Project description:We used the rhesus macaque model to study the effects of the cag pathogenicity island (cag PAI) on the H. pylori host-pathogen interaction. Specific pathogen free (SPF) monkeys with no prior exposure to H. pylori were experimentally challenged with wild type (WT) H. pylori strain J166 (N=4) or its cag PAI isogenic knockout (KO, N=4). Animals underwent endoscopy before and 1, 4, 8, and 13 wks after challenge. Gastric biopsies were collected for quantitative culture, histopathology, and host gene expression. Quantitative cultures showed that all experimentally challenged animals were infected with WT H. pylori or its isogenic cag PAI KO. Histopathology demonstrated that inflammation and expansion of the lamina propria were attenuated in animals infected with KO compared to WT. Microarray analysis was performed on challenged animals before and 1 and 13 wks after challenge, and on unchallenged control animals (N=4). Of the 119 up-regulated genes in the WT-infected animals, several encode innate antimicrobial; effector proteins, including elafin, siderocalin, DMBT, DUOX2, and several novel paralogues of human defensin-2. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that high level induction of each of these genes was dependent upon the presence of the cag PAI. Immunohistochemistry confirmed increased defensin epithelial cell staining in animals challenged with WT H. pylori compared to either KO-challenged or uninfected control animals. We propose that one function of the cag PAI is to induce an antimicrobial host response that serves to increase the competitive advantage of H. pylori in the gastric niche. Experiment Overall Design: Twelve male and female rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) housed at the California National Primate Research Center (CNPRC) were hand raised by nursery staff to obtain Specific Pathogen (Helicobacter pylori) Free (SPF) experimental animals. At six months of age the animals were documented to be uninfected with H. pylori by serology, histology, and cultures of gastric biopsies using methods reported previously (Solnick et al., 1999). Two experimental groups of four SPF animals were challenged with either wild type (WT) H. pylori J166 or an isogenic PAI knockout (KO). A third group of four SPF animals served as uninoculated controls. Monkeys were housed indoors in separate cages throughout the duration of the experiment. All experiments were approved by the Research Advisory Committee of the CNPRC and the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at the University of California.Antrum and corpus stomach biopsies from rhesus macaques infected with wild type Helicobacter pylori J166, isogenic cag-PAI knockout strain, or mock infected were pooled. Biopsies were taken prior to bacterial inoculation and at 1 and 13 weeks post infection. Control biopsies were taken according to the same time line. Four animals were used for each experimental condition.

Project description:Carcinogenic bacteria, Helicobacter pylori, induce DNA double-strand breaks in infected host cells. Therefore, we have investigated which genes are upregulated after the infection. Although Helicobacter pylori infection is etiologically related to the inflammation-related malignancy, gastric cancers, it role in the molecular pathogenesis of disease remains unclear. In vitro studies have suggested the infection may cause breaks in double-stranded DNA. We used microarray analysis of H. pylori-infected human gastric biopsies to investigate the effect of H. pylori on gene expression genes involved in DNA repair and DNA damage response. Micro-array analysis and immunohistochemistory showed that ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated) was upregulated in H. pylori gastritis but down regulated in the premalignant lesion, intestinal metaplasia. Studies in gastric cancer cell lines showed that H. pylori-infection induced activation of ATM and formation of ?-H2AX. ?-H2AX formation was present following infection with bout cag pathogenicity island (PAI)- positive and negative strains but more robust with cag PAI positive strains consistent with the fact that both cag PAI positive negative strains are associated with gastric cancer but the risk is higher with cag PAI positive strains. Eradication of H. pylori infection is associated with a reduction in cancer risk even in the most high risk populations. These data provide a plausible molecular mechanism for a direct bacterial-host interaction increasing cancer risk. To identify tumor suppressors affected by H. pylori-infection, microarray screening was used to compare the gene expression profiles of AGS cells, a gastric cancer cell line, infected with various mutants of H. pylori.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori has a very plastic genome, reflecting its high rate of recombination and point mutation. This plasticity promotes divergence of the population by the development of subclones and presumably enhances adaptation to host niches. We have investigated the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of two such subclones isolated from one patient as well as the genetic evolution of these isolates during experimental infection. Whole-genome genotyping of the isolates using DNA microarrays revealed that they were more similar to each other than to a panel of other genotyped strains recovered from different hosts. Nonetheless, they still showed significant differences. The genomic evolution of both isolates during the infection of conventionally raised and germ-free mice was monitored over the course of 3 months. The Cag PAI-positive isolate was also surveyed after a 10 month colonization of conventionally raised transgenic animals (n = 9 mice). Microarray analysis of the Cag PAI and sequence analysis of the cagA, recA, and 16S rRNA genes disclosed no changes in recovered isolates. Together, these results reveal that the H. pylori population infecting one individual can undergo significant divergence, creating stable subclones with substantial genotypic and phenotypic differences.

Project description:TC1: gastric epithelial (AGS) cells infected with wild type H. pylori (G27) and isogenic mutants in cagA and vacA for 0, 0.5, 3, 6, and 12 hours. Total RNA was used to make single stranded Cy5 labelled probe and compared to Cy3 labelled probe from uninfected AGS cells. Hybridizations of G27 (trial 4) and cagA- (trial 3) timecourses were done in parallel. A technical replicate of the G27 time course (trial 5) and hybridization of vacA- (trial 3) time course were done in parallel. The cagA 6 and 12 hour time points were technically replicated (trial 4) (the cagA 6 hour sample of trial 3 was lost). TC2: Biological replication and expansion of TC1, using more isogenic mutants and timepoints. AGS cells were mock infected, infected with G27, and isogenic mutants in cagN, cagA, cagE, and a deletion of the cag PAI for 0. 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours. Probe synthesis and hybridization was done as in TC1. Note: there may have been a sample mix-up with PAI 12, swapping it with G27 or cagN 12.

Project description:The model is first model of tissue level cellular immune responses to H. pylori in the publication, "Modeling the role of lanthionine synthetase C-like 2 (LANCL2) in the modulation of immune responses to Helicobacter pylori infection" in PlosOne by Leber, Bassaganya-Riera, Tubau-Juni, Zoccoli-Rodriguez, Viladomiu, Abedi, Lu, and Hontecillas.
Abstract:
Immune responses to Helicobacter pylori are orchestrated through complex balances of host-bacterial interactions, including inflammatory and regulatory immune responses across scales that can lead to the development of the gastric disease or the promotion of beneficial systemic effects. While inflammation in response to the bacterium has been reasonably characterized, the regulatory pathways that contribute to preventing inflammatory events during H. pylori infection are incompletely understood. To aid in this effort, we have generated a computational model incorporating recent developments in the understanding of H. pylori-host interactions. Sensitivity analysis of this model reveals that a regulatory macrophage population is critical in maintaining high H. pylori colonization without the generation of an inflammatory response. To address how this myeloid cell subset arises, we developed a second model describing an intracellular signaling network for the differentiation of macrophages. Modeling studies predicted that LANCL2 is a central regulator of inflammatory and effector pathways and its activation promotes regulatory responses characterized by IL-10 production while suppressing effector responses. The predicted impairment of regulatory macrophage differentiation by the loss of LANCL2 was simulated based on multiscale linkages between the tissue-level gastric mucosa and the intracellular models. The simulated deletion of LANCL2 resulted in a greater clearance of H. pylori, but also greater IFNγ responses and damage to the epithelium. The model predictions were validated within a mouse model of H. pylori colonization in wild-type (WT), LANCL2 whole body KO and myeloid-specific LANCL2-/- (LANCL2Myeloid) mice, which displayed similar decreases in H. pylori burden, CX3CR1+ IL-10-producing macrophages, and type 1 regulatory (Tr1) T cells. This study shows the importance of LANCL2 in the induction of regulatory responses in macrophages and T cells during H. pylori infection.
