Abstract EN
Helicobacter pylori (H.
pylori) infection is a definite causative factor for gastric ulcers (GUs).
In the present study we detected a specific antigen of gastric epithelial cells (HGC-27) using cell ELISA, which was recognized by the sera of GU patients (n=20) but not in patients with chronic gastritis (CG; n=20) or in healthy volunteers (HC; n=10).
This antigen was over-expressed by a stressful (heat-stressed) environment, and was identified as elongation factor 2 kinase (EF-2K) by western blotting.
The GU patients' lymphocytes stimulated by H.
pylori specifically disrupted heat-stressed HGC-27 cells in a cytotoxic assay.
In flow cytometry, the effector cells (lymphocytes) from GU patients were significantly differentiated to T helper type 1 lymphocyte (Th1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) as opposed to those from CG patients.
The target cells (HGC-27) expressed EF-2K and MHC-class I together with costimulatory molecules from heat stress.
This antigen specific immune mechanism could have a prominent role in the pathogenesis of GU.
