De novo lipogenesis (DNL) has been reported to involve in a serial types of disease. A standard triple therapy, including a PPI, omeprazole, and antibiotics (clarithromycin and amoxicillin), is widely used as the first-line regimen for helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-infectious treatment. The objective of this study is to explore the function of a standard triple therapy on DNL. We collected the clinical sample from the patients diagnosed with or without H. pylori infection. Oil red staining, real-time PCR, western blotting (WB) and adipored experiment were performed to detect the effect of a standard triple therapy on DNL. The expression of relative key enzymes was assessed in gastric mucosa of clinical sample by IHC. Both 54 cases with H. pylori-negative and 37 cases with H. pylori-positive were enrolled in this study, and IHC assay showed that both fatty acid synthase (FASN) and ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) expression, the critical enzymes involved in DNL, were increased in gastric mucosa of patients with H. pylori-positive compared with that with H. pylori-negative. Real-time PCR and WB analysis showed that neither clarithromycin nor amoxicillin inhibited FASN and ACLY expression, while treatment of BGC823 cells with omeprazole with 200 μM or 300 μM significantly abolished FASN and ACLY expression, leading to reduce lipid content. These findings suggested that omeprazole suppressed DNL in gastric cells, implying that targeting DNL is an alternative strategy in improving the treatment of patients with H. pylori infection.
