Helicobacter pylori outer membrane vesicles directly promote Aβ aggregation and enhance Aβ toxicity in APP/PS1 mice

Abstract Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has been found associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with unclear mechanisms. Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs) are spherical particles secreted by Gram-negative bacteria. Here we explore the effect of H. pylori OMVs on Aβ aggregation and toxicity....

description Abstract Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has been found associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with unclear mechanisms. Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs) are spherical particles secreted by Gram-negative bacteria. Here we explore the effect of H. pylori OMVs on Aβ aggregation and toxicity. We show intraperitoneally-injected H. pylori OMVs enter the brain and co-localize with Aβ plaques in APP/PS1 mice, accompanied by aggravated Aβ pathology, exacerbated cognitive deficits and synaptic impairment, indicating that H. pylori OMVs promote β-amyloidosis and AD development. The in vitro results further identify that H. pylori OMVs significantly accelerate Aβ aggregation and increase Aβ-induced neurotoxicity. Through lipidomic analysis, we reveal that lipid components, particularly LPC 18:0 in H. pylori OMVs accelerate Aβ aggregation and enhance Aβ neurotoxicity. Moreover, H. pylori OMVs-enhanced Aβ neurotoxicity is mediated by Ca2+. These findings reveal a mechanism of H. pylori OMVs in accelerating AD development in which the bacterial OMVs-originated lipid components play a key role in promoting Aβ aggregation and neurotoxicity.
