Temperatures Outside the Optimal Range for Helicobacter pylori Increase Its Harboring within Candida Yeast Cells.

ABSTRACT: Helicobacter pylori is capable of entering into yeast, but the factors driving this endosymbiosis remain unknown. This work aimed to determine if temperatures outside the optimal range for H. pylori increase its harboring within Candida. H. pylori strains were co-cultured with Candida strains in Brucella broth supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum and incubated at 4, 25, 37 or 40 °C. After co-culturing, yeasts containing bacteria-like bodies (Y-BLBs) were observed by optical microscopy, and the bacterium were identified as H. pylori by FISH. The H. pylori 16S rRNA gene was amplified from the total DNA of Y-BLBs. The viability of intra-yeast H. pylori cells was confirmed using a viability assay. All H. pylori strains were capable of entering into all Candida strains assayed. The higher percentages of Y-BLBs are obtained at 40 °C with any of the Candida strains. H pylori also increased its harboring within yeast in co-cultures incubated at 25 °C when compared to those incubated at 37 °C. In conclusion, although H. pylori grew significantly at 40 °C, this temperature increased its harboring within Candida. The endosymbiosis between both microorganisms is strain-dependent and permits bacterial cells to remain viable under the stressing environmental conditions assayed.

Project description:Infection with Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) may cause dyspepsia and/or unexplained functional nonspecific, gastrointestinal complaints of the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) spectrum. Hitherto, in H. pylori infected patients with symptoms of the IBS spectrum the occurrence of additional food intolerance/malabsorption is not evaluated. We used a retrospective analysis of charts from 548 patients who presented with gastrointestinal complaints of the irritable bowel syndrome spectrum. An enzyme-linked IgA immunosorbent assay or histologic evaluation of gastric mucosa were used to detect H. pylori infection. A hydrogen breath (H2) test was performed to evaluate fructose malabsorption (FM) and lactose intolerance (LIT). Serum diamine oxidase value of <10 U/ml and a response to a histamine-reduced diet was used to identify histamine intolerance (HIT). We found 293 patients infected with H. pylori, within these were 58 H. pylori patients with LIT, 23 H. pylori LIT patients with FM and 46 H. pylori LIT patients with HIT. Additionally, 13 H. pylori, lactose- and histamine intolerance patients also had FM. The Kruskal Wallis test and pairwise comparison were used to analyze differences of the area under the curve of expiratory hydrogen. In lactose H2 breath tests compared with LIT-only patients, LIT with H. pylori, LIT and H. pylori with HIT, LIT and H. pylori with FM showed significantly higher exhaled H2 levels (p=0.022). Pairwise comparison demonstrated H. pylori infected patients with LIT exhaled more H2 compared to LIT-only (p=0.029). H. pylori with lactose- and histamine intolerance, and H. pylori with lactose-, histamine intolerance and FM compared to H. pylori-only patients indicated a significantly higher occurrence of stomach pain during lactose H2 breath tests (p=0.012 and p=0.005, respectively). We demonstrate that LIT patients with high expiratory H2 levels in lactose breath tests may have H. pylori infection and possibly additional food intolerance/malabsorption. Subsequently, besides H. pylori eradication, a dietician is necessary for an individually tailored reduction- or exclusion diet of symptom triggering food components.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) classified as a class I carcinogen by the World Health Organization (WHO) plays an important role in the progression of chronic gastritis and the development of gastric cancer. A major bioactive component of Evodia rutaecarpa, evodiamine, has been known for its anti-bacterial effect and anti-cancer effects. However, the inhibitory effect of evodiamine against H. pylori is not yet known and the inhibitory mechanisms of evodiamine against gastric cancer cells are yet to be elucidated concretely. In this study, therefore, anti-bacterial effect of evodiamine on H. pylori growth and its inhibitory mechanisms as well as anti-inflammatory effects and its mechanisms of evodiamine on H. pylori-induced inflammation were investigated in vitr. Results of this study showed the growth of the H. pylori reference strains and clinical isolates were inhibited by evodiamine. It was considered one of the inhibitory mechanisms that evodiamine downregulated both gene expressions of replication and transcription machineries of H. pylori. Treatment of evodiamine also induced downregulation of urease and diminished translocation of cytotoxin-associated antigen A (CagA) and vacuolating cytotoxin A (VacA) proteins into gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS) cells. This may be resulted from the reduction of CagA and VacA expressions as well as the type IV secretion system (T4SS) components and secretion system subunit protein A (SecA) protein which are involved in translocation of CagA and VacA into host cells, respectively. In particular, evodiamine inhibited the activation of signaling proteins such as the nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway induced by H. pylori infection. It consequently might contribute to reduction of interleukin (IL)-8 production in AGS cells. Collectively, these results suggest anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of evodiamine against H. pylori.
