Vitro Analysis

ABSTRACT Secretion of proteins by Helicobacter pylori may contribute to gastric inflammation and epithelial damage. An in vitro analysis was designed to identify proteins released by mechanisms other than nonspecific lysis. The radioactivity of proteins in the supernatant was compared with that of the intact organism by two-dimensional gel phosphorimaging following a 4-h pulse-chase. The ratio of the amount of UreB, a known cytoplasmic protein, in the supernatant to that in the pellet was found to be 0.25, and this was taken as an index of lysis during the experiments (n = 6). Ratios greater than that of UreB were used to distinguish proteins that were selectively released into the medium. Thus, proteins enriched more than 10-fold in the supernatant compared to UreB were identified by mass spectrometry. Sixteen such proteins were present in the supernatant: VacA; a conserved secreted protein (HP1286); putative peptidyl cis-trans isomerase (HP0175); six proteins encoded by HP0305, HP0231, HP0973, HP0721, HP0129, and HP0902; thioredoxin (HP1458); single-stranded-DNA-binding 12RNP2 precursor (HP0827); histone-like DNA-binding protein HU (HP0835); ribosomal protein L11 (HP1202); a putative outer membrane protein (HP1564); and outer membrane proteins Omp21 (HP0913) and Omp20 (HP0912). All except HP0902, thioredoxin, HP0827, HP0835, and HP1202 had a signal peptide. When nalidixic acid, a DNA synthesis inhibitor, was added to inhibit cell division but not protein synthesis, to decrease possible contamination due to outer membrane shedding, two outer membrane proteins (Omp21 and Omp20) disappeared from the supernatant, and the amount of VacA also decreased. Thus, 13 proteins were still enriched greater than 10-fold in the medium after nalidixic acid treatment, suggesting these were released specifically, possibly by secretion. These proteins may be implicated in H. pylori-induced effects on the gastric epithelium.

Abstract Background Helicobacter pylori is a pathogenic bacterium that causes various gastrointestinal diseases in the human stomach. H. pylori is well adapted to the human stomach but does not easily infect other animals. As a model animal, Mongolian gerbils are often used, however, the genome of the inoculated H. pylori may accumulate mutations to adapt to the new host. To investigate mutations occurring in H. pylori after infection in Mongolian gerbils, we compared the whole genome sequence of TN2 wild type strain (TN2wt) and next generation sequencing data of retrieved strains from the animals after different lengths of infection. Results We identified mutations in 21 loci of 17 genes of the post-inoculation strains. Of the 17 genes, five were outer membrane proteins that potentially influence on the colonization and inflammation. Missense and nonsense mutations were observed in 15 and 6 loci, respectively. Multiple mutations were observed in three genes. Mutated genes included babA, tlpB, and gltS, which are known to be associated with adaptation to murine. Other mutations were involved with chemoreceptor, pH regulator, and outer membrane proteins, which also have potential to influence on the adaptation to the new host. Conclusions We confirmed mutations in genes previously reported to be associated with adaptation to Mongolian gerbils. We also listed up genes that mutated during the infection to the gerbils, though it needs experiments to prove the influence on adaptation.

The human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori expresses several putative outer-membrane proteins (OMPs), but the role of individual OMPs in colonization of the stomach by H. pylori is still poorly understood. The role of four such OMPs (AlpA, AlpB, OipA and HopZ) in a guinea pig model of H. pylori infection has been investigated. Single alpA, alpB, hopZ and oipA isogenic mutants were constructed in the guinea pig-adapted, wild-type H. pylori strain GP15. Guinea pigs were inoculated intragastrically with the wild-type strain, single mutants or a mixture of the wild-type and a single mutant in a 1 : 1 ratio. Three weeks after infection, H. pylori could be isolated from stomach sections of all animals that were infected with the wild-type, the hopZ mutant or the oipA mutant, but from only five of nine (P = 0.18) and one of seven (P = 0.02) animals that were infected with the alpA or alpB mutants, respectively. The hopZ and oipA mutants colonized the majority of animals that were inoculated with the strain mixture, whereas alpA and alpB mutants could not be isolated from animals that were infected with the strain mixture (P < 0.01). Specific IgG antibody responses were observed in all animals that were infected with either the wild-type or a mutant, but IgG levels were lower in animals that were infected with either the alpA or the alpB mutants, compared to the wild-type strain (P < 0.05). In conclusion, absence of AlpA or AlpB is a serious disadvantage for colonization of the stomach by H. pylori.
