Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the relationship between the platelet-activating factor (lpp) of H. pylori and clinical pathology of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We produced the lpp-His fusion protein and anti-lpp Ab. By western assay with anti-lpp Ab and the sera from ACS patients with or without H. pylori infection, the lpp was detected in only 2 infected but not in non-infected patients. These indicated that the lpp was transmigrated into blood. Regarding the platelet aggregation induced by the lpp, we confirmed the phenomenon using platelets from 3 healthy adults with or without H. pylori infection, demonstrating that the lpp induced the platelet aggregation irrespective of H. pylori infection. Concerning the role of lpp on the bacterial cells, the comparative analyses showed that the lpp-disrupted strains constructed could survive longer time than wild strains in liquid culture at 1.5% NaCl concentration, indicating that the lpp plays a critical role against to osmotic stress.
