Effects of Helicobacter pylori Water Extract on Expression of Endothelial Adhesion Molecules by Norimasa Yoshida, Kyoichi Kassai, Hironobu Murase, Yukiko Tanaka, Satoshi Kokura, Hiroshi Ichikawa, Yuji Naito, Takeshi Okanoue, Toshikazu Yoshikawa

“…In a fractionation study, approximately 7 kDa fraction showed peak activity. This activity was tolerant to heating and trypsin digestion. These results indicate that H pylori water extract contains water-soluble, low-molecular, nonprotein substances which induce upregulation of adhesion molecules on human umbilical vein endothelial cells, suggesting that products of H pylori may elicit gastric mucosal inflammation by promoting expression of endothelial adhesion molecules.…”

T Helper 17 Cells in Autoimmune Liver Diseases by Masanori Abe, Yoichi Hiasa, Morikazu Onji

“…In contrast, another distinct subset of T cells, regulatory T cells (Treg), downregulate immune responses and play an important role in maintaining self-tolerance. In addition, there is a reciprocal relationship between Th17 cells and Tregs, in development and effector functions, and the balance between Th17 and Treg cells can affect the outcome of immune responses, particularly in autoimmune diseases. …”
