Résumé
Helicobacter pylori virulence factors have been suggested to be important in determining the outcome of infection. The H. pylori adhesion protein BabA2 is thought to play a crucial role in bacterial colonization and in induction of severe gastric inflammation, particularly in combination with expression of CagA and VacA. However, the influence of these virulence factors on the pathogenesis of H. pylori infection is still poorly understood. To address this question, the inflammatory gene expression profiles for two groups of patients infected with triple-negative strains (lacking expression of cagA, babA2, and vacAs1 but expressing vacAs2) and triple-positive strains (expressing cagA, vacAs1, and babA2 but lacking expression of vacAs2) were investigated. The gene expression patterns in the antrum gastric mucosa from patients infected with different H. pylori strains were very similar, and no differentially expressed genes could be identified by pairwise comparisons. Our data thus suggest that there is a lack of correlation between the host inflammatory responses in the gastric mucosa and expression of the babA2, cagA, and vacAs1 genes.
