Abstract:

The human specific bacterial pathogen() is associated with severe gastric diseases, including gastric cancer. Recently, the increasing resistance makes the usage of antibiotics less effectively. Therefore, development of a new antimicrobial agent is required to controlinfection. In the current study, the inhibitory effect ofβ-caryophyllene ongrowth, as well as the antibacterial therapeutic effect, has been demonstrated.β-caryophyllene inhibitedgrowth via the downregulation ofE,N,B, andA and also downregulated virulence factors such as CagA, VacA, and SecA proteins.β-caryophyllene inhibited expression of several T4SS components, so that CagA translocation into-infected AGS gastric cancer cells was decreased byβ-caryophyllene treatment. β-caryophyllene also inhibited VacA entry through the downregulation of T5SS. Afterβ-caryophyllene administration on Mongolian gerbils, the immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Hematoxylin&Eosin stains showed therapeutic effects in the treated groups. Hematological data, which was consistent with histological data, support the therapeutic effect ofβ-caryophyllene administration. Such a positive effect of β-caryophyllene oninfection potently substantiates the natural compound as being capable of being used as a new antimicrobial agent or functional health food to help patients who are suffering from gastroduodenal diseases due toinfection.
