Helicobacter pylori Infection in a Pig Model Is Dominated by Th1 and Cytotoxic CD8+T Cell Responses

Abstract: Helicobacter pylori is the dominant member of the gastric microbiota and colonizes the stomach of more than 50% of the human population worldwide (1). H. pylori colonization usually does not cause illness, since 85% of infected people remain asymptomatic throughout life, but infection with strains bearing the cag (cytotoxin-associated gene) pathogenicity island can result in peptic ulcer disease, gastric lymphoma, and gastric adenocarcinoma, the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths, in 15% of infected… Show more

“…31 Comparable to immune responses observed in humans, our pig model also shows the infiltration of Foxp3+ T cells into the gastric mucosa. 30 Overall these findings corroborate that the pig model of H. pylori infection closely resembles human pathology. Thus, it has the potential to shed new light on host-H. pylori interactions and help developing novel treatment modalities.…”

“…These phenotypic changes correlated with upregulation of IFNγ, and markers of cytotoxic function like granzyme A, B, perforin, and CD16. 30 Similar to H. pylori-mediated chronic gastritis in humans, our pig model shows that bacteria persist in the pig stomach at the expense of lesion development. One of the main features observed in this novel H. pylori pig model was the development of numerous large tertiary structures consisting of lymphoid aggregates in the stomach mucosa.…”

“…Rodents and primates are the primary models used in H pylori ‐related studies. Helicobacter species can successfully colonize many animal species (eg, monkeys, pigs, cats, and dogs) . Primates have similar physiologies to that of humans; however, they are rarely used to construct H pylori ‐infected models due to their poor availability and high cost.…”

“…99 We have recently demonstrated the expansion of circulating NK cells, CD8C T cells and concomitant increases in cytotoxic markers including CD16, granzyme B and perforin in a pig model of H. pylori infection. 100 Thus, a cytotoxic cell response might play a major role in H. pylorimediated pathology at least in part due to the cytokine response induced by the bacterium.…”
