Nucleotide oligomerization domain 1 enhances IFN-γ signaling in gastric epithelial cells during Helicobacter pylori infection and exacerbates disease severity.

چکیده
Virulent Helicobacter pylori strains that specifically activate signaling in epithelial cells via the innate immune molecule, nucleotide oligomerization domain 1 (NOD1), are more frequently associated with IFN-γ-dependent inflammation and with severe clinical outcomes (i.e., gastric cancer and peptic ulceration). In cell culture models, we showed that H. pylori activation of the NOD1 pathway caused enhanced proinflammatory signaling in epithelial cells in response to IFN-γ stimulation through the direct effects of H. pylori on two components of the IFN-γ signaling pathway, STAT1 and IFN regulatory factor 1 (IRF1). Specifically, H. pylori activation of the NOD1 pathway was shown to increase the levels of STAT1-Tyr(701)/Ser(727) phosphorylation and IRF1 expression/synthesis in cells, resulting in enhanced production of the NOD1- and IFN-γ-regulated chemokines, IL-8- and IFN-γ-induced protein 10, respectively. Consistent with the notion that heightened proinflammatory signaling in epithelial cells may have an impact on disease severity, we observed significantly increased expression levels of NOD1, CXCL8, IRF1, and CXCL10 in human gastric biopsies displaying severe gastritis, when compared with those without gastritis (p < 0.05, p < 0.001, p < 0.01, and p < 0.05, respectively). Interestingly, NOD1, CXCL8, and IRF1 expression levels were also significantly upregulated in gastric tumor tissues, when compared with paired nontumor samples (p < 0.0001, p < 0.05, and p < 0.05, respectively). Thus, we propose that cross-talk between NOD1 and IFN-γ signaling pathways contribute to H. pylori-induced inflammatory responses, potentially revealing a novel mechanism whereby virulent H. pylori strains promote more severe disease.

Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with gastric epithelial damage, including apoptosis, ulceration, and cancer. Although bacterial factors and the host response are believed to contribute to gastric disease, no receptor has been identified that explains how the bacteria attach and signal the host cell to undergo apoptosis. Using H. pylori as "bait" to capture receptor proteins in solub...
متن کاملEnhanced disease severity in Helicobacter pylori-infected mice deficient in Fas signaling.
Recent evidence suggests that immune-mediated gastric epithelial cell apoptosis through Fas-Fas ligand interactions participates in Helicobacter pylori disease pathogenesis. To define the role of Fas signaling in vivo, H. pylori strain SS1 infection in C57BL/6 mice was compared to that in mice deficient in the Fas ligand (gld). gld mice had a degree of gastritis similar to that of C57BL/6 mice ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The cytosolic host protein nucleotide binding oligomerization domain 1 (Nod1) has emerged as a key pathogen recognition molecule for innate immune responses in epithelial cells. The purpose of the study was to elucidate the mechanism by which Helicobacter pylori infection leads to transepithelial neutrophil migration in a Nod1-mediated manner. METHODS Human epithelial cell lin...
