Neutrophil activation provides a major source of oxygen free radicals, which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of peptic ulceration. AIM: To investigate if cytotoxin producing strains of H pylori are associated with the generation of oxidative burst in polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). PATIENTS: 76 patients undergoing endoscopy of whom 45 had peptic ulcer and 31 chronic gastritis only were studied. METHODS: Strains of H pylori were cultured in Brucella broth. After 48 hours, bacteria were harvested by centrifugation and a bacterial suspension prepared as a stimulus for PMN oxidative burst using chemiluminescence. PMNs were prepared from health blood donors. To test the ability of strains to produce cytotoxin, culture supernatants of each were concentrated by polyethylene glycol and tested on cultured Vero cells for intracellular vacuolation. RESULTS: 30 of 45 (66.7%) peptic ulcer patients induced cell vacuolation versus nine of 31 (29%) strains from patients with chronic gastritis only (p &lt; 0.01). Cytotoxin positive strains of H pylori regardless of the presence or absence of peptic ulcer displayed an increased induction of respiratory burst in PMNs compared with toxin negative strains from patients with chronic gastritis only (p &lt; 0.05). Among the toxin negative strains, those from patients with peptic ulcer did not show a significant increase of the oxidative burst than those from patients without peptic ulcer (NS). CONCLUSION: Toxinogenicity of strains of H pylori seems to be correlated with neutrophil respiratory burst and peptic ulceration. The ability of some strains of H pylori to produce cytotoxin and to induce the oxidative burst in neutrophils may be important in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.38.6.841","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,18]],"date-time":"2007-09-18T17:41:31Z","timestamp":1190137291000},"page":"841-845","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Association of cytotoxin production and neutrophil activation by strains of Helicobacter pylori isolated from patients with peptic ulceration and chronic gastritis."],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Q B","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"I M","family":"Nakashabendi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M S","family":"Mokhashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J B","family":"Dawodu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C G","family":"Gemmell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R I","family":"Russell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1996,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"598","article-title":"Free radicals, antioxidants and human disease: where are we now?","volume":"119","author":"Halliwell, B.; Gutteridge, J.M.C.; Cross, C.E.","year":"1992","unstructured":"Halliwell B, Gutteridge JMC, Cross CE.
