Abstract
ABSTRACT
Helicobacter pylori
infection of the stomach causes an active immune response that includes stimulation of inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) expression. Although NO can kill
H. pylori
, the bacterium persists indefinitely, suggesting that NO production is inadequate. We determined if the NO derived from iNOS in macrophages was dependent on the availability of its substrate,
l
-arginine (
l
-Arg). Production of NO by
H. pylori
-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells was dependent on the
l
-Arg concentration in the culture medium, and the 50% effective dose for
l
-Arg was 220 μM, which is above reported plasma
l
-Arg levels. While iNOS mRNA induction was
l
-Arg independent, iNOS protein increased in an
l
-Arg-dependent manner that did not involve changes in iNOS protein degradation.
l
-Lysine, an inhibitor of
l
-Arg uptake, attenuated
H. pylori
-stimulated iNOS protein expression, translation, NO levels, and killing of
H. pylori
. While
l
-Arg starvation suppressed global protein translation, at concentrations of
l
-Arg at which iNOS protein was only minimally expressed in response to
H. pylori
, global translation was fully restored and eukaryotic translation initiation factor α was dephosphorylated.
H. pylori
lacking the gene
rocF
, which codes for a bacterial arginase, induced higher levels of NO production by increasing iNOS protein levels. When murine gastric macrophages were activated with
H. pylori
, supraphysiologic levels of
l
-Arg were required to permit iNOS protein expression and NO production. These findings indicate that
l
-Arg is rate limiting for iNOS translation and suggest that the levels of
l
-Arg that occur in vivo do not permit sufficient NO generation by the host to kill
H. pylori
.
