Project description:<p>The metabolism of bacteria is closely associated with antibiotic resistance, yet the role of metabolism in the resistance of Helicobacter pylori remains unclear. In this study, we conducted integrated analysis using transcriptomics and non-targeted metabolomics to investigate the metabolic changes of antibiotic-treated H. pylori. The results revealed an upregulation in the expression of genes related to fatty acid biosynthesis. Inhibiting fatty acid biosynthesis significantly enhanced the sensitivity of H. pylori strains sensitive to antibiotics, artificially selected multidrug-resistant strains, and clinically multidrug-resistant strains, leading to the inability to form intact biofilms. Furthermore, we explored the reasons for the enhanced fatty acid synthesis in H. pylori under antibiotic pressure and found that antibiotic treatment induced a stringent response in H. pylori, activating the regulation of the downstream operon containing hp0560 by σ28, thereby enhancing the fatty acid synthesis pathway and consequently increasing H. pylori's tolerance to various antibiotics. In this study, we identified a novel mechanism by which H. pylori adapts to antibiotic pressure.</p>
Project description:To study the miRNA expression profiles and explore the underlying roles of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), miR-196a/b-5p, and IFG2BP1 in the carcinogenesis of gastric mucosa.
Project description:Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has been investigated as a potential risk factor for extragastric diseases, including metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD). However, the details of the underlying mechanisms remain inadequately understood. In this study, we elucidate that H. pylori infection exacerbates hepatic metabolic disorders both in vitro and in vivo, manifesting as increased lipid deposition and insulin resistance. Mechanistically, H. pylori infection further upregulates m6A content, particularly increasing the expression of one of the m6A methyltransferases, WTAP.
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:Helicobacter pylori causes chronic gastritis and avoids elimination by the immune system of the infected host. The commensal bacterium Lactobacillus acidophilus has been reported to exert beneficial effects as a supplement during H. pylori eradication therapy. In the present study, we applied whole genome microarray analysis to compare the immune response induced in murine bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) stimulated with L. acidophilus, H. pylori, or with both bacteria in combination Microarray expression profiling was performed to analyze stimulation of bone marrow derived macrophages with Helicobacter pylori 251, Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM or Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM co-stimulated with Helicobacter pylori 251 were analyzed 5 hours after infection.
Project description:The aim of this study is to identify alterations induced in gastric mucosa of mice exposed to Pteridium aquilinum and/or infected with Helicobacter pylori, in order to identify genes that are induced by bracken fern exerts exacerbating effects on gastric lesions associated to the infection. Six groups of C57Bl/6 mice were be used: 1) control, 2) infected Helicobacter pylori, 3) treated with Bracken fern extract orogastrically, 4) treated with Bracken fern extract in drinking water, 5) infected Helicobacter pylori + treated with Bracken fern extract orogastrically, 6) infected Helicobacter pylori + treated with Bracken fern extract in drinking water. The infection procedure was performed using an orogastric inoculation of H.pylori (strain SS1) twice in the first week. The RNA isolation was done in triplicate (3 mice per each condition). Further evaluation of morphological alterations on gastric mucosa, proliferative index and induction of DNA strand breaks will be performed in the mice stomach exposed to Pteridium aquilinum infected or not with Helicobacter pylori. Alterations of glycosylation in gastric tissues will also evaluated.

Project description:In this study, we treated the gastric cancer cell line AGS with PBS and Helicobacter pylori to perform RNA-seq analysis. A total of 18,308 different circRNA candidates were obtained in the experiment.Compared with the control, 101 significantly differentially expressed circRNAs were identified in the AGS cells infected with H. pylori, including 84 upregulated circRNAs and 17 downregulated circRNAs.Then, circMAN1A2 with the most significant expression difference was selected according to the sequencing results to study the epigenetic mechanism of H. pylori-induced gastric carcinogenesis.
Project description:Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection is an important factor in the occurrence of human gastric diseases, but its pathogenic mechanism is not clear. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent reversible methylation modification in mammalian RNA and it plays a crucial role in controlling many biological processes. We used MeRIP-seq technology to sequence the GES-1 cells infected with Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) for 48 h.
