Figure Lengend Snippet: CXCL-8 secretion varied with glycan alterations. (A) Experimental workflow for assessing pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion of glycosylation mutants compared to wildtype H. pylori . Image was created using BioRender. (B) The glycoprotein mutant with elaborated LPS structures, Δ579, induced increased CXCL-8 secretion from gastric epithelial cells relative to wildtype. (C) The LPS mutant, Δwzk, induced decreased CXCL-8 secretion from gastric epithelial cells relative to wildtype. (D–I) Variable impact on CXCL-8 secretion was observed with glycoprotein mutants Δ580 and Δ1179, and LPS mutant, ΔwaaL, compared to wildtype depending on the coculture experiment. Error bars reflect technical replicates. Tukey’s multiple comparison test one-way ANOVA was used. (**P< 0.01, ***P< 0.001, ****P< 0.0001, ns, not significant). Data are representative of independent replicate experiments (n > 3) that exhibited the same findings.
Article Snippet: Human Cytokine DuoSet Enzyme Linked Immunoassay (ELISA) kits (R&D Systems) were utilized to detect relative concentrations of CXCL-8 (IL-8), IL-10, TNF- α IL-6, or IL-1 β conditioned media samples.
