Helicobacter pylori infection in children.

ABSTRACT: Helicobacter pylori infection affects more than half of the world population and it occurs generally in childhood. It is associated with gastroduodenal ulcer, gastric atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, gastric adenocarcinoma and lymphoid tissue-associated lymphoma. It is difficult to eradicate this bacterium due to its high antimicrobial resistance. In children, the infection is asymptomatic in the majority of cases and complications are less common. Probable inverse relationships with allergic diseases and inflammatory bowel diseases are being studied. These reasons mean that the decision to diagnose and treat the infection in children is only considered in specific circumstances in which it provides true benefits. This review focuses on some current considerations regarding epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of childhood infection, emphasising outcomes and treatment schemes in children.

Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with an altered gastric microbiota in children.

Project description:The intestinal microbiome in early life influences development of the mucosal immune system and predisposition to certain diseases. Because less is known about the microbiome in the stomach and its relationship to disease, we characterized the microbiota in the stomachs of 86 children and adults and the impact of Helicobacter pylori infection on the bacterial communities. The overall composition of the gastric microbiota in children and adults without H. pylori infection was similar, with minor differences in only low abundance taxa. However, the gastric microbiota in H. pylori-infected children, but not infected adults, differed significantly in the proportions of multiple high abundance taxa compared with their non-infected peers. The stomachs of H. pylori-infected children also harbored more diverse microbiota, smaller abundance of Firmicutes, and larger abundance of non-Helicobacter Proteobacteria and several lower taxonomic groups than stomachs of H. pylori-infected adults. Children with restructured gastric microbiota had higher levels of FOXP3, IL10, and TGFβ expression, consistent with increased T-regulatory cell responses, compared with non-infected children and H. pylori-infected adults. The gastric commensal bacteria in children are altered during H. pylori infection in parallel with more tolerogenic gastric mucosae, potentially contributing to the reduced gastric disease characteristic of H. pylori-infected children.

Increased Antibiotic Resistance in Children with Helicobacter pylori Infection: A Retrospective Study.

Project description:Children with recurrent abdominal pain may be suffering from a Helicobacterpylori (HP) infection. The gold standard for confirming HP gastritis is histological evaluation and microbiological tests performed on specimens collected by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). The aim of this study was to analyze HP positive cultures and antibiograms with regard to clinical and histopathological correlates. The data of 124 subjects with frequent gastrointestinal symptoms who underwent an EGD were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The mean age of the patients was 13 ± 3.6 years. The most frequent complaints were epigastric pain (84%; n = 100/119) and dyspepsia (79%; n = 94/119). HP gastritis was diagnosed in 54% (n = 67). Interestingly, 40% (n = 49) of the isolates were resistant to at least one antibiotic: amoxicillin (20%; n = 10/49), clarithromycin (45%; n = 22/49), or metronidazole (59%; n = 29/49). Isolates were resistant to two or more antibiotics in 16% (n = 20) of cases. In conclusion, we revealed remarkably high resistance rates to amoxicillin, metronidazole, and clarithromycin in our cohort. The presence of antibiotic resistance to more than one antibiotic was substantially increased in our HP-infected patients and this may negatively affect eradication treatment.

Hellenic consensus on Helicobacter pylori infection.

Project description:The Hellenic Society of Gastroenterology recently organized the "Hellenic consensus on Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection". The aim of this publication is to report the guidelines in order to aid the national gastroenterology community in the management of H. pylori infection. Forty-one delegates from all Greek regions, including gastroenterologists, pathologists, clinical microbiologists, epidemiologists and basic scientists, were invited to this meeting. The participants were allocated to 1 of the 4 main topics of the meeting: i.e., H. pylori diagnosis and association with diseases; H. pylori and gastric cancer; H. pylori and extragastric associated disorders; and H. pylori treatment. The results of each subgroup were submitted to a final consensus vote that included all participants. Relevant data based on international and Greek publications were presented, and the quality of evidence, strength of recommendation, and level of consensus were graded. The cutoff level of 70% was considered as acceptance for the final statement. It is hoped that the recommendations and conclusions of this report will guide Greek doctors in their daily practice concerning the management of H. pylori infection.

Helicobacter pylori infection dysregulates gastric proteome

Project description:The purpose of the study was to define gastric cell-specific proteomic changes, induced by H. pylori oncogenic strains, that are critical for initiation of the gastric carcinogenic cascade. Gastric cell scrapings were harvested from H. pylori-infected and uninfected animals for quantitative proteomic analyses using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ). Canonical and disease pathway mapping using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) identified significantly altered inflammatory and cancer-signaling pathways that included Rab/Ras signaling proteins.

Iron status and Helicobacter pylori infection in symptomatic children: an international multi-centered study.

Project description:ObjectiveIron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) are global major public health problems, particularly in developing countries. Whilst an association between H. pylori infection and ID/IDA has been proposed in the literature, currently there is no consensus. We studied the effects of H. pylori infection on ID/IDA in a cohort of children undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for upper abdominal pain in two developing and one developed country.MethodsIn total 311 children (mean age 10.7±3.2 years) from Latin America--Belo Horizonte/Brazil (n?=?125), Santiago/Chile (n?=?105)--and London/UK (n?=?81), were studied. Gastric and duodenal biopsies were obtained for evaluation of histology and H. pylori status and blood samples for parameters of ID/IDA.ResultsThe prevalence of H. pylori infection was 27.7% being significantly higher (p<0.001) in Latin America (35%) than in UK (7%). Multiple linear regression models revealed H. pylori infection as a significant predictor of low ferritin and haemoglobin concentrations in children from Latin-America. A negative correlation was observed between MCV (r?=?-0.26; p?=?0.01) and MCH (r?=?-0.27; p?=?0.01) values and the degree of antral chronic inflammation, and between MCH and the degree of corpus chronic (r?=?-0.29, p?=?0.008) and active (r?=?-0.27, p?=?0.002) inflammation.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that H. pylori infection in children influences the serum ferritin and haemoglobin concentrations, markers of early depletion of iron stores and anaemia respectively.

Helicobacter pylori genome evolution during human infection.

Project description:High genetic diversity is a hallmark of the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori. We used 454 sequencing technology to perform whole-genome comparisons for five sets of H. pylori strains that had been sequentially cultured from four chronically infected Colombians (isolation intervals=3-16 y) and one human volunteer experimentally infected with H. pylori as part of a vaccine trial. The four sets of genomes from Colombian H. pylori differed by 27-232 isolated SNPs and 16-441 imported clusters of polymorphisms resulting from recombination. Imports (mean length=394 bp) were distributed nonrandomly over the chromosome and frequently occurred in groups, suggesting that H. pylori first takes up long DNA fragments, which subsequently become partially integrated in multiple shorter pieces. Imports were present at significantly increased frequency in members of the hop family of outer membrane gene paralogues, some of which are involved in bacterial adhesion, suggesting diversifying selection. No evidence of recombination and few other differences were identified in the strain pair from an infected volunteer, indicating that the H. pylori genome is stable in the absence of mixed infection. Among these few differences was an OFF/ON switch in the phase-variable adhesin gene hopZ, suggesting strong in vivo selection for this putative adhesin during early colonization.

Project description:In vitro studies have shown that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection induces autophagy in gastric epithelial cells. However, prolonged exposure to H. pylori reduces autophagy by preventing maturation of the autolysosome. The alterations of the autophagy-related genes in H. pylori infection are not yet fully understood. We analyzed autophagy-related gene expression in H. pylori-infected gastric mucosa compared with uninfected gastric mucosa obtained from 136 Bhutanese volunteers with mild dyspeptic symptoms. We also studied single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of autophagy-related gene in 283 Bhutanese participants to identify the influence on susceptibility to H. pylori infection. Microarray analysis of 226 autophagy-related genes showed that 16 genes were upregulated (7%) and nine were downregulated (4%). We used quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction to measure mRNA levels of the downregulated genes (ATG16L1, ATG5, ATG4D, and ATG9A) that were core molecules of autophagy. ATG16L1 and ATG5 mRNA levels in H. pylori-positive specimens (n=86) were significantly less than those in H. pylori-negative specimens (n=50). ATG16L1 mRNA levels were inversely related to H. pylori density. We also compared SNPs of ATG16L1 (rs2241880) among 206 H. pylori-positive and 77 H. pylori-negative subjects. The odds ratio for the presence of H. pylori in the GG genotype was 0.40 (95% CI: 0.18-0.91) relative to the AA/AG genotypes. Autophagy-related gene expression profiling using high-throughput microarray analysis indicated that downregulation of core autophagy machinery genes may depress autophagy functions and possibly provide a better intracellular habit for H. pylori in gastric epithelial cells.

Genomic changes during chronic Helicobacter pylori infection.

Project description:The gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori shows tremendous genetic variability within human populations, both in gene content and at the sequence level. We investigated how this variability arises by comparing the genome content of 21 closely related pairs of isolates taken from the same patient at different time points. The comparisons were performed by hybridization with whole-genome DNA microarrays. All loci where microarrays indicated a genomic change were sequenced to confirm the events. The number of genomic changes was compared to the number of homologous replacement events without loss or gain of genes that we had previously determined by multilocus sequence analysis and mathematical modeling based on the sequence data. Our analysis showed that the great majority of genetic changes were due to homologous recombination, with 1/650 events leading to a net gain or loss of genes. These results suggest that adaptation of H. pylori to the host individual may principally occur through sequence changes rather than loss or gain of genes.

Toll-like receptor 10 in Helicobacter pylori infection

Project description:Helicobacter pylori is a highly successful and important human pathogen that causes chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer diseases and gastric cancer. Innate immunity plays an important role of the primary defense against pathogens and epidemiological studies have suggested a role of toll-like receptor 1 (TLR1) in the risk of H. pylori acquisition. We performed microarray analysis of gastric mucosal biopsy specimens from H. pylori-positive and uninfected subjects; infection was associated with an ~15-fold up-regulation of TLR10 (p <0.001). Quantitative RT-PCR confirmed TLR10 mRNA levels were increased 3-fold in H. pylori-infection (p <0.001) and immunohistochemistory using anti-TLR10 polyclonal antibodies showed increased TLR10 expression in gastric epithelial cells of infected individuals. In vitro experiments where H. pylori was co-cultured with NCI-N87 gastric cells showed significant H. pylori-specific up-regulation of TLR10 mRNA levels and a correlation with TLR2 mRNA levels (R = 0.87, P <0.001). We compared combinations of TLRs for their ability to mediate NF-_B activation. NF-_B activation was increased following exposure to heat killed H. pylori or H. pylori-LPS only with the TLR2/TLR10 heterodimer. These findings suggest TLR10 is a functional receptor involved in the innate immune response to H. pylori infection and that TLR2/TLR10 heterodimer possibly functions in the recognition of H. pylori-LPS.

CD300E is activated by Helicobacter pylori macrophages infection

Project description:Macrophages are important cells involved in infections responses. They are mediators of gastritis in acute Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection. After macrophages infection with Hp one of the most up-regulated protein is CD300E. To identify effects of CD300E activation in macrophages an agonistic antibody was used to activate CD300E and effects on gene expression were monitored.
