Effectively killing H. pylori that escapes the immune system has becoming a hotspot of H. pylori research. Our studies demonstrate that LECT2 improves protective immunity in bacterial sepsis, possibly as a result of enhanced macrophages functions via the CD209a receptor. The modulation of macrophages functions by LECT2 may serve as a novel potential treatment for H. pylori living in the macrophages. In this study, we determine whether LECT2 treatment could modulate macrophages functions and improve H. pylori eradication in mice via the increased phagocytic ability, bactericidal activity, and whether these effects are mediated through CD209a. In addition, we will examine the process of phagosome maturation, the variation of macrophages Ca2+ and pH, and the production of nitric oxide, reactive oxygen species and cytokine in macrophages infected with H. pylori, in order to determine how LECT2 and CD209a mediate the beneficial effect of macrophages on H. pylori eradication. Our findings will provide not only a new therapeutic method for H. pylori eradication, but also an attractive drug candidate for treatment other pathogens that escape the host immune response.
幽门螺杆菌能有效对抗巨噬细胞杀伤作用,是其持续感染的主要原因,但机制不明。我们前期研究发现,细胞因子LECT2通过受体CD209a激活巨噬细胞,增强细菌性败血症小鼠的保护性免疫,该调控机制可能成为巨噬细胞杀灭幽门螺杆菌的有效途径。本项目针对幽门螺杆菌在巨噬细胞内免疫逃逸问题,在细胞水平和动物水平研究LECT2处理对感染幽门螺杆菌的小鼠巨噬细胞吞噬和杀菌能力的影响,阐明LECT2激活巨噬细胞功能杀灭幽门螺杆菌的作用;通过RNAi、细胞转染、巨噬细胞去除和回输等技术,探讨LECT2是否通过受体CD209a调控巨噬细胞功能影响幽门螺杆菌的吞噬和杀灭;进一步研究LECT2作用对幽门螺杆菌感染巨噬细胞吞噬体成熟的影响,及巨噬细胞Ca2+浓度、pH值、活性氧活性氮的产生、细胞因子表达的变化,以期明确LECT2通过CD209a对巨噬细胞功能影响的具体机制。该研究有助于寻找新的幽门螺杆菌非抗生素治疗方法。
巨噬细胞在幽门螺杆菌(H. pylori)感染的免疫应答中发挥重要作用。我们的前期研究发现,细胞因子LECT2通过受体CD209a介导调控小鼠巨噬细胞功能,增强对大肠杆菌的吞噬和杀灭能力,这种调控作用,或许可能成为杀灭存活于巨噬细胞内的H. pylori的一种新处理手段和思路。本项目在国家自然科学基金的资助下,自2015年1月开始了LECT2通过CD209a受体调控巨噬细胞参与抗幽门螺杆菌的研究。研究结果阐明了LECT2通过调控巨噬细胞增强了感染H. pylori小鼠的细菌清除能力。进一步发现LECT2通过调控巨噬细胞中CD209a和Raf-1介导NF-κB信号通路的活化,从而增强巨噬细胞杀灭H. pylori的能力。本研究成果揭示了LECT2在抗H. pylori免疫反应中的保护作用机制,为H. pylori相关性疾病的治疗提供新的药物靶标。该研究不但有助于我们寻找新的H. pylori非抗生素治疗方法,而且对其他感染人体免疫细胞逃逸宿主免疫反应的病原治疗也有重要的指导意义。
