Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) represents the inducible key enzyme of arachidonic acid metabolism and contributes to the pathogenesis of gastroduodenal ulcers and gastric cancer. Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with elevated gastric COX-2 levels, but the mechanisms underlying H. pylori-dependent cox-2 gene expression are unclear. H. pylori stimulated cox-2 mRNA and protein abundance in gastric epithelial cells in vitro and in vivo, and functional analysis of the cox-2 gene promoter mapped its H. pylori-responsive region to a proximal CRE/Ebox element at -56 to -48. Moreover, USF1/-2 and CREB transcription factors binding to this site were identified to transmit H. pylori-dependent cox-2 transcription. Activation of MEK/ERK1/-2 signalling by bacterial virulence factors located outside the H. pylori cag pathogenicity island (cagPAI) was found to mediate bacterial effects on the cox-2 promoter. Our study provides a detailed description of the molecular pathways underlying H. pylori-dependent cox-2 gene expression in gastric epithelial cells, and may thus contribute to a better understanding of mechanisms underlying H. pylori pathogenicity.
