Helicobacter pylori-induced changes in miRNA expression in human gastric epithelial cells

ABSTRACT: H. pylori infection of human gastric epithelial cells (GEC) represses H,K-ATPase alpha subunit (HK-alpha) gene transcription through NF-Kappa B p50 homodimer binding to HK-alpha promoter. The bacterial cagA and slt gene products have been implicated in HK-alpha repression, which facilitates gastric H. pylori colonization and may underlie transient clinical hypochlorhydria. We hypothesized that H. pylori also regulates H,K-ATPase expression post-transcriptionally by micro-RNA interaction with HK-alpha mRNA. Our microarray experiment examined the effect of infection by wildtype H. pylori infection or a delta-cagA H. pylori mutant on miRNA expression of human gastric cells (AGS). Our results indicate that H. pylori infection up-regulates GEC miRNAs that target the HK-alpha 3' UTR and block tr
