Objective:To investigate the effect of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) on human gastric epithelial cells, the changes of cell morphology, apoptosis and proliferation, as well as the expression of p53 and PUMA, the relationship between them, To elucidate the effect and pathogenic mechanisms of Hp on human gastric epithelial cells in vivo and vitro, and establish new target and direction for further researches on treatment of Hp correlation diseases.Methods:In vivo:gastric mucosal lesions came from 153 patients without eradication therapy of Hp treated by endoscopic biopsy from our hospital(2007.1-2009.9).153 patients include Chronic Non-Atrophic Gastritis (CNAG) 37 cases, chronic atrophy gastritis and intestinal metaplasia 39 cases, dysplasia (DYS) 39 cases, gastric cancer (GC) 38 cases. The Hp infection was detected with Giemsa staining and the Expressions of mutant p53, PUMA protein were detected with immunohistochemical technique in different gastric mucosal lesions.In vitro:GES-1 were co-cultured with the supernatants of Hp, and divided into the following groups:(1) Experimental group of NCTC11637(CagA+, VacA+): groups(group A, B, C, D) were treated with different concentrations of Hp supernatants(11mg/ml,5.55mg/ml,2.775mg/ml,1.3875 mg/ml). (2)Experimental group of NCTC11639(CagA+, VacA-):groups(group A, B, C, D) were treated with different concentrations of Hp supernatants (7.5mg/ml,3.75mg/ml,1.875mg/ml, 0.9375 mg/ml). (3) the negative control treated with Hp medium. GES-1 were co-cultured with the supernatants of Hp at different time points (24h,48h and 72h)in Each group. The cell morphology was observed with inverted microscope, The inhibition rates of cell growth were determined by MTT assay, The level of p53 and PUMA protein was determined by Western blot.
