Helicobacter pylori is the etiological agent in the development of chronic gastritis, duodenal ulceration, and gastric adenocarcinoma. The difference in virulence between individual strains is reflected in their ability to induce interleukin-8 (IL-8) secretion from gastric epithelial cells. It has been shown that virulence is associated with the presence of a bacterial gene cluster (a pathogenicity island). We have recently demonstrated that H. pylori-mediated IL-8 secretion requires activation of the transcription factor NF-kappaB. Here, we show that NF-kappaB induction requires six membrane proteins encoded within the pathogenicity island.
幽门螺杆菌是慢性胃炎、十二指肠溃疡和胃腺癌发病的病原体。不同菌株之间的毒力差异体现在它们诱导胃上皮细胞分泌白细胞介素-8(IL-8)的能力上。研究表明,毒力与一个细菌基因簇(一个致病岛)的存在有关。我们最近证明,幽门螺杆菌介导的IL-8分泌需要转录因子NF-κB的激活。在此,我们表明NF-κB的诱导需要致病岛内编码的六种膜蛋白。
