Abstract
-
Helicobacter pylori colonizes human gastric mucosa. Its infection
is associated with gastric diseases including gastric
cancer. CagA is one of the most important toxins produced
by H. pylori. It is related to gastric cancer which can be injected
into host cells via a type IV secretion system (T4SS).
CagL is a structural component of T4SS apparatus, which
triggers host cell signaling pathway. It has been reported that
CagL polymorphisms may influence the severity of disease
development. To explore the contribution of CagL polymorphisms
between East Asian and Western H. pylori in pathogenesis,
cagL gene in G27 H. pylori was swapped by K74 cagL
which is identical to East Asian CagL consensus sequence and
by Western 26695 H. pylori, resulting in G27ΔcagL/cagLK74
and G27ΔcagL/cagL26695, respectively. Intriguingly, G27ΔcagL/
cagLK74 showed significantly less ability of IL-8 induction
than G27ΔcagL/cagL26695 while displayed similar abilities of
CagA phosphorylation, and cell elongation. Taken together,
this study suggests that the CagL polymorphism may influence
IL-8 induction, and K74 CagL has less ability to induce
IL-8 secretion than G27 or 26695 CagL. Further research
should address how the different capabilities of IL-8 induction
between intraspecies-CagL are associated with the large
differences of the incidence of gastric cancer between East
Asian and Western countries.

Abstract
-
We isolated and cultured bacteria inhabiting solar saltern ponds in Taean-Gun, Chungnam Province, Korea. All of the isolated 64 strains were found to be moderately halophilic bacteria, growing in a salt range of 2-20 %, with an optimal concentration of 5% salt. Bacterial diversity among the isolated halophiles was evaluated via RFLP analyses of PCR-amplified 16S rDNAs, followed by phylogenetic analysis of the partial 16S rDNA sequences. The combination of restriction enzyme digestions with HaeIII, CfoI, MspI and RsaI generated 54 distinct patterns. A neighbor-joining tree of the partial 16S rDNA sequences resulted in the division of the 64 strains into 2 major groups, 45 strains of [gammar]-Proteobacteria (70.3%) and 19 strains of Firmicutes (29.7%). The [alpha]-Proteobacteria and Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacterioides groups, which were repeatedly found to exist in thalassohaline environments, were not represented in our isolates. The [gammar]-Proteobacteria group consisted of several subgroups of the Vibrionaceae (37.5%), Pseudoalteromonadaceae (10.9%), Halomonadaceae (7.8%), Alteromonadaceae (7.8%), and Idiomarinaceae (6.3%). Members of Salinivibrio costicola (29.7%) were the most predominant species among all of the isolates, followed by Halobacillus treperi (12.5%). Additionally, three new species candidates were found, based on similarities of the 16S rDNA sequences to those of previously published species.
