The goal of this study was to evaluate the role of host immunity in gastritis and epithelial damage due to Helicobacter pylori. Splenocytes from H. pylori-infected and uninfected C57BL/6 mice were adoptively transferred to H. pylori-infected and uninfected severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. Transfer was verified by flow cytometry, and all mice were evaluated for the presence of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) by footpad inoculation with sterile H. pylori sonicate and for humoral immunity by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The severity of gastritis and gastric epithelial damage was quantified histologically, epithelial proliferation was determined by proliferating cell nuclear antigen staining, and colonization was quantified by culture. C57BL/6 mice, but not nonrecipient SCID mice, developed moderate gastritis in response to H. pylori. In contrast, recipient SCID mice developed severe gastritis involving 50 to 100% of the gastric mucosa and strong DTH responses not present in C57BL/6 mice. DTH, but not serum anti-H. pylori immunoglobulin G, correlated with adoptive transfer, gastritis, and bacterial clearance. Severe gastritis, but not bacterial colonization, was associated with epithelial metaplasia, erosions, and an elevated labeling index. This study demonstrates that (i) adaptive immunity is essential for development of gastritis due to H. pylori in mice, (ii) T-cell-enriched lymphocytes in SCID mice induce DTH and gastritis, which is more severe than donor gastritis, and (iii) the host inflammatory response, not direct bacterial contact, causes epithelial damage. The greater severity of gastritis in recipient SCID mice than in donor C57BL/6 mice suggests that gastritis is due to specific T-cell subsets and/or the absence of regulatory cell subsets in the transferred splenocytes.
