Helicobacter pylori neutrophil-activating protein (HP-NAP) is a virulence factor that activates phagocytic NADPH-oxidase. The effect of HP-NAP on the production of tissue factor (TF), plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 (PAI-2), and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) by human blood mononuclear cells (MNC) was evaluated by using functional and immunological assays and mRNA analysis. HP-NAP induced time- and dose-dependent increases in TF and PAI-2, with a maximal effect at 300 nmol/L (>15-fold increase in antigens). No changes in u-PA were observed. When whole bacteria were used, an H. pylori mutant lacking HP-NAP was significantly less active than the wild-type strain. MNC from a patient with chronic granulomatous disease behaved as do normal cells, which indicates that HP-NAP effects can occur independently of NADPH-oxidase. HP-NAP, by inducing the coordinate expression of cell procoagulant and antifibrinolytic activities, might favor fibrin deposition and contribute to the inflammatory reaction of gastric mucosa elicited by H. pylori.

D007963 Leukocytes, Mononuclear Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules. Mononuclear Leukocyte,Mononuclear Leukocytes,PBMC Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells,Peripheral Blood Human Mononuclear Cells,Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell,Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells,Leukocyte, Mononuclear
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D004306 Dose-Response Relationship, Immunologic A specific immune response elicited by a specific dose of an immunologically active substance or cell in an organism, tissue, or cell.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D006105 Granulomatous Disease, Chronic A defect of leukocyte function in which phagocytic cells ingest but fail to digest bacteria, resulting in recurring bacterial infections with granuloma formation. When chronic granulomatous disease is caused by mutations in the CYBB gene, the condition is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern. When chronic granulomatous disease is caused by CYBA, NCF1, NCF2, or NCF4 gene mutations, the condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D014568 Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator A proteolytic enzyme that converts PLASMINOGEN to FIBRINOLYSIN where the preferential cleavage is between ARGININE and VALINE.
