Persistent Helicobacter pylori infection causes a variety of gastrointestinal diseases and even gastric cancer. H. pylori invades gastric epithelial cells to survive and proliferate, which is one of the key factors in persistent colonization. A Published study has confirmed that cells can eliminate intracellular H. pylori through xenophagy to maintain intracellular balance. However, a growing body of evidences indicate that H. pylori can inhibit xenophagy by miRNA through regulating the expression of key autophagy-related genes. Through western blot analysis, mRFP-GFP-LC3 transfection assay, and transmission electron microscopy, we found that H. pylori infection obstructed autophagy flux degradation stage in GES-1 cell lines. Gentamicin protection assay confirmed that inhibit xenophagy is benefit for intracellular H. pylori survive. miR-30c-1-3p and miR-30c-5p were upregulated in GES-1 cell lines after infecting with H. pylori, resulting in the negative regulation on xenophagy. Further studies through bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assays confirmed that ATG14 and ULK1 were the target genes of miR-30c-1-3p and that ATG12 was the target gene of miR-30c-5p. The overexpression of miR-30c-1-3p and miR-30c-5p reduces the expression of ATG14, ULK1, and ATG12 at mRNA level and also decreased intracellular H. pylori elimination in GES-1 cells. The above results suggested that the inhibition on xenophagy by miR-30c-1-3p and miR-30c-5p through ATG14, ULK1, and ATG12 targeting benefitted intracellular H. pylori in the evasion of xenophagy clearance.
