PG - 168-78 LID - 10.1111/j.1574-695X.2010.00761.x [doi] AB - The bacterial pathogen Helicobacter pylori colonizes the human gastric and duodenal mucosa, evades clearance by the host response and is associated with peptic ulcer disease and an increased risk of gastric adenocarcinoma. Dendritic cells (DCs) are initiators of the immune response to H. pylori. The aim of the current study was to investigate the interaction between H. pylori with DCs. To determine the impact of H. pylori on the maturation and the activation of monocyte-derived DCs, the effect of 20 clinical H. pylori strains with different inflammatory backgrounds on adenocarcinoma gastric epithelial cells was investigated. The inflammatory background was defined according to the degree of lymphocyte and granulocyte infiltration and the bacterial density at the site of infection. DC maturation and activation varied after exposure to the different strains. While maturation appeared to be independent of any virulence factor tested, a significant increase in the average level of cytokine production was observed for the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-12 (IL-12), tumour necrosis factor-alpha, IL-6 and IL-1beta when comparing strains with low inflammatory backgrounds with those of the medium or high backgrounds. In conclusion, the DC response towards different strains in vitro was associated with the clinical outcome of the individual host, suggesting a major role of this cell type in modulating strain-specific H. pylori infection.
