Project description:Bacterial-modulated gastric epithelial cells (GECs) play key roles in H. pylori-associated pathology. Here we demonstrate a pro-colonization and pro-inflammation role of GEC-expressed glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 3 (GPAT3), a lipid metabolism-associated protein, in H. pylori infection. GPAT3 expression was elevated in gastric mucosa of both patients and mice infected with H. pylori. GPAT3 in GECs was synergistically induced by H. pylori and IL-22 in a cagA-dependent manner. Human gastric GPAT3 correlated with H. pylori colonization and the severity of gastritis, and mouse GPAT3 from non-bone marrow-derived cells promoted bacteria colonization and inflammation. Importantly, H. pylori colonization and inflammation were attenuated in Il22-/-, Gpat3-/- and Il22-/-Gpat3-/- mice. Mechanistically, GPAT3 directly interacted with CCAR1 and activated IKKγ, subsequently promoted NF-κB phosphorylation whereby NF-kB directly bound to the promoters of MMP1, CXCL11 and IL-33 to activate their transcription, which not only led to decreased E-cadherin and zonula occludens-1 proteins by MMP1, thereby resulting in gastric mucosal damage and increased H. pylori colonization; but also resulted in increased gastric influx of CD8+ T cells via CXCL11-dependent migration and their subsequent IL-33-dependent IFN-γ production, thereby promoting H. pylori-associated gastritis. Overall, we propose a model in which GPAT3 collectively ensures H. pylori persistence and promotes gastritis.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a human pathogen that infects almost half of the world’s population. Infection with H. pylori is frequently associated with chronic gastritis and can even lead to gastric and duodenal ulcers and gastric cancer. Although the persistent colonization of H. pylori and the development of H. pylori-associated gastritis remain poorly understood, it is believed that, in gastric mucosa, the modulated gastric epithelial cells (GECs) by H. pylori are key contributors. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in Helicobacter pylori infected-gastric epithelial cell line AGS cells and identified up-regulated genes induced by Helicobacter pylori infection.

Project description:Interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8), also known as interferon consensus sequence-binding protein, is an essential lineage-specific transcriptional regulator in the IRF family, controls diverse cellular processes and is has been implicated in innate immunity, immune cell differentiation. IRF8 has been shown to have both oncogenic and tumor suppressor activities, in myeloid cells and nonhematopoietic cells. As a transcription factor, other functions which may contribute to its oncogenic and anti tumor potential are not clear. So it is meaningful to study the role of IRF8 in different diseases. The roles and the underlying mechanisms of intrahepatic IRF8 in Hepatocellular carcinoma have not been reported up to date.

Project description:Chronic infection with the bacterial pathogen Helicobacter pylori is a risk factor for the development of gastric cancer, yet remains asymptomatic in a majority of individuals. We report here that the C57Bl6 mouse model of experimental infection with the closely related H. felis recapitulates this wide range in host susceptibility. A majority of infected mice develop premalignant lesions such as gastric atrophy, compensatory epithelial hyperplasia and intestinal metaplasia, whereas a minority is completely protected from preneoplasia. Protection is associated with the failure to mount an IFN-gamma response to the infection and an associated high Helicobacter burden. We demonstrate that IFN-gamma is essential for clearance of Helicobacter, but also mediates the formation of preneoplastic lesions. We further provide evidence that IFN-gamma triggers a specific transcriptional program in murine gastric epithelial cells in vitro and in vivo, and induces their preferential transformation to the hyperplastic phenotype. In summary, our data suggest a dual role for IFN-gamma in Helicobacter pathogenesis that could provide an explanation for the differential susceptibility to H. pylori-induced gastric pathology in the human population.

Our recent study demonstrated the protective effects of IRF8 on the liver cancer through the regulation of immune response. In addition, studies have shown that IRF8 has protective effects on ischemia-reperfusion injury of heart and brain and we wondered. However, the role of IRF8 in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury has not been reported.

Keywords: response to in vitro stimulus / comparison of histopathological states We chose mice for gene expression profiling that following Helicobacter infection had (a) symptoms of gastritis, but no epithelial changes, (b) atrophic gastritis accompanied by corpus gland hyperplasia or (c) atrophic gastritis accompanied by intestinal metaplasia. An uninfected control group was also included in the analysis, as were two groups of mice that lacked mature T- and B-cells due to a deletion mutation in the rag1 gene (Rag-1-/-) and that were either experimentally infected or served as Rag-1-/- uninfected controls. To see the effects of IFNg on murine gastric epithelial cells we analysed an immortalized murine primary gastric epithelial cell line treated with three different concentrations of IFNg in comparison to an untreated control.

Project description:Background: Helicobacter pylori has been shown to alter the secretion of gastric hormones that modulate body fat deposition. Since cag-positive H. pylori strains interact intimately with the host gastric epithelial cells and trigger higher inflammation than cag-negative strains, we hypothesized that gastric colonization with H. pylori strains without functional cagA ameliorates obesity and its complications by modulating gastric gene expression and inflammation. Methodology/Principal Findings: To test this hypothesis we examined the effects of gastric colonization on metabolic and inflammatory markers in mice infected with two isogenic strains of H. pylori: 26695 strain 98-325 (cagA+ wild-type) and its cag pathogenicity island (cagPAI) mutant strain 99-305, a knockout made by inserting a chloramphenicol resistance cassette. Only the cagPAI mutant decreased fasting blood glucose levels, improved glucose tolerance and suppressed weight gain in db/db mice and mice with diet-induced obesity. These effects were associated with increased gastric leptin levels, suppressed infiltration of macrophages, enhanced influx of regulatory T cells (Treg) in adipose tissue and suppressed gastric inflammation. Gene set enrichment analyses of gastric mucosal samples identified six differentially modulated pathways, including the Hedgehog signaling pathway that is associated with control of cellular proliferation and gastric carcinogenesis as well as the insulin signaling pathway. Conclusions/Significance: Gastric colonization with cagPAI-negative strains of H. pylori ameliorate obesity and inflammation by modulating gastric gene expression, suggesting that cag-negative H. pylori strains might be beneficial in ameliorating obesity and its co-morbidities. Gastric mucosa from three groups of mice: uninfected, infected with H. pylori 26695 strain 98-325 (cagA+ wild-type) or infected with H. pylori mutant strain 99-305 (lacking cag pathogenicity island; cagA-)

Project description:Forced expression of transcription factors for lineage reprogramming brings hope to cell-based therapy. However, its application is hampered by risks of potential genetic aberrations and tumorigenicity. Using defined small molecules in presence of gastric stromal cells as feeders, we reprogramed human gastric epithelia into induced multipotent endodermal progenitors (hiMEPs) at efficiency of up-to-6%. The hiMEPs expressed genes relative to endodermal lineages but not associating with pluripotency, and could be expanded clonogenically remaining undifferentiation. Upon induction, hiMEPs were able to give rise to multiple functional endodermal cell types, apart from ectodermal or mesodermal lineages. TGFβ inhibition and particular Wnt signaling activation were crucial in reprogramming process. Collective advantages of availability from donors without age restriction, capabilities in expansion and differentiation, and no concern of tumorigenesis, let hiMEPs have the considerable application potentials on cell therapies of diseases such as liver failure and diabetes, as well as personalized drug-screenings. Gastric epithelial cells (GECs) were isolated from human stomach. Human induced multipotent endodermal progenitors (hiMEPs) were reprogrammed from GECs by small molecules. The hiMEP-Heps were differentiated from hiMEPs under hepatic differentiation protocol. Fetal-Heps were isolated from aborted fetal liver. We used RNA sequencing and DNA methylation analysis to detail the global gene expression profile of GECs, hiMEPs, hiMEP-Heps and Fetal-Heps to delineate the difference of these cells.
