Abstract

Helicobacter pylori GroES (HpGroES), a potent immunogen, is a secreted virulence factor that stimulates production of proinflammatory cytokines and may contribute to gastric carcinogenesis. HpGroES is larger than other bacterial orthologs because of an additional C-terminal region, known as domain B. We found that the HpGroES-induced IL-8 release by human gastric epithelial cells was dependent on activation of the MAPK and NF-κB pathways. HpGroES lacking domain B was unable to induce IL-8 release. Additionally, a TLR4 inhibitor significantly inhibited IL-8 secretion and reduced HpGroES-induced activation of MAPKs. Furthermore, HpGroES-induced IL-8 release by primary gastric epithelial cells from TLR4(-/-) mice was significantly lower than from wild-type mice. We also found that HpGroES bound to TLR4 in cell lysates and colocalized with TLR4 on the cell membrane only when domain B was present. We then constructed two deletion mutants lacking C-terminal regions and mutants with point mutations of two of the four cysteine residues, C111 and C112, in domain B and found that the deletion mutants and a double mutant lacking the C94-C111 and C95-C112 disulfide bonds were unable to interact with TLR4 or induce IL-8 release. We conclude...Continue Reading
