摘要
幽门螺杆菌(Hp)是一种参与多种胃、十二指肠疾病的重要人类病原体,可引起慢性胃炎和消化性溃疡,并与胃癌密切相关。人类幽门螺杆菌感染的特征是胃黏膜炎症部位中性粒细胞持续浸润。幽门螺杆菌中性粒细胞激活蛋白(H.py-lorineutrophil-activating protein,HP-NAP)正是由于其能活化中性粒细胞而被如此命名。HP-NAP不仅是重要的毒力因子,而且是主要的候选疫苗抗原。本文综述了HP-NAP的结构、生物学活性和致病机制等的研究进展,并对其应用前景进行了展望。
Helicobacter pylorus is a major human pathogen associated with severe gastroduodenal diseases,including ulcers and cancers.Continuous recruitment of neutrophils into the inflamed gastric mucosal tissue is a hallmark of Helicobacter pylori infection in humans.An H.pylori protein that is highly immunogenic in humans and mice has been identified recently.This protein has been termed H.pylori neutrophil-activating protein(HP-NAP),due to its ability of activating neutrophils.HP-NAP is not only a bacterial virulence factor,but also a strong vaccine candidate.The research progresses of HP-NAP are reviewed,and their wide developmental prospects are also forecasted in this paper.
