Helicobacter pylori induces CCL20 expression.

چکیده
CCL20 attracts immature dendritic cells and memory T cells and plays a role on mucosal surfaces in inflammation. However, whether Helicobacter pylori infection induces CCL20 in human gastric epithelial cells remains to be determined. The aim of this study was to analyze the molecular mechanism of H. pylori-induced CCL20 expression. Expression of CCL20 mRNA was assessed by reverse transcription-PCR. Five normal and five H. pylori-infected gastric tissue samples were stained immunohistochemically for CCL20. A luciferase assay was used to monitor activation of the CCL20 gene promoter, and an electrophoretic mobility shift assay was used to explore the binding of transcription factors to this promoter. The CCL20 expression in epithelial cells of H. pylori-positive tissues was higher than that in H. pylori-negative tissues. H. pylori induced CCL20 expression in gastric epithelial cell lines, and the induction was dependent on an intact cag pathogenicity island. Activation of the CCL20 promoter by H. pylori occurred through the action of NF-kappaB. Transfection of IkappaB kinase and NF-kappaB-inducing kinase dominant negative mutants inhibited H. pylori-mediated activation of CCL20. Treatment with an inhibitor of Hsp90 suppressed H. pylori-induced CCL20 mRNA due to deactivation of NF-kappaB. Collectively, these results suggest that H. pylori activates NF-kappaB through an intracellular signaling pathway that involves IkappaB kinase and NF-kappaB-inducing kinase, leading to CCL20 gene transcription, and that Hsp90 is a crucial regulator of H. pylori-induced CCL20 expression, presumably contributing to the immune response in H. pylori.

IL-22 Negatively Regulates Helicobacter pylori-Induced CCL20 Expression in Gastric Epithelial Cells
Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative bacterium that infects the human gastric mucosa and causes various gastric diseases. H. pylori infection induces the production of inflammatory chemokine CCL20 in gastric mucosa and leads to gastric inflammation. Given that the IL-22/IL-22R axis plays a critical role in the regulation of homeostasis and inflammation of epithelial cells at barrier surfaces,...
متن کاملCCL20/CCR6-mediated migration of regulatory T cells to the Helicobacter pylori-infected human gastric mucosa
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori-induced peptic ulceration is less likely to occur in patients with a strong gastric anti-inflammatory regulatory T cell (Treg) response. Migration of Tregs into the gastric mucosa is therefore important. OBJECTIVE To identify the homing receptors involved in directing Tregs to the gastric mucosa, and investigate how H pylori stimulates the relevant chemokine res...

Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with an inflammatory response in the gastric mucosa, leading to chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. There is increased T-cell infiltration at the site of infection with H. pylori. CCR6, a specific beta-chemokine receptor for CCL20 (MIP-3alpha/LARC/exodus), has recently been reported to mediate lymphocyte homeostasis and immune respon...
