Our aims were to establish a mouse model of H. pylori mfection, to study pathogenesis of gastritis and gastric cancer and to investigate new treatment strategies in this model. Both spiral and coccoid forms of H. pyfori strains 17874,25 and 553/93 caused chronic gastritis in BALB/cA mice during 30 weeks of infection. lnfection with strain 553/93 displayed the most severe gastritis. Specific antibodies were detected using ELISA and immunoblot in mice infected with H. pylori following 4 weeks for 17874 spirals, and 16 weeks for 17874 coccoids, and both sprials and coccoids of two other strains. Dietary factors influenced the abilities to recover H. pyfori from the infected mice through culture. One diet, without fish meal and heated at 140-15OvC, gave the optimal H. pyiori colonization and highest inflammation score in mufine stomach among 4 commercial rodent diets tested. The changes were most dramatic (100% to 10-20% infection rate) when the infection was carried out in animals already fed on a specific diet. A H. pylori strain 119/95 (CagA and VacA positive) was found to predominate (90.5%) in the murine stomach from inocula containing nine H. pyfori strains by WD-PCR among 577 colonies recovered fiom mice. C57BLf6 and BALB/cA mice showed higher inflammation scores than CBAlCa or NMRl mice at 4 andlor 10 weeks post-inoculation. Subsequently C57BL/6 mice (n=5) inoculated with a H. pylori mouse passaged strain 119195 developed a gastric squamous cell papilloma after 13 months. Three out of five animals developed high-grade B-cell lymphoma derived from a MALT Iymphoma at the squamous-corpus border with destations also in the liver, spleen and kidney. An astaxanthin-rich algal meal from the microalga ~umatococ~~pl~ial~sand vitamin C &bit €2 pylori growth at 0.3 125 to 2.5 mg/ml (astaxanthin content, 6.25 to 50 pg/ml) and 0.5 to 2 m@ml in vitro respectively. Furthermore, these antioxidants decreased the gastric colonization and &=tion signifkantly in infected BALB/cA mice. The effect on inhibition of H. pylori infection by the astaxanthin-rich algal meal was found to occur simultaneously with a modulation H. pyfori-induced T-lymphocyte response, switching from a Thl- to a Thlm-response. These studies illustrate that E. pyfori can induce chronic gastritis and gastric lymphoma in an optimized mouse model. Dietary factors influence H pylori infection and antioxidants may become a new treatment strategy against H. pylori infection in humans.

The organism associated with active chronic gastritis was isolated in 1983 and named Campylobacter pyloridis in 1984 [Warren et al. 1983; Marshall et al. 1984]. It fulfilled Koch’s postulates in one healthy volunteer [Marshall et al. 1985]. The name was first changed to Campylobacter pylori, then to Helicobacter pylori in 1989 when taxonomic studies showed that this organism did not belong to the genus Campylobacter [Goodwin et al. 1989]. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections are ubiquitous and causes chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric carcinoma [Hansson et al.
