ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the influence of different dose of Helicobacter pylori on the expression of transforming growth factorβ(TGF-β1) and B7-H1 in the infected gastric mucosal epithelial cell and the bacterial factors which influence the expression of TGF-β1.To confirm that H.pylorican induce the expression of TGF-β1 and B7-H1 to inhibit the host immune function in gastric mucosal epithelial cell.Methods (1) We investigated the expression of TGF-β1 of human gastric mucosal epithelial cells infected with different concentration(1.0 × 109 CFU/ml,4.0 × 109 CFU/ml,8.0 × 109 C FU/ml) of H.pylori(NCTC 11637) in different time-point(0 h,0.5 h,1 h,1.5 h,2 h,4 h,8 h,12 h),and compared with the expression of TGF-β1 between the deactivated H.pylori group and activated H.pylori group.The blank group is the gastric mucosa epithelial cells which does not infect H.pylori.To detect expression of TGF-β1 in infected cell culture supernatant by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) and the expression of B7-H1 mRNA by in situ hybridization.(2)At the same time,the middle concentration of deactivated H.pyloriand in vitro gastric mucosal cells were incubated for 2 h and 12 h,to detect expression of TGF-β1 in the cells and cell culture supernatant.(3)In vitro gastric mucosal cells were incubated with H.pylori bacterial supernatant and sedimentation by ultrasonic crushing and centrifugation and with H.pyloribacterial supernatant and sedimentation after boiling respectively,to detect expression of TGF-β1 in the cells and cell culture supernatant after 2 h,12 h.Results (1)Compared to the control group,the expression of TGF-β1 was significantly increased after stimulation with different concentration of activated H.pylori in different time-point(P ＜0.05).The expression of TGF-β1 secretion group has a similar dynamic trend,and the highest expression is the middle concentration group(P ＜0.05).(2)There was no difference between the middle concentration of deactivated H.pylori group and the same concentration of activated H.pylorigroup(P ＞ 0.05).(3) The expression of TGF-β1 in the H.pylori bacterial supernatant group was significantly increased higher than the blank group and the H.pylori bacterial sedimentation group(P ＜0.05),and the H.pylori bacterial supernatant group after boiling was significantly lower than the H.pylori bacterial supernatant group(P ＜ 0.05),but there was no difference between H.pylori sedimentation group after boiling and not boiling(P ＞ 0.05).The B7-H1 expression of different concentration groups which the H.pylori and gastric mucosal epithelial cells cocultured 12 h are higher than the blank group(P ＜ 0.05) by in situ hybridization,and the middle concentration group is the highest expression.TGF-β1 and B7-H1 mRNA are positively correlated(r,=0.628,P ＜0.01).Conclusion H.pylori can induce the gastric mucosal epithelial cells to express the TGF-β1,the factor was the soluble protein in the H.pylori thalline.At the same time,H.pylorican induce the B7-H1 expression increased.In gastric mucosal epithelial cells,TGF-β1 and B7-H1 mRNA are positively correlated.So H.pylori can inhibit the host immune response and participate the process of immune escape by increased the expressions of TGF-β1 and B7-H1.
ABSTRACT
To investigate the the possibility to utilize the cellular fatty acid (CFA) information as a method in Brucella typing, 90 Brucella strains were subjected to the study on CFAs, and all the experimental strains were inoculated on Brucella Agar plates for 48 hours. After that, cells were harvested, saponificated, methylated and extracted to provide fatty acids methylesters for gas chromatography analysis. Based on the CFAs data matrix, dendrogram of 90 experimental strains was generated by SPSS11.5 software package. As shown in the dendrogram, 90 Brucella strains could be divided into 5 clusters. The first cluster included some species of Brucella abortus,Brucella melitensis,Brucella suis, Brucella ovis; and some of the variant strains of Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis and the typical strain of Brucella neotomae. The second cluster included typical strains of Brucella suis (1,2,3 and 5 types); vaccine strains of Brucella suis S2; vaccine strains of Brucella melitensis M28、Rev.1 and typical strain of Brucella ovis. The third cluster included some of Brucella melitensis; some of the variant strains of Brucella melitensis; some of Brucella abortus(3,6 types); Brucella canis and Brucella ovis. The fourth cluster was the typical strain of Brucella canis.and the fifth cluster included some of Brucella melitensis(1 type); some of Brucella abortus (1 type); some of the variant strains of Brucella melitensis and Brucella suis(1,3 type). It is apparent that CFAs information can be used in brucella typing. and Brucella suis and Brucella canis can be distinguished by the difference in the CFA contents of 3 fatty acids 19:0CYCLOω8c, 18:1ω7c and 16:0. The results of CFAs typing in Brucella species show that Brucella canis includes 2 biovars at least and the high homologization of Brucella abortus (3 type) and Brucella abortus(6 type) can be found.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the influence of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) on the proliferation, apoptosis and expression of p27kipl protein of gastric epithelial cells in vitro. Methods SC, C-7901 cell pro-liferation was examined by flow cytometry after incubation with different concentration of NCTC11637. The effect of NCTC11637 on cell apoptosis was also evaluated by flow cytometryo And the expression of p27kipl of gastric epithelial cells was detected by immunohistochemical analysis and in situ hybridization, respectively. Results Cell proliferation was enhanced when co-incubated with the Hp in low concentration (3.4 x 104 to 1.9 x 105 CFU/ml) but inhibited in higher concentration (≥4.8×106CFU/ml). However, cell apoptosis was increase when co-incubated with the Hp in high concentration (≥9.6 ×105 CFU/ml) showing concen-tration dependent picture. In addition, the co-incubation of SGC-7901 with Hp led to decrease of the expres-sion of p27kipl protein but not mRNA in a Hp concentration dependent way. Conclusion Hp could effect the gastric epithelial cells apoptosis and proliferation directly and influence the expression of p27kips protein which might facilitate gastric carcinoma.
