The cagA, vacA alleles and iceA genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction. In the recent years, association of vacA genotypes and gastrointestinal disorders has attracted a lot of attention. Helicobacter pylori, which is involved in the pathogenesis of gastroduodenal disease, produces CagA and VacA as major virulence factors. The vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA) was one of the first H. pylori virulence factors identified. After exposure of VacA to acidic or basic pH, re-oligomerized VacA (mainly 6 monomeric units) at neutral pH is more toxic. H. pylori affects about half of the human population worldwide, which exists in their upper gastrointestinal tract. The vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA) was one of the first H. pylori virulence factors identified. The microbe has been associated with its host for more than 100,000 years and escorted modern humans out of Africa. VacA essentially acts as an invasive chloride channel targeting mitochondria. Chronic infection with this Gram-negative pathogen is associated with the development of peptic ulcers and is linked to an increased risk of gastric cancer. CagA is classified into East Asian and Western types based on the number and sequences of its Glu-Pro-Ile-Tyr-Ala motifs. The present report describes an analysis of two virulence genes ofHelicobacter pylori. Helicobacter pylori (Campylobacter pylori) Status. Recently, the vacA intermediate (i) region, which is located between the signal (s) and middle (m) regions, was identified as a third polymorphic determinant of vacA activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the capacity of H. pylori vacuolating toxin (VacA) to induce gastric epithelial cell apoptosis. The present study aimed to determine the H. pylori genotypes distribution and their association with sex, age and … The stomach bacterium Helicobacter pylori is one of the most prevalent pathogens in humans, closely linked with serious diseases such as gastric cancer. HELICOBACTER PYLORI UPDATE Dr.T.V.Rao MDDR.T.V.RAO MD 1. Genetic variation at this locus could be under strong selection as H. pylori adapts to the host immune response, colonizes new human hosts, or inhabits different host environments. Abstract.

Aims Helicobacter pylori infection is the major cause of peptic ulceration and gastric cancer, and an important virulence determinant is its vacuolating cytotoxin vacA. This paper. The aim of this study was to assess the relationships between H. pylori cagA, vacA, and iceA status and severity of disease. Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the human stomach. VacA toxin from the cancer-inducing bacterium Helicobacter pylori is currently classified as a pore-forming toxin but is also considered a multifunctional toxin, apparently causing many pleiotropic cell effects. VacA. These regions show distinct allelic diversity. It interfered with the T cell receptor/interleukin-2 (IL-2) signaling pathway at the level of the Ca2+-calmodulin–dependent phosphatase calcineurin. vacA. The secreted VacA toxin is an important H. pylori virulence factor that causes multiple alterations in gastric epithelial cells and T cells. We compared H. pylori isolates from four countries, looking at thecagA and vacA genotypes, iceAalleles, and presentation of the infection. Introduction. Infection with cagA-positive, cagA EPIYA motif ABD type, and vacA s1, m1, and i1 genotype strains of Helicobacter pylori is associated with an exacerbated inflammatory response and increased risk of gastroduodenal diseases. CagA and VacA are Immunoblot Markers of Past Helicobacter pylori Infection in Atrophic Body Gastritis. In vitro studies indicate that VacA … Helicobacter pylori VacA, a pore-forming toxin secreted by an autotransporter pathway, causes multiple alterations in human cells, contributes to the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer, and is a candidate antigen for inclusion in an H. pylori vaccine. The aim of this study was to assess the genetic status of cagA, vacA subtype and iceA genotypes of Helicobacter pylori and the relationship with upper gastrointestinal diseases in Northeast China. Experiments in an animal model indicate that VacA contributes to H. pylori colonization of the stomach. VacA inhibits the activation and proliferation of T lymphocytes in vitro, a phenomenon that may contribute to the persistence of H. pylori infection in vivo. READ PAPER. Helicobacter pylori is accounted as the most etiologic agent for digestive disorders, in particular, the most important of them i.e. Previously, we have described allelic variation in vacA which determines toxin activity and disease risk. However, VacA reacted with none of the alleged VacA receptors present on platelet membranes. VacA bound to RPTPβ, relocates and concentrates in lipid rafts in the plasma membrane. Helicobacter pylori colonizes the gastric epithelium of at least 50% of the world's human population, playing a causative role in the development of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric adenocarcinoma. Helicobacter pylori produces a vacuolating cytotoxin, VacA, and most virulent H. pylori strains secrete VacA. We found that VacA could efficiently block proliferation of T cells by inducing a G1/S cell cycle arrest. Gene. Colonization of the human stomach with Helicobacter pylori is a risk factor for peptic ulceration, noncardia gastric adenocarcinoma, and gastric lymphoma. In addition, to verify whether these genes work synergistically or independently in causing gastritis, peptic ulcer, and intestinal metaplasia.

We found that 58.5% (31/53) of the patients were infected with H. pylori containing virulence factors (Supplementary Table 4).The vacA s1 genotype was the most frequent among H. pylori-positive patients, with 54.7% (29/53).Among these, m1 was found in co-infection with s1 in 13.2% of patients (7/53). A total of 500 consecutive patients undergoing upper endoscopy were biopsied and tested for H. pylori infection by theCampylobacter-like organism (CLO) test, culture, histology, and PCR. Platelets were activated under the infection with H. pylori in human and mice. Helicobacter pylori produces a vacuolating cytotoxin, VacA, and most virulent H. pylori strains secrete VacA. Abstract. Helicobacter pylori, a major cause of gastroduodenal diseases, produces vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA) and cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA), which seem to be involved in virulence.VacA exhibits pleiotropic actions in gastroduodenal disorders via its specific receptors. The VacA channel allows for the efflux of metabolic substrates from H. pylori for bacterial growth. Pathogenic strains of Helicobacter pylori produce a potent exotoxin, VacA, which causes progressive vacuolation as well as gastric injury. However, VacA reacted with none of the alleged VacA receptors present on platelet membranes. Helicobacter pylori infects nearly half of the world’s population and is the primary cause of various gastric diseases. Aims: To determine any associations between the Helicobacter pylori genes babA2, oipA, cagA and the s and m alleles of vacA. Development of H. pylori -associated diseases is determined by a number of virulence factors. A specific host response to H. pylori that may contribute to gastric carcinogenesis is epithelial cell apoptosis. Helicobacter pylori vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA), which is known to cause characteristic vacuolation in toxin-sensitive cells, is synthesized as a 140 kDa precursor and is processed into the mature 95 kDa toxin during secretion. Helicobacter pylori strains can be distinguished by genotyping of virulence-associated genes, such as vacA and cagA . VacA binds to two types of receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase (RPTP), RPTPα and RPTPβ, on the surface of host cells.
