytes. Conversely, in the presence of TLR2 and TLR4 ligands, acute alcohol augments inflammatory responses via IRAK-1 activation and JNK phosphorylation. Thus, the complexity of TLR-mediated signals may determine attenuation or augmentation of inflammatory responses by acute alcohol. 相似文献

Mitochondria, known to share many common features with prokaryotic cells, accumulate several endogenous ligands of the pattern-recognition Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), such as the heat shock proteins (Hsp) 70 and 60. TLR4 specifically recognises and responds to LPS of Gram-negative bacteria and participates in both autoimmune reactions and tissue regeneration due to its ability to recognise endogenous ligands. In the present study we show that mitochondria extracts obtained from hydrogen peroxide-dysfunctionalised cells induce a pro-inflammatory response in human THP-1 myeloid leukaemia cells. This inflammatory response was similar to that caused by LPS and much stronger than that induced by the extracts of normal mitochondria. Such reactions include activation of stress-adaptation hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) and expression/release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α. Pre-treatment of THP-1 myeloid macrophages with TLR4-neutralising antibody before exposure to mitochondria extracts or LPS attenuated the inflammatory responses. Signalling pathways recruited by TLR4 in response to LPS and mitochondria-derived ligands were found to be the same. An in vitro ELISA-based TLR4-ligand binding assay, in which the ligand-binding domain of human TLR4 was immobilised, showed that mitochondria extracts contain endogenous TLR4 ligands. These results were verified in surface plasmon resonance experiments in which the affinity of the ligands derived from dysfunctional mitochondria was comparable with that of LPS and was much higher than that observed for normal mitochondria. 相似文献
