Abstract
AIM: To investigate effects of lactobacillus bulgaricus (LBG) on the levels of phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (P-p38MAPK) and apoptosis index (AI) in gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 treated with lipopolysaccharide of H. pylori Sydney strain 1 (H. pylori SS1-LPS).
METHODS: Human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 was treated with H. pylori SS1-LPS at the concentration of 2.5×103, 2.5×104, 2.5 ×105 EU/L, respectively, after pretreatment for 1 h with 10 mmol/L SB203580 (blocker of p38MAPK) or 1×1013 CFU/L LBG. The level of P-p38MAPK was analyzed by immunocytochemistry after 2 h of H. pylori SS1-LPS treatment. The cell activity was detected by MTT assay after 4、5 and 6 h of treatment, and the apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry at the 6th hour.
RESULTS: H. pylori SS1-LPS inhibited cell activity (0.164 ± 0.028 vs 0.622 ± 0.068, P < 0.05) and up-regulated the level of P-p38MAPK (79.771 ± 1.424 vs 4.075 ± 0.135, P < 0.01) and AI value (10.000% ± 0.510% vs 4.175% ± 0.206%, P < 0.05) in a dose-dependent manner. The level of P-p38MAPK and AI value in SGC-7901 cells were not significantly different between LBG pretreatment group and the controls, and the cell activity and AI value were not markedly different between SB203580 pretreatment group and the controls.
CONCLUSION: H. pylori SS1-LPS may induce the apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells by activating the phosphorylation of p38MAPK, while LBG can prevent H. pylori SS1-LPS-induced apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells by inhibiting the phosphorylation of p38MAPK.
