Helicobacter pylori initiates an inflammatory response and gastric diseases, which are more common in patients infected with H. pylori strains carrying the pathogenicity island, by colonizing the gastric epithelium. In the present study we investigated the mechanism of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis in response to H. pylori infection. We demonstrate that H. pyloriinduces the synthesis of PGE2 via release of arachidonic acid predominately from phosphatidylinositol. In contrast to H. pylori wild type, an isogenic H. pylori strain with a mutation in the pathogenicity island exerts only weak arachidonic acid and PGE2 synthesis. The H. pylori-induced arachidonic acid release was abolished by phospholipase A2(PLA2) inhibitors and by pertussis toxin (affects the activity of Gαi/Gαo). The role of phospholipase C, diacylglycerol lipase, or phospholipase D was excluded by using specific inhibitors. An inhibitor of the stress-activated p38 kinase (SB202190), but neither inhibitors of protein kinase C nor an inhibitor of the extracellular-regulated kinase pathway (PD98059), decreased the H. pylori-induced arachidonic acid release.H. pylori-induced phosphorylation of p38 kinase and cytosolic PLA2 was blocked by SB202190. These results indicate that H. pylori induces the release of PGE2 from epithelial cells by cytosolic PLA2activation via Gαi/Gαo proteins and the p38 kinase pathway.

Evidence has been presented that an increase of prostaglandins (PGs)1 in gastric tissue from patients may play a crucial role in H. pylori infection (4Wakabayashi H. Orihara T. Nakaya A. Miyamoto A. Watanabe A. J. Gastroenterol. Hepatol. 1998; 13: 566-571Crossref PubMed Scopus (12) Google Scholar). In gastrointestinal epithelia, PGE2 is implicated in maintaining the normal function and structure of the gastric mucosa by modulating diverse cellular functions such as secretion of fluid and electrolytes, mucosal blood flow, and cell proliferation (5Eberhart C.E. Dubois R.N. Gastroenterology. 1995; 109: 285-301Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (407) Google Scholar, 6Kobayashi K. Arakawa T. J. Clin. Gastroenterol. 1995; 21: 12-17PubMed Google Scholar). Studies have shown that H. pylori strains differ in their virulence and in their ability to trigger the induction of inflammatory mediators in gastric epithelial cell lines (1Bodger K. Crabtree JE. Br. Med. Bull. 1998; 54: 139-150Crossref PubMed Scopus (161) Google Scholar). The response is more intense to strains carrying the cagA gene. The analysis of the genomic region containing the cagA gene revealed a 40-kilobase DNA region, which represents a pathogenicity island (PAI) and codes for 31 genes (7Covacci A. Telford J.L. Del Giudice G. Parsonnet J. Rappuoli R. Science. 1999; 284: 1328-1333Crossref PubMed Scopus (957) Google Scholar). Upon contact with the gastric epithelium, PAI-encoded components contribute in a specialized type IV secretion machinery that translocates the CagA protein into the eukaryotic target cell where it is phosphorylated on tyrosine residues (8Segal E.D.

Chen C.T. Lin Y.L. Chen K.T. Int. J. Mol. Med. 1999; 3: 421-425PubMed Google Scholar). The activation of the PGE2 signaling pathway in H. pylori-colonized gastric cells has not been studied so far. One of the mechanisms for increased PG production in response to H. pylori infection is an induction of COX-2 expression (20Eckmann L. Stenson W.F. Savidge T.C. Lowe D.C. Barrett K.E. Fierer J. Smith J.R. Kagnoff M.F. J. Clin. Invest. 1997; 100: 296-309Crossref PubMed Scopus (174) Google Scholar,21Romano M. Ricci V. Memoli A. Tuccillo C. Di Popolo A. Sommi P. Acquaviva A.M. Del Vecchio B. Bruni C.B. Zarrilli R. J. Biol. Chem. 1998; 273: 28560-28563Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (184) Google Scholar). Another rate-limiting step in the control of PG production is the release of AA from membrane phospholipids, which is known to occur via a number of different pathways. One involves the activation of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), others involve the action of PLC or phospholipase D (PLD) (22Leslie C.C. J. Biol. Chem. 1997; 272: 16709-16712Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (743) Google Scholar, 23Nishizuka Y. Science. 1992; 258: 607-614Crossref PubMed Scopus (4231) Google Scholar, 24Exton J.H. Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 1994; 1212: 26-42Crossref PubMed Scopus (924) Google Scholar). In this report, we studied the control of PGE2 and AA production in response to H. pylori infection of epithelial cells after specific labeling of potential phospholipid precursors and selective inhibition of enzymes involved in the pathways of AA production. The presented results provide evidence that colonization of epithelial cells by H. pylori induces a release of PGE2 and AA by activation of the cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) via pertussis toxin-sensitive heterotrimeric Gαi/Gαo proteins and the p38 stress-activated kinase cascade. This process does not seem to involve PLC or PLD pathways. The identification of H. pylori-specific signaling pathways leading to the induction of putative anti-inflammatory immune response mediators is of substantial interest for therapeutic intervention to overcome H. pylori-induced diseases. The isogenic H. pylori strains P12 wild type, cagA (mutation affect cagA with a probable polar effect in the PAI), and vacA (25Schmitt W. Haas R. Mol.
