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:Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and excessive salt intake are known as important risk factors for stomach cancer in humans. However, interactions of these two factors with gene expression profiles during gastric carcinogenesis remain unclear. In this study, we established a mouse gastric tumor model combining a chemical carcinogen, H. pylori infection and a high-salt diet. The tumor incidence and multiplicity in N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-treated mice were significantly increased by combination of H. pylori with a high-salt diet. In addition, detailed examination indicated that excessive salt could regulate progression of gastric tumor. Global gene expression profiles in glandular stomach of the mouse model were investigated by cDNA microarray analysis, and 36 and 31 more than twofold up-regulated and down-regulated genes, respectively, were detected in the H. pylori-infection and high-salt diet combined group compared with the other groups. Quantitative RT-PCR confirmed significant over-expression of several candidate genes including Cd177, Reg3g, and Muc13. These results suggest that our mouse model combined with H. pylori infection and high-salt diet is useful for gene expression profiling in gastric carcinogenesis.
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.
Project description:In this study, we tested the hypothesis that high salt concentrations might alter gene expression in H. pylori. Analysis here provides into the role that salt may play in H. pylori pathogenesis. . Keywords: comparison of salt reponsive gene expression, dose response

These results suggest that our mouse model combined with H. pylori infection and high-salt diet is useful for gene expression profiling in gastric carcinogenesis. Five- to six-week-old male C57BL/6J mice (CLEA Japan, Tokyo, Japan) were inoculated with Helicobacter pylori (Sydney strain 1) (Sample No. 2 and 4) or Brucella broth (Sample No. 1 and 3). The animals were administered 120 ppm N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) in their drinking water on alternate weeks (total exposure, 5 weeks). Mice were given basal diet (CE-2, CLEA Japan) (Sample No. 1 and 2) or high-salt diet containing 10% NaCl (Sample No. 3 and 4). At 40 weeks, the animals were subjected to deep anesthesia and laparotomy with excision of the stomach.
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.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori are gram-negative bacteria that colonize the human stomach and are the major etiological factor in gastric carcinoma development. The aim of this work was to evaluate changes in gene expression in gastric cells induced by H. pylori.
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. The gastric antral mucosa was obtained from a total of 6 untreated patients undergoing gastroscopic and pathologic confirmation of chronic superficial gastritis. Three patients infected by H. pylori and 3 patients uninfected were used to cDNA microarray experiment.
