Helicobacter pylori can cause many kinds of gastric disorders, ranging from gastritis to gastric cancer. Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA)+H. pylori is more likely to cause gastric histopathologic damage than CagA–H. pylori. However, the underlying mechanism needs to be further investigated. Mice were intragastrically administered equal amounts of CagA+ or CagA–H. pylori. Four weeks later, 24 chemokines in stomachs were measured using a mouse chemokine array, and the phenotypes of the recruited gastric CD4+ T cells were analyzed. The migration pathway was evaluated. Finally, the correlation between each pair among the recruited CD4+ T cell sub-population, H. pylori colonization level, and histopathologic damage score were determined by Pearson correlation analysis. The concentration of chemokines, CCL3 and CX3CL1, were significantly elevated in CagA–H. pylori-infected gastric mucosa than in CagA+H. pylori-infected gastric mucosa. Among them, CX3CL1 secreted by gastric epithelial cells, which was elicited more effectively by CagA–H. pylori than by the CagA+ strain, dramatically promoted mucosal CD4+ T cell migration. The expression of CX3CR1, the only known receptor of CX3CL1, was upregulated on the surface of gastric CD4+ T cells in CagA–H. pylori-infected stomach. In addition, most of the CX3CR1-positive gastric CD4+ T cells were CD44+CD69–CCR7– effector memory T cells (Tem). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the recruited CX3CR1+CD4+ Tem cell population was negatively correlated with H. pylori colonization level and histopathologic damage score. CagA–H. pylori promotes gastric mucosal CX3CR1+CD4+ Tem recruitment in mice.
