Abstract

Background & aims Helicobacter pylori uniquely colonizes the human stomach and produces gastric mucosal inflammation. High-output nitric oxide production by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is associated with immune activation and tissue injury. Because mononuclear cells comprise a major part of the cellular inflammatory response to H. pylori infection, the ability of H. pylori to induce iNOS in macrophages was assessed.Methods H. pylori preparations were added to RAW 264.7 murine macrophages, and iNOS expression was assessed by Northern blot analysis, enzyme activity assay, and NO2- release.Results Both whole H. pylori and French press lysates induced concentration-dependent NO2- production, with peak levels 20-fold above control. These findings were paralleled by marked increases in iNOS messenger RNA and enzyme activity levels. iNOS expression was synergistically increased with interferon gamma, indicating that the H. pylori effect can be amplified by other macrophage-activating factors. Studies of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) content and polymyxin B inhibition of LPS suggested that the H. pylori effect was attributable to both LPS-dependent and -independent mechanisms.Conclusions iNOS expression in macrophages is activated by highly stable H. pylori products and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of H. pylori-associated gastric mucosal disease.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Chronic inflammation, including inflammatory bowel disease and Helicobacter pylori-induced gastritis, induces iNOS and generates large quantities of NO, forming nitrosating and oxidant species such as N2O3 and peroxynitrite, which might cause mutagenesis through deamination, nitration of DNA, or inhibition of the DNA repair system.

    “However, chronic inflammation, including inflammatory bowel disease and Helicobacter pylori-induced gastritis induce inducible NOS (iNOS) and generate large quantities of NO [22,146,147], forming nitrosating and oxidant species such as N2O3 and peroxynitrite, which might cause mutagenesis through deamination, nitration of DNA, or inhibition of the DNA repair system [148,149].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
