Project description:Helicobacter pylori, a gastroenteric pathogen believed to have co-evolved with humans for 100.000 years, has a high genetic variability that motivates the study of different H. pylori populations and the diseases caused by them in order to find determinants for disease evolution. In this study we utilized both genomic and proteomic tools to compare a H. pylori strain (Nic25_A) from Nicaragua isolated from a patient with intestinal metaplasia with the P12 strain from Europe isolated from a patient with duodenal ulcer. Differences in the protein expression levels between the two strains were determined by both label-free quantification (MaxQuant) and labelling methods (tandem mass tags, TMT), utilizing a lipid-based protein immobilization (LPI™) technique to target surface protein peptides. Using the MaxQuant software, we found 52 proteins significantly differing between the two strains (up-or-down regulated by a factor of 1.5) and with TMT we were able to find 18 proteins with different expression levels between the strains. The P12 (duodenal ulcer) strain had higher expression of genes belonging to the cagPAI operon, while Nic25_A (intestinal metaplasia) had higher expression of the acid response regulator ArsR, as well as proteins regulated by ArsR; KatA, AmiE, and proteins involved in urease production. The results show that differences in protein expression can be detected by proteomic approaches in H. pylori strains of different pathogenicity, which might have implications for studies of disease progression.

Project description:Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are small vesicles constitutively shed by all Gram-negative bacterium, which have been proposed to play a role in Helicobacter pylori persistence and pathogenesis. The methods currently available for the isolation of H. pylori OMVs are diverse and time-consuming, raising the need for a protocol standardization, which was the main aim of this study. Here, we showed that the chemically defined F12 medium, supplemented with cholesterol, nutritionally supports bacterial growth and maintains H. pylori viability for at least 72 h. Additionally, we developed an abridged protocol for isolation of OMVs from these bacterial cultures, which comprises a low-speed centrifugation, supernatant filtration through a 0.45 µm pore, and two ultracentrifugations for OMVs’ recovery and washing. Using this approach, a good yield of highly pure bona fide OMVs was recovered from cultures of different H. pylori strains and in different periods of bacterial growth. Analysis of the proteome of OMVs isolated from H. pylori F12-cholesterol cultures validated the efficacy of our isolation protocol in attaining a higher sample purity with low representation of flagella proteins. The comparison with the proteomes of H. pylori OMVs available in the literature demonstrated that OMVs carry a selective protein cargo, suggesting their importance for H. pylori survival and pathogenesis. In conclusion, this work proposes a time- and cost-efficient protocol for the isolation of H. pylori OMVs from a chemically defined culture medium that is suitable for implementation in research and in the biopharmaceutical field.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori, a pathogenic member of phylum Campylobacterota (formerly Epsilonproteobacteria), is recognized as the leading cause of several human gastric pathologies, including acute and chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric adenocarcinoma, and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. In the last two decades, the alarming increase of the antibiotic resistance levels to first-line and even “rescue” antibiotics, especially clarithromycin, metronidazole and levofloxacin, has led to a marked decrease of the eradication rates of traditional therapies. In previous works, we have validated the essential protein HsrA as an effective therapeutic target for H. pylori infection. HsrA is an OmpR/PhoB-type orphan response regulator, unique and highly conserved in members of phylum Campylobacterota, which appears involved in a variety of crucial physiological processes. In the present work, we carried out a transcriptomic analysis in order to discern the global effects of lethal concentrations of a bactericidal HsrA inhibitor on the H. pylori physiology. Treatment with the bactericidal HsrA inhibitor significantly changed the transcript levels of 367 open reading frames (ORF), of which 212 genes appeared upregulated and 155 genes resulted in downregulation, as compared with control samples. Thus, in vivo HsrA inhibition influenced, directly or indirectly, the expression of 23% of ORFs encoded by the H. pylori 26696 genome. Among the 268 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with defined functions, two functional categories were highly enriched with downregulated genes involved in essential physiological processes: (1) ribosome biogenesis, and (2) electron transfer and oxidative phosphorylation.

Project description:Ribonucleases (RNases) are central actors in post-transcriptional regulation, a major level of regulation of gene expression in all cells. This control plays an important role in the bacterial pathogen Helicobacter pylori, although only the function of RNase J was characterized so far. Here, we studied the RNase R enzyme from H. pylori, a 3’-5’ exoribonuclease whose ortholog in Escherichia coli was reported to display, in addition, helicase activity and to be able to hydrolyze RNA substrates with double stranded structures. We observed that HpRNase R protein does not carry the domains responsible for helicase activity in E. coli and accordingly that the purified protein is unable to degrade in vitro RNA molecules with secondary structures. The RNase R helicase domain loss is widespread among the Campylobacterota and occurred gradually during their evolution. Furthermore, an in vivo interaction between HpRNase R and RhpA, the sole DEAD-box RNA helicase of H. pylori, was discovered. Phylogenomics suggests that this interaction might occur in other bacteria of the phylum Campylobacterota. Purified RhpA facilitates the degradation of double stranded RNA substrates by HpRNase R, showing that this complex is functional. HpRNase R has a minor role of in 5S rRNA maturation and, as shown by RNA-Seq, few targets in H. pylori all of them being included in the RhpA regulon. In conclusion, we describe a new type of RNase R that lacks some of the features that were considered as hallmarks of RNase R proteins, but that has co-opted another RNA helicase, which we hypothesize helps it accomplish some of its functions in vivo.

Project description:H. pylori infection of human gastric epithelial cells (GEC) represses H,K-ATPase alpha subunit (HK-alpha) gene transcription through NF-Kappa B p50 homodimer binding to HK-alpha promoter. The bacterial cagA and slt gene products have been implicated in HK-alpha repression, which facilitates gastric H. pylori colonization and may underlie transient clinical hypochlorhydria. We hypothesized that H. pylori also regulates H,K-ATPase expression post-transcriptionally by micro-RNA interaction with HK-alpha mRNA. Our microarray experiment examined the effect of infection by wildtype H. pylori infection or a delta-cagA H. pylori mutant on miRNA expression of human gastric cells (AGS). Our results indicate that H. pylori infection up-regulates GEC miRNAs that target the HK-alpha 3' UTR and block translation, and that CagA activity is implicated in the miRNA up-regulation. Three types of samples were generated for microarray analysis: 1) AGS cells infected with wildtype H. pylori; 2) AGS cells infected with cagA-deficient H. pylori; 3) a mock-infected sample, prepared as a control by combining total RNA from uninfected AGS cells with total RNA from wildtype H. pylori, with relative eukaryotic and prokaryotic RNA amounts matching those observed in infected samples, based on proportional ribosomal peak heights quantified by Bioanalyzer. Three experimental replicates were generated for each type of treatment.

Project description:We have shown that pre-incubation with Bifidobacterium bifidum (B. bifidum) strain BF-1, a probiotic strain known to improve H. pylori-associated gastritis, suppresses the induction of IL-8 by the pathogen. To investigate how BF-1 affects gene expression in H. pylori-infected cells, we performed microarray analysis to assess gene expression in epithelial cells, which had been pre-incubated with BF-1 and infected with H. pylori. Four-condition experiment. Biological replicates with a dye-exchange experiment. Biological replicates with a longer incubation time experiment.
