Project description:The present study was aimed at analyzing (i) the biological cost of RNA polymerase (rpoB) mutations conferring rifampin resistance on H.pylori, (ii) the relationship between the cost of rpoB mutations and the chromosomal mutaion, (iii) the relationship between the cost of rpoB mutations and the transcription profile of sensitive and resistantrif strains of H.pylori (iv) and rpoB mutations in view of the possible fitness burden associated with resistance to another antibiotics. H.pylori reference strain 26695 was routinely maintained on Columbia agar plates and H. pylori-selective antibiotic mix Dent. Liquid culture was grown in BHI broth. Both plates and broth cultures were incubated at 37C under atmosphere enriched with 5% CO2 for 2-3 days . Mutant strains were selected by culturing H. pylori 26695 on selective plates containing rifampicin. In 5 days resistant colonies were picked up and passed under rifampicin pressure. RNA isolated was reverse transcribed and used to probe H. pylori home-made arrays
Project description:Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a human pathogen that infects almost half of the world’s population. Infection with H. pylori is frequently associated with chronic gastritis and can even lead to gastric and duodenal ulcers and gastric cancer. Although the persistent colonization of H. pylori and the development of H. pylori-associated gastritis remain poorly understood, it is believed that, in gastric mucosa, the modulated gastric epithelial cells (GECs) by H. pylori are key contributors. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in Helicobacter pylori infected-gastric epithelial cell line AGS cells and identified up-regulated genes induced by Helicobacter pylori infection.
Project description:Dear Sir or Madam, we report an in-depth proteogenomics study of Helicobacter pylori strain 26695 and provide the supporting MS data via ProteomExchange. The study includes 2 biological replicates with 6 different datasets: G1: in-gel digestion with trypsin, replicate 1 G2: in-gel digestion with trypsin, replicate 2 T1: SEC fractionation of low molecular weight (LMW) proteins and subsequent trypsin digestion, replicate 1 T2: SEC fractionation of LMW proteins and subsequent trypsin digestion, replicate 2 A1: SEC fractionation of LMW proteins and subsequent AspN digestion, replicate 1 A2: SEC fractionation of LMW proteins and subsequent AspN digestion, replicate 2 L1: SEC fractionation of LMW proteins and subsequent LysC digestion, replicate 1 L2: SEC fractionation of LMW proteins and subsequent LysC digestion, replicate 2 In our proteogenomics approach, we could identify four previously missing protein annotations and were able to correct sequences of six protein coding regions. Furthermore we identified signal peptidase cleavage sites for 72 different proteins. MGFs were generated by Maxquant 1.1 [1] using recalibration of peptide parent masses. For PRIDE (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride) submission, we made an additional database search with Mascot and X!Tandem using the SearchGUI [2]. Therefore we searched against a NCBI database of H. pylori strain 26695 complemented with the sequence corrections, signal peptide cleavage sites and missing annotations with the same configurations as described in materials and methods. For pride xml export we used the software PeptideShaker (http://code.google.com/p/peptide-shaker/). The complemented database has entries which will be submitted to the UniProtKB via SPIN. The entries have the according SPIN number as accession number. The NCBI accession numbers for the shortened sequences due to signal peptide cleavage are extended with “_1”. The fasta database is added to the submission.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection is an important factor in the occurrence of human gastric diseases, but its pathogenic mechanism is not clear. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent reversible methylation modification in mammalian RNA and it plays a crucial role in controlling many biological processes. We used MeRIP-seq technology to sequence the GES-1 cells infected with Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) for 48 h.
Project description:Helicobacter pylori infection reprograms host gene expression and influences various cellular processes, which have been investigated by cDNA microarray in vitro culture cells and in vivo patients of the chronic abdominal complaint. In this study,the effects of H. pylori infection on host gene expression in the gastric antral mucosa of patients with chronic gastritis were examined.
