Objective To evaluate the relationship between functional oipA gene of Helicobacterpylori and digestive disease. Methods Biopsy gastric mucosa were obtained from 360 patients who would get gastroscopy.Hp were isolated from urease positive samples and partly urease negative samples,and improved by microscope,urease experiment and 16SrRNA PCR. OipA and cagA of the isolates were obtained by PCR and the statas of oipA signal region were analysised after sequencing. Analyze the relevance between functional oipA gene of Helicobacter pylori and digestive disease.Results 106 isolated Hp were obtained,in which 72 strains with cagA gene positive,87 with oipA signal region gene positive (80 the statas of signal region was on and 1 was off;6 could not be decided).The frequency of functional oipA were both significantly higher than cagA in ulcer and atrophic gastritis.Conclusion The relationship between functional oipA gene and digestive disease was more closer than that of cagA.

Objective To establish an indirect ELISA method with Helicobacter pylori (HP)recombinated antigene OipA6 as coating antigen after prokaryotic expression and purification.Methods The ELISA plate was coated with Hp OipA6 recom-binant protein as antigen.Serum specimens and enzyme labeled anti human IgG were added.The reaction conditions was op-timized.The results of indirect ELISA were compared with the detection of oipA gene.Results When Hp OipA6 recombi-nant protein was 1.0 mg/ml,the condition of coating was 2~8℃ one night,the dilution of serum specimens was 1∶100 and enzyme labeled anti human IgG was 1∶4 000,the incubation time of enzyme labeled anti human IgG was 40 min,the chro-mogenic time was 15 min,the result of ELISA was the best.The sensitivity and specificity of the indirect ELISA were both higher than the detection of oipA gene.Conclusion It suggested that the indirect ELISA,in which Hp OipA6 recombinant protein were coated,may be an appropriate assisted method in detection of high virulent Hp infection.

Objective To understand the status of oipA gene of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) and to evaluate the relationship between oipA gene and digestive disease, Methods Biopsy gastric mucosa were obtained from 360 patients with digestive disease under gastroscopy. H.pylori was isolated from urease positive and some negative samples, and then identified by microscope, urease test and 16 S rRNA PCR. oipA and cagA genes of the isolates were amplified by PCR and the status of oipA signal region was analyzed after sequencing. The relationship between functional oipA gene of H. pylori and digestive disease was investigated. Results One hundred and six isolats were obtained. Seventy-two strains were positive for cagA gene and 87 were positive for oipA gene in signal region. Eighty strains were on open status in signal region called functioal oipA gene and 1 was on off status. The status of other 6 strains were uncertain. The frequency of functional oipA in ulcer and atrophic gastritis were higher than that of cagA(100% and 78.26% vs 58.33% and 39.13%).Conclusion Functional oipA gene is closely related with ulcer and atrophic gastritis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of DNA vaccine expressed Helicobacter pylori(Hp) oipA on protecting against Hp infection.Methods:The ORFs of Hp oipA had been inserted into the eukaryotic expressing vector pVAX1 and SGC-7901 cells had been transfected with recombinant plasmid pVAX1-oipA. The expression of oipA had been detected by RT-PCR and ELISA. After extracted and purified, pVAX1-oipA had been injected into BALB/c mice through muscles of right leg one time each week for three weeks(100 ?g each mouse). pVAX1 blank and normal saline had been used as the control groups. Titer of antibodies had been detected by ELISA two months after the last immunization. Based on the confirmation of immunological response in the pVAX1 groups, mice had been given orogastric challenged with live Hp Sydney strain three times(0.5?108/0.5 ml each mouse). Four weeks after challenge, mice had been sacrificed. Histological change and the colonization of Hp in the gastric mucosa had been detected by urease test, the culture of Hp, and electronic microscopy.Results:SGC-7901 cells transfected with pVAX1-oipA had expressed corresponding production at the level of transcription and translation. Immunized mice had been induced anti-oipA antibodies. After challenged with bacterium, as contrast to immunized mice groups injected with pVAX1-oipA, pVAX1 blank, normal saline, the positive rate of urease test of gastric mucosa was 0(0/10), 90%(9/10), 100%(5/5)respectively,the positive rate of cultures of Hp was 20%(2/10), 90%(9/10), 100%(5/5)respectively. Histological findings: the different degree of erosion had been observed in control group, but 80%(8/10)of gastric mucosa were normal in immunized mice.Conclusion:oipA DNA could induce effective immune response in protection against Hp infection.
