Isolation Method and Characterization of Outer Membranes Vesicles of Helicobacter pylori Grown in a Chemically Defined Medium.

ABSTRACT: 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, as assessed by nanoparticle tracking analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and proteomic analyses, confirming the reliability of the protocol. Analysis of the proteome of OMVs isolated from H. pylori F12-cholesterol cultures at different time points of bacterial growth revealed differentially expressed proteins, including the vacuolating cytotoxin VacA. 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.

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.

Characterization of human dental pulp cells grown in chemically defined serum-free medium.

Project description:Dental pulp cells (DPCs) are promising candidates for use as transplantable cells in regenerative medicine. However, ex vivo expansion of these cells typically requires culture media containing fetal bovine serum, which may cause infection and immunological reaction following transplantation. In addition, the proliferation and differentiation of DPCs markedly depend upon serum batches. Therefore, the present study examined whether DPCs could be expanded under serum-free conditions. DPCs obtained from four donors were identified to proliferate actively in the serum-free medium, STK2, when compared with those cells in control medium (Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing 10% serum). The high proliferative potential with STK2 was maintained through multiple successive culture passages. DNA microarray analyses demonstrated that the gene expression profile of DPCs grown in STK2 was similar to that of cells grown in the control medium; however, a number of genes related to cell proliferation, including placental growth factor and inhibin-βE, were upregulated in the STK2 cultures. Following induction of osteogenesis, DPCs grown in STK2 induced alkaline phosphatase activity and calcification at higher levels compared with the control medium cultures, indicating maintenance of differentiation potential in STK2. This serum-free culture system with DPCs may have applications in further experimental studies and as a clinical strategy in regenerative medicine.

Transcriptomic remodeling of gastric cells by Helicobacter pylori Outer Membrane Vesicles

Project description:Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that colonizes the human stomach, like all Gram-negative bacteria spontaneously shed outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). OMVs, which act as a delivery system for bacterial components, are involved in bacterial-host interactions and thus contribute to pathogenesis. In this study, to understand the gene expression changes that human gastric epithelial cells might undergo when exposed to H. pylori-OMVs, we profiled the transcriptomic changes of the MKN74 gastric cell line induced by OMVs compared to control cells and H. pylori-infected cells, using the Ion AmpliSeq™ Transcriptome Human Gene Expression Panel. The top enriched pathways in the OMVs challenge condition included amino acid-related metabolic pathways, mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling, autophagy, and ferroptosis. The cell cycle, DNA replication, and repair pathways were the top diminished pathways. The transcriptomic changes induced by OMVs were largely consistent with those of the bacteria, although often at low expression levels, suggesting that their effects will mostly reinforce those of the bacterium itself. Our data provide a valuable portrayal of the transcriptomic remodeling of gastric cells by H. pylori-OMVs, which can be further dissected regarding the underlying molecular mediators and explored to understand the pathobiology of the full-spectrum of H. pylori-mediated diseases.

Chemically defined medium and Caenorhabditis elegans.

Project description:BackgroundC. elegans has been established as a powerful genetic system. Use of a chemically defined medium (C. elegans Maintenance Medium (CeMM)) now allows standardization and systematic manipulation of the nutrients that animals receive. Liquid cultivation allows automated culturing and experimentation and should be of use in large-scale growth and screening of animals.ResultsWe find that CeMM is versatile and culturing is simple. CeMM can be used in a solid or liquid state, it can be stored unused for at least a year, unattended actively growing cultures may be maintained longer than with standard techniques, and standard C. elegans protocols work well with animals grown in defined medium. We also find that there are caveats to using defined medium. Animals in defined medium grow more slowly than on standard medium, appear to display adaptation to the defined medium, and display altered growth rates as they change the composition of the defined medium.ConclusionsAs was suggested with the introduction of C. elegans as a potential genetic system, use of defined medium with C. elegans should prove a powerful tool.

Outer Membrane Vesicles of Helicobacter pylori 7.13 as Adjuvants Promote Protective Efficacy Against Helicobacter pylori Infection.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori), a gram-negative bacterium in the human stomach with global prevalence, is relevant to chronic gastrointestinal diseases. Due to its increasing drug resistance and the low protective efficacy of some anti-H. pylori vaccines, it is necessary to find a suitable adjuvant to improve antigen efficiency. In our previous study, we determined that outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), a multicomponent secretion generated by gram-negative bacteria, of H. pylori were safe and could induce long-term and robust immune responses against H. pylori in mice. In this study, we employed two common vaccines, outer membrane proteins (OMPs) and whole cell vaccine (WCV) to assess the adjuvanticity of OMVs in mice. A standard adjuvant, cholera toxin (CT), was used as a control. Purified H. pylori OMVs used as adjuvants generated lasting anti-H. pylori resistance for 12 weeks. Additionally, both systematic and gastric mucosal immunity, as well as humoral immunity, of mice immunized with vaccine and OMVs combinations were significantly enhanced. Moreover, OMVs efficiently promoted Th1 immune response, but the response was skewed toward Th2 and Th17 immunity when compared with that induced by the CT adjuvant. Most importantly, OMVs as adjuvants enhanced the eradication of H. pylori. Thus, OMVs have potential applications as adjuvants in the development of a new generation of vaccines to treat H. pylori infection.

Outer Membrane Vesicles Secreted by Helicobacter pylori Transmitting Gastric Pathogenic Virulence Factors.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is known to be a major pathogen causing gastric diseases through its direct localization in gastric epithelium cells. H. pylori releases outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) throughout the growth process. The content, function, and mechanism of H. pylori OMVs in gastric epithelial cells remain unclear. In this study, we extracted and characterized H. pylori OMVs of two strains (standard strain NCTC11637 and clinical strain Hp-400) and analyzed the specific content by proteomic technology. We identified more than 400 proteins in H. pylori OMVs. In addition, we investigated the impact of H. pylori OMVs on cellular functions by detecting proteomic changes in GES1 cells. GES1 cells cocultured with increasing concentrations of H. pylori OMVs were subjected to quantitative proteomic analyses using label-free methods for relative quantitation. The results showed that a total of 4261 proteins were verified, 153 of which were significantly altered in abundance when cocultured with NCTC11637 OMVs, and a total of 4234 proteins in Hp-400 OMVs, 390 of which were significantly altered. Gene ontology analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway mapping identified significantly altered inflammatory and cancer signaling pathways, including metabolic pathways and the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Furthermore, we explored the proteomic changes in GES1 cells induced by H. pylori. Bioinformatics analysis showed that changes in multiple pathways coincided with OMV-mediated proteomic changes. Based on these results, H. pylori induced pathogenicity in epithelial cells at least partially by secreting OMVs that mediated dramatic and specific proteomic changes in host cells. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifiers PXD025216, PXD025259, and PXD025281.

production, composition, and proteomes of Helicobacter pylori outer membrane vesicles

Project description:OMVs were isolated from H. pylori grown during pH 5.3 conditions with the addition of urea to supplement bacterial growth, or during pH 7.2 conditions with or without the addition of urea. Growth of H. pylori during acidic conditions reduced the quantity and size of OMVs produced. Additionally, acidic growth conditions resulted in the production of OMVs with increased packaging of protein, DNA, and RNA compared to OMVs produced during neutral growth conditions. A global data-independent acquisition proteomic analysis comparing the proteomes of OMVs to their parent bacteria demonstrated significant differences in the enrichment of proteins within bacteria and OMVs, supporting that differing conditions of growth impacts OMV composition. We also identified select and marginal differences in the enrichment of proteins within OMVs produced during different pH growth conditions. Overall, our findings reveal that growth of H. pylori during altered pH growth conditions is a factor that determines OMV proteomes, which may affect their subsequent functions in the host.

Characterization of human dental pulp cells grown in chemically defined serum-free medium

Project description:Dental pulp cells obtained from several donors proliferated actively in a serum-free medium STK2. The growth rate of dental pulp cells from most donors was higher in the serum-free medium than that in a medium containing 10% serum. DNA microarray analyses showed that gene expression profile of dental pulp cells grown in the serum-free medium was similar to that of cells grown in a medium containing 10% serum. However, several genes related to cell proliferation were up-regulated in dental pulp cells grown in the serum-free medium.

Identification and characterization of the α-CA in the outer membrane vesicles produced by Helicobacter pylori.

Project description:The genome of Helicobacter pylori encodes for carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) belonging to the α- and β-CA classes, which together with urease, have a pivotal role in the acid acclimation of the microorganism within the human stomach. Recently, in the exoproteome of H. pylori, a CA with no indication of the corresponding class was identified. Here, using the protonography and the mass spectrometry, a CA belonging to the α-class was detected in the outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) generated by planktonic and biofilm phenotypes of four H. pylori strains. The amount of this metalloenzyme was higher in the planktonic OMVs (pOMVs) than in the biofilm OMVs (bOMVs). Furthermore, the content of α-CA increases over time in the pOMVs. The identification of the α-CA in pOMVs and bOMVs might shed new light on the role of this enzyme in the colonization, survival, persistence, and pathogenesis of H. pylori.

Helicobacter pylori outer membrane vesicles modulate proliferation and interleukin-8 production by gastric epithelial cells.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori infection, which is always associated with gastritis, can progress to ulceration or malignancy. The diversity in clinical outcomes is partly attributed to the expression of virulence factors and adhesins by H. pylori. However, H. pylori may not have to adhere to the epithelium to cause gastritis. We hypothesize that outer membrane vesicles (OMV), which are constantly shed from the surface of H. pylori, play a role as independent activators of host cell responses. In this study, we found that low doses of OMV from cag PAI+ toxigenic and cag PAI- nontoxigenic strains increased proliferation of AGS gastric epithelial cells. At higher doses, we detected growth arrest, increased toxicity, and interleukin-8 (IL-8) production. The only strain differences detected were vacuolation with the toxigenic strain and higher levels of IL-8 production with OMV from the cag PAI- nontoxigenic strain. In summary, we suggest that constitutively shed OMV play a role in promoting the low-grade gastritis associated with H. pylori infection.
