In vivo, gastric infection with Helicobacter pylori
leads to substantial production of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1,
IL-6, TNF-
, and IL-8. H. pylori strains that contain the
cag pathogenicity island
(cag+) and are associated with
ulceration and gastric carcinoma induce greater cytokine production
than cag- strains. Expression of these
cytokines is often regulated by the transcription factor complex,
nuclear factor-
B (NF-
B) through
B-binding elements in the
enhancer/promoter regions of their genes. We report that more virulent
cag+ H. pylori strains induce
increased NF-
B-DNA binding activity, which elevates IL-8 expression
in AGS gastric epithelial cells. The cag+
H. pylori strains induce significant stimulation of IL-8
promoter-driven reporter activity, while cag-
strains do not. Furthermore, mutation of specific genes within the
cag island (picA1 and picB)
ablates enhanced NF-
B activation and IL-8 transcription. Increased
IL-8 expression is inhibited by mutation in either the NF-
B or
NF-IL-6 binding element. The cag+ strains,
compared with the cag- strains, induce
enhanced nuclear localization of a RelA-containing NF-
B binding
complex, but no increase in NF-IL-6 binding activity. These studies
demonstrate that the ability of different types of H.
pylori strains to activate NF-
B correlates with their ability
to induce IL-8 transcription and indicate a mechanism for the
heightened inflammatory response seen in subjects infected with
cag+ H. pylori strains.
