FIGURE 1
Disruption of gastric ENS in H. pylori infection. (A) Tissue clearing of gastric mucosal biopsy showed a disruption in the neural structure in H. pylori infection compared to normal control; (B) Full‐thickness immunofluorescent staining showed a decrease in PGP9.5 staining in H. pylori infection in the muscularis mucosae layer; (C) A significant decrease in neuron density and neuroinflammatory score was noted in H. pylori infection; (D) external validation confirmed a significant decrease in neuron density and neuroinflammatory score in different degrees of H. pylori gastritis, compared to normal control. H. pylori, Helicobacter pylori.

MMP‐9 was mainly expressed in macrophages. (A) Significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in H. pylori infection; (B) Single cell sequencing identified the cluster of MMP‐9 in macrophages; (C) Immunofluorescence staining of MMP‐9 and CD11b, scale bar 30 µm; (D) Association between MMP‐9 and macrophages; (E) KEGG pathway analysis of DEGs in MMP+ macrophages and MMP9‐macrophages. H. pylori, Helicobacter pylori; MMP‐9, Matrix metalloproteinase‐9.

FIGURE 3
H. pylori infection induced apoptosis of SH‐SY5Y through upregulation of MMP9 in macrophages. (A) Expression of MMP‐9 in THP‐1 cells after H. pylori infection; (B) Zymography of supernatant from infected THP‐1 cell, SB‐3CT (20 μM) were added before infection; (C) (D) SH‐SY5Y cells were treated with supernatant from infected THP‐1 cells, cell viability of SH‐SY5Y cells was measured by AnnexinV‐7AAD staining; (E) Full‐thickness Immunofluorescence staining of PGP9.5 and CD68, M:Mucosa, MM: Muscularis Mucosa,SM: Submucosa, MP: Muscularis Propria, scale bar (left) 500 µm, scale bar (right) 20 µm. H. pylori, Helicobacter pylori; MMP‐9, Matrix metalloproteinase‐9.
