Abstract
Immune cell apoptosis may play a role in human persistent Helicobacter pylori infection. We planned to study the apoptosis of T and B cells by H. pylori strains. T (Jurkat) and B (Raji) cell lines were co-cultured with cagA-positive H. pylori strains carrying different vacA genotypes (s1a/m1, s1a/m2, and s2/m2). Apoptosis was detected by microscopy, DNA fragmentation assay, and flow cytometry. Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) transfer from mitochondria to nucleus was studied by immunoblot analysis. Apoptosis of T and B cells was significantly higher in H. pylori-infected cells than in uninfected controls (s1a/m1 80%, s1a/m2 78%, s2m2 69% vs. control 16% for T cells, P < 0.001; s1 a/m1 78%, s1a/m2 73%, s2m2 62% vs. control 24% for B cells, P < 0.001 by flow cytometry) with no difference among the genotypes. AIF transfer from mitochondria to nucleus was demonstrated in both apoptotic cell lines. Thus, H. pylori induces apoptosis in T- and B-cell lines and translocates AIF. T and B cells deletion through apoptosis may explain the persistence of H. pylori infection; its role in pathogenesis needs further research.
