Duraisamy P, Ravi S, Martin LC, Kumaresan M, Manikandan B, Ramar M. Differential phagocytic expression of IC-21 macrophages and their scavenging receptors during inflammatory induction by oxysterol: A microscopic approach. Microsc Res Tech 2024. [PMID: 38984373 DOI: 10.1002/jemt.24647] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024]
Abstract
Phagocytosis by macrophages dates back to a long history in science, this present study deals with new approaches that have been analyzed and standardized towards the interesting aspects of primary and secondary macrophages. The distinct morphological differences in primary and secondary phagocytic cells were observed and the phagocytic response of secondary macrophages under the influence of 7-ketocholesterol and lipopolysaccharide was analyzed. The primary peritoneal and secondary IC-21 cells unveiled explicit differences in nuclear numbers shapes and sizes of the granules present within the cytoplasmic region. Further, potent inducers 7KCh and LPS influenced an effective activation of IC-21 macrophages and resulted in ROS generation, irregulated protein expressions of CD86, CD68, and CD206 with enhanced phagocytic responses towards goat, cow, and human RBC targets with significant phagocytic rate and index were observed. Moreover, a remarkable observation of target specificity and aggregations with IC-21 phagocytic macrophages revealed the notion that specific membrane receptors and secretory molecules (lysosomes) are primarily involved in their phagocytic mechanism. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: IC-21 macrophages are peritoneal origin from mice but the primary peritoneal macrophages and cell line show distinct differences. IC-21 macrophages express target-specific phagocytosis. Phagocytosis in IC-21 macrophages is regulated by CD markers (68, 86, and 206).

Helicobacter pylori components increase the severity of metabolic syndrome and its hepatic manifestations induced by a high fat diet. Sci Rep 2024; 14:5764. [PMID: 38459219 PMCID: PMC10923818 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-56308-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024] Open
Abstract
The metabolic syndrome, often accompanied by hepatic manifestations, is a high-risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease. Patients with metabolic dysfunction associated with steatohepatic disease (MASDL) are at significant risk of developing coronary artery disease. Atherosclerosis is a systemic inflammatory disorder in which several factors, including dietary or infectious factors, can cause an inflammatory response. Helicobacter pylori (HP) bacteria have been implicated in the progression of proatherogenic vascular endothelial lesions, moreover, our previous study in an experimental in vivo model of Cavia porcellus showed that HP components and high-fat substances acted synergistically in promoting vascular endothelial inflammation, leading to an early onset of a proatherogenic environment. In the present study, our goal was to determine the contribution of HP components to the development of hepatic manifestations of metabolic syndrome in an experimental model. Our results showed that HP infection in animals exposed to a high-fat diet increased oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, followed by endothelial lipid deposition, impaired endothelial apoptosis, cell lysis, and increased vascular stiffness. Finally, histopathological analysis of liver tissue showed signs of MASLD development in HP-infected animals fed a high-fat diet.

Abstract
The microbiota actively and extensively participates in the regulation of human metabolism, playing a crucial role in the development of metabolic diseases. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), when colonizing gastric epithelial cells, not only induces local tissue inflammation or malignant transformation but also leads to systemic and partial changes in host metabolism. These shifts can be mediated through direct contact, toxic components, or indirect immune responses. Consequently, they influence various molecular metabolic events that impact nutritional status and iron absorption in the host. Unraveling the intricate and diverse molecular interaction links between H. pylori and human metabolism modulation is essential for understanding pathogenesis mechanisms and developing targeted treatments for related diseases. However, significant challenges persist in comprehensively understanding the complex association networks among H. pylori itself, the infected host's status, the host microbiome, and the immune response. Previous metabolomics research has indicated that H. pylori infection and eradication may selectively shape the metabolite and microbial profiles of gastric lesions. Yet, it remains largely unknown how these diverse metabolic pathways, including isovaleric acid, cholesterol, fatty acids, and phospholipids, specifically modulate gastric carcinogenesis or affect the host's serum metabolism, consequently leading to the development of metabolic-associated diseases. The direct contribution of H. pylori to metabolisms still lacks conclusive evidence. In this review, we summarize recent advances in clinical evidence highlighting associations between chronic H. pylori infection and metabolic diseases, as well as its potential molecular regulatory patterns.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a highly successful human pathogen that colonizes stomach in around 50% of the global population. The colonization of bacterium induces an inflammatory response and a substantial rise in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), mostly derived from host neutrophils and gastric epithelial cells, which play a crucial role in combating bacterial infections. However, H. pylori has developed various strategies to quench the deleterious effects of ROS, including the production of antioxidant enzymes, antioxidant proteins as well as blocking the generation of oxidants. The host's inability to eliminate H. pylori infection results in persistent ROS production. Notably, excessive ROS can disrupt the intracellular signal transduction and biological processes of the host, incurring chronic inflammation and cellular damage, such as DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, and protein oxidation. Markedly, the sustained inflammatory response and oxidative stress during H. pylori infection are major risk factor for gastric carcinogenesis. In this context, we summarize the literature on H. pylori infection-induced ROS production, the strategies used by H. pylori to counteract the host response, and subsequent host damage and gastric carcinogenesis.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:13911.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is the most common cause of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. Successful colonization of the stomach by H. pylori is related to the complex interactions of these bacteria and its components with host cells. The growing antibiotic resistance of H. pylori and various mechanisms of evading the immune response have forced the search for new biologically active substances that exhibit antibacterial properties and limit the harmful effects of these bacteria on gastric epithelial cells and immune cells. In this study, the usefulness of pyomelanin (PyoM) produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa for inhibiting the metabolic activity of H. pylori was evaluated using the resazurin reduction assay, as well as in vitro cell studies used to verify the cytoprotective, anti-apoptotic and pro-regenerative effects of PyoM in the H. pylori LPS environment. We have shown that both water-soluble (PyoMsol) and water-insoluble (PyoMinsol) PyoM exhibit similar antibacterial properties against selected reference and clinical strains of H. pylori. This study showed that PyoM at a 1 μg/mL concentration reduced H. pylori-driven apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in fibroblasts, monocytes or gastric epithelial cells. In addition, PyoM enhanced the phagocytosis of H. pylori. PyoMsol showed better pro-regenerative and immunomodulatory activities than PyoMinsol.

The influence of Salvia cadmica Boiss. extracts on the M1/M2 polarization of macrophages primed with Helicobacter pylori lipopolysaccharide in conjunction with NF-kappa B activation, production of cytokines, phagocytic activity and total DNA methylation. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 310:116386. [PMID: 36921911 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.116386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The large number of secondary derivatives have been isolated from the genus Salvia with about 700 species, and used in the pharmacopoeia throughout the world. Various biological properties of Salvia formulations have been reported including as antioxidant, antimicrobial, hypotensive, anti-hyperglycemia, anti-hyperlipidemia, anti-cancer, and skin curative. Salvia cadmica Boiss. root and aerial part extracts enriched with polyphenols are bactericidal towards gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and diminish deleterious effects induced by Hp lipopolysaccharide (LPS) towards gastric epithelial cells. AIM OF THIS STUDY To examine the influence of S. cadmica extracts on the M1/M2 polarization of macrophages primed with Hp LPS vs standard LPS Escherichia coli (Ec), and the macrophage cytokine as well as phagocytic activity, which are affected during Hp infection. MATERIAL AND METHODS Macrophages derived from THP-1 human monocytes primed with LPS Hp/Ec and/or S. cadmica extracts, were examined for the biomarkers of activation (surface, cytoplasmic or soluble), and phagocytic capacity. The bone marrow macrophages of Caviaporcellus were used to determine the engulfment of Hp. RESULTS Priming of THP-1 cells (24h) with LPS Hp/Ec resulted in polarization of M1 macrophages, activation of nuclear factor kappa B, secretion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1 beta, macrophage chemotactic protein (MCP)-1, immunoregulatory IL-10, and production of reactive oxygen species. These effects were diminished after restimulation of cells with S. cadmica extracts. THP-1 macrophages exposed to studied extracts showed an increased phagocytic capacity, in conjunction with elevated CD11b/CD11d expression and enhanced production of inducible nitric oxide synthase. They also increased Hp engulfment by bone marrow macrophages. These effects were not related to a global DNA methylation. CONCLUSIONS S. cadmica extracts possess an immunomodulating activity, which might be useful in control of H. pylori LPS driven activity of macrophages.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) Gram-negative bacteria cause gastritis or gastric ulcers. They may be involved in the development of systemic diseases i.e. coronary heart disease (CHD). Both Hp infection and CHD are related to inflammation accompanied by C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor alfa (TNF-α) and homocysteine. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglicerides are a classic risk factors of CHD. Infrared spectroscopy has been introduced for monitoring chronic infections or endogenous disorders using specific absorption bands for biocomponents typed as diagnostic markers. In this study we selected specific motives of infrared radiation (IR) spectra for the sera from CHD patients infected with Hp. In total 141 sera were used: 90 from patients with CHD, all Hp positive, and 51 from healthy donors, 32 Hp negative and 21 Hp positive. Hp status was evaluated by anti-Hp IgG antibodies and/or 13C urea breath testing. IR spectra were measured using FT-IR/FT-NIR Spectrum 400 spectrometer (PerkinElmer) chemometrically analyzed using artificial neural networks and they showed differences in absorption bands corresponding to triglicerides, CRP, homocysteine, LDL and TNF-α, and selected component groups between CHD patients infected with Hp vs healthy uninfected donors (96.15% accuracy). Triglicerides and CRP were the best biomarkers linking Hp infection with CHD.
