Epithelial and bacterial metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in H. pylori infection of human gastric cells.

چکیده
To test the hypothesis that Helicobacter pylori regulates gastric cell secretion of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), culture media from infected and uninfected human gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS) cells were analyzed by zymography, MMP activity assays, and immunoblotting. AGS cells secreted gelatinolytic (prominently 90 kDa) and caseinolytic (110 kDa) activity together with MMP-1, MMP-3, and TIMP-1, TIMP-2, and TIMP-3 isoforms. H. pylori secreted caseinolytic activity (60 kDa), MMP-3-like enzyme activity, and TIMP-3 immunoreactivity. H. pylori infection increased the 110-kDa caseinolytic activity and induced new gelatinolytic (~35 kDa) and caseinolytic (22 kDa) activities. Infection also increased both basal secretion and activation of MMP-1 and MMP-3, enhanced TIMP-3 secretion, and increased the formation of MMP-3/TIMP-3 complexes. TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 secretion were unchanged. Normal AGS cells showed a pancellular distribution of TIMP-3, with redistribution of immunoreactivity toward sites of bacterial attachment after H. pylori infection. The data indicate that MMP and TIMP secretion by AGS cells is modulated by H. pylori infection and that host MMP-3 and a TIMP-3 homolog expressed by H. pylori mediate at least part of the host cell response to infection.

Animal studies showed that male gastric tissues respond more rapidly to Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection but the possible mechanisms remained unclear. There is no data about gender specific activity of Androgen receptor (AR) as an independent unfavorable prognostic factor in gastric cancer and its interactions with H.pylori and angiogenesis in both genders. To compare the pathogenesis o...

Rarely, do we think of cancer as “bacterial”, such that we are often told that “cancer is NOT contagious” Persistent bacterial infections cause persistent irritation of the host’s defense systems, which when ineffective in eradication of the infection, result in a multitude of self-destructive damages. This in some cases occurs to such severity that the resu...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram-negative microaerophilic bacterium that has been introduced as a cause of mucosal inflammation and gastric cancer. The most important pathogenic factors are VacA and CagA, which are associated with increased disease severity in clinical strains. Autophagy is a protected lysosomal degradation pathway degrading cytoplasmic content and is important in host...
