TheiceAlocus ofHelicobacter pyloriincludes one of two mutually exclusive gene families,iceA1andiceA2. Colonization withiceA1strains is associated with enhanced acute mucosal inflammation, and adherence to gastric epithelial cells in vitro induces expression oficeA1but noticeA2mRNA; however, both transcripts can be detected in vivo. The aim of this study was to determine whether differing levels oficeAtranscription in vivo may contribute to disease pathogenesis. RNA from 41H. pylori-positive gastric biopsy specimens was reverse transcribed to cDNA. Quantitative PCR was performed using biotinylated iceA1,iceA2, and 16S rRNA primers, and binding of biotinylated products to streptavidin-coated plates was detected by hybridization with a fluorescein-labeled probe.iceAgenotypes were determined by PCR and sequence analysis. All 41 samples contained detectableH. pylori16S rRNA, with similar levels iniceA1- (n= 10) andiceA2(n= 31)-colonized patients (P= 0.34). Biopsy specimens from four (40%) and 19 (61%) persons colonized withiceA1oriceA2strains, respectively, had detectableiceARNA. Acute inflammatory scores were significantly higher iniceA1RNA-positive patients than iniceA1RNA-negative,iceA2RNA-positive, oriceA2RNA-negative subjects (P≤ 0.05 for each). Within theiceA2RNA-positive group,H. pyloristrains with a single 35-amino-acid cassette were associated with significantly higher mucosaliceA2transcript levels (P= 0.014 versus strains with two cassettes). These results indicate that the levels of transcription ofH. pylori iceA1andiceA2and of 16S rRNA are independent and that particulariceA2gene structures are associated with enhanced transcription. The finding thaticeA1transcription levels are significantly associated with the intensity of neutrophilic infiltration suggests that heterogeneity in inflammatory scores among persons colonized withH. pylori iceA1strains reflects levels oficeA1transcription in vivo.
