摘要
Gastric mucosal hypertrophy/nodular hyperplasia occurs as a consequence of Helicobacter infection in mice and humans. The pathogenesis of this hyperplastic response is not understood. To determine the role of host cellular immunity in gastric mucosal hypertrophy/hyperplasia, 6-8-week-old female euthymic BALB/c (n = 30) or NIH athymic nude (n = 40) mice were inoculated with N. heilmannii. Equal numbers of uninoculated mice of each strain served as controls. Mice from each group were euthanatized at 0.5, 6, 12, and 18 months postinoculation (PI). Lymphoplasmacytic gastritis and lymphoid follicle development were less severe in nude mice than in euthymic mice at <6 months PI. The prevalence of gastritis at 0.5, 6, 12, and Is months PI was 0%, 17%, 67%, and 88%, respectively, in infected nude mice and 33%, 83%, 71%, and 100%, respectively, in infected BALB/c mice. CD4+ T cells in infected nude mice were evident at <greater than or equal to>6 months PI but were less numerous than in infected BALB/c mice at comparable time intervals. However, numbers of CD4+ T cells increased substantially throughout the experiment in infected BALB/c mice. The prevalence of nodular mucosal hyperplasia at 0.5, 6, 12, and 18 months PI was 0%, 0%, 33%, and 20%, respectively, in infected nude mice and 0%, 33%, 80%, and 80%, respectively, in infected BALB/c mice. Nodular hyperplasia occurred in association with the appearance of chronic lymphoplasmacytic inflammation and CD4+ T cells at 12 and 18 months PI in nude mice. H. heilmannii-associated gastritis and mucosal remodeling is reduced in immunodeficient mouse strains lacking normal CD4+ T cell numbers as compared with the response in immunocompetent mice. Additionally, CD4 immunocompetence is an integral aspect of the mucosal hypertrophy/nodular hyperplasia in experimental H, heilmannii-associated disease of mice.
