胃癌与胃微生态的研究进展

胃癌(gastric cancer)是我国常见恶性肿瘤之一,有着较高的发病率和死亡率。胃癌的发生是一个相对缓慢、多步骤、复杂的过程,可能与幽门螺杆菌(Helicobacter pylori,H.pylori)感染、环境、基因、吸烟等因素相关。随着高通量测序技术和宏基因组学等技术的发展和运用,大量研究表明胃肠道微生物与消化道系统疾病息息相关,其中胃微生物中H.pylori已被明确列为I类致癌因子。除了H.pylori,胃内其他共生菌与胃癌的发生也有密切的联系。本文将通过胃癌与H.pylori感染、胃癌与H.pylori根除、H.pylori与胃微生态、胃癌与胃微生态四个方面综述胃癌与胃微生物的关系,为日后胃癌的研究提供参考。

概述洗胃的方法、影响洗胃效果的相关因素及采取的相应措施。应根据患者的具体情况,正确选择洗胃时间及时机、采用合适的体位、洗胃液、胃管、置管途径、适当延长胃管插入长度,以提高洗胃效果,减少并发症的发生。     

大鼠浸水应激性胃粘膜损伤机制的研究

本工作观察了室温下单纯束缚加生理盐水,浸水应激加生理盐水,浸水应激加阿托品(0.5mg/kg),浸水应激加酚苄明(10mg/kg),浸水应激加戊巴比妥钠(30mg/kg)5组大鼠的胃粘膜损伤程度,胃酸分泌,胃壁结合粘液分泌和胃运动的变化。结果表明:大鼠浸水应激后胃粘膜损伤严重,胃酸分泌增加,胃壁结合粘液分泌减少,胃运动亢进;预先应用阿托品再浸水应激可显著减轻胃粘膜损伤程度,抑制胃酸分泌和胃运动,但增加胃壁结合粘液的分泌;预先应用应巴比妥钠亦显著减轻胃粘膜损伤程度,抑制胃运动和增加胃壁结合粘液的分泌,但对胃酸分泌无影响;预先应用酚苄明对胃粘膜损伤程度、胃酸分泌、胃壁结合粘液分泌和胃运动均无明显影响。上述结果提示,胃运动亢进、胃壁结合粘液分泌减少及胃酸分泌增加均不同程度地参与了浸水应激性胃粘膜损伤的形成,但在胃运动受到抑制及胃壁结合粘液分泌增加的情况下,仅胃酸的存在不致引起胃粘膜严重损伤。     

环状RNA：胃癌诊治的新星

环状RNA (circular RNA,circRNA)是一类闭合环状结构的RNA分子，广泛分布于各种组织中，它比线性RNA更稳定。circRNA分为外显子circRNA、外显子-内含子circRNA和内含子circRNA等3类。circRNA的主要功能为充当微RNA海绵、与RNA结合蛋白结合、翻译成蛋白质和调节转录等。近年来，大量研究表明，circRNA的异常表达在胃癌发生发展过程中起着至关重要的作用。circPTPN22、hsa＿circ＿0001772、circCYFIP2、hsa＿circ＿0017639和circPIP5K1A等的上调以及hsa＿circ＿002059、hsa＿circ＿0000190和circMTO1等的下调与胃癌的增殖和转移密切相关；而hsa＿circ＿0001313等影响胃癌细胞的顺铂耐药性。组织、血浆及外泌体中circPTPN22、hsa＿circ＿102958、hsa＿circ＿0141633、hsa＿circ＿0065149和hsa＿circ＿0026344等是胃癌新型诊断标志物；而hsa＿circ＿0005529、circ-RanGAP1、cir...     

Survivin与VEGF在良、恶性胃溃疡组织中的表达及研究

目的:研究凋亡基因生存素(Survivin)及血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)在良、恶性胃溃疡中的表达及二者在溃疡型胃癌中的表达与临床病理特征之间的关系,分析二者在胃癌发生发展中的作用和在胃癌中表达的相关性。方法:应用免疫组化S-P染色检测Survivin及VEGF在良性胃溃疡,胃溃疡伴中-重度不典型增生和溃疡性胃癌中的表达,结合临床病理特征进行相关分析。结果:Survivin及VEGF在良性胃溃疡中的表达率分别为16.2%、24.3%,在胃溃疡伴中-重度不典型中的表达率分别为52.3%、45.5%,在溃疡型胃癌中的表达率分别为71.4%、55.4%,差异具有显著性(P0.01);Survivin和VEGF的表达与溃疡型胃癌的浸润深度、淋巴结转移、TNM分期具有相关性。Survivin和VEGF的表达亦呈正相关。结论:Survivin基因在溃疡型胃癌组织中的表达显著增高,是胃癌演变进程中的重要步骤,过表达Survivin可能提示预后不良。Survivin对胃癌的诊断及预后有潜在的应用价值。Survivin和VEGF在溃疡型胃癌的发生发展中起协同作用,动态随访二者对胃溃疡的演变可能有一定的价值,可作为判断肿瘤进程和浸润转移的生物学指标。Survivin及VEGF的联合检测可能对胃癌的综合治疗提供理论依据,对其进行深入研究有望为胃癌的诊疗开辟新的天地。     

Protective effects of nebivolol against cold restraint stress-induced gastric ulcer in rats: role of NO, HO-1, and COX-1,2

Nebivolol, a β(1)-adrenoceptor antagonist, exhibits vasodilatory and anti-oxidative properties that rendering it attractive candidate for protecting against gastric ulcer. The aim of this study therefore is to evaluate the protective effects of nebivolol against cold restraint stress (CRS)-induced gastric ulcer in rats. Rats were restrained, and maintained at 4°C for 3 h. Nebivolol (5 mg/kg, p.o.) was suspended in 0.5% aqueous solution of carboxymethyl cellulose and was administered 30 min before CRS. Nebivolol exhibited gastroprotective effects as evidenced by significant decreases in ulcer index as well as free and total acid output, and pepsin activity in gastric juice in addition to gastric mucosal malondialdehyde concentration, with concomitant increases in gastric juice pH and mucin concentration along with gastric mucosal reduced glutathione and nitric oxide (NO) concentrations compared with CRS rats. Moreover, immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that nebivolol treatment markedly enhanced heme oxygenase-1 as well as cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 expressions. The protective effects of nebivolol were confirmed by gastric histopathological examination. Pretreatment with N(ω)-nitro-L-arginine, a NO synthase inhibitor, partly altered the protection afforded by nebivolol. In conclusion, nebivolol protected rats' gastric mucosa against CRS-induced gastric ulceration possibly through anti-oxidant activity, enhancement of gastric mucosal barrier and reduction in acid secretory parameters.     

Effect of diacarb on the carbonic anhydrase activity in the blood and gastric mucosa and pepsinogen concentration in the gastric mucosa of the rat

It was established that the activity of blood and gastric mucosa carboanhydrase increased after the introduction of food irritant (milk) into the stomach, as well as after the subcutaneous injection of histamine. This was accompanied by the increase of pepsinogen content in the gastric mucosa. When introduced into the stomach before the food irritant or histamine, acetazolamide inhibited blood and gastric mucosa carboanhydrase and reduced the content of pepsinogen in the gastric mucosa. Oral administration of acetazolamide for 5 days resulted in a more remarkable inhibition of blood and gastric mucosa carboanhydrase and in a drastically reduced content of pepsinogen in the gastric mucosa. The rate of pepsinogen biosynthesis by the gastric mucosa seems to depend on the activity of carboanhydrase in blood and in the gastric mucosa.     

Early onset gastric cancer: on the road to unraveling gastric carcinogenesis

Gastric cancer is thought to result from a combination of environmental factors and the accumulation of specific genetic alterations due to increasing genetic instability, and consequently affects mainly older patients. Less than 10% of patients present with the disease before 45 years of age (early onset gastric carcinoma) and these patients are believed to develop gastric carcinomas with a molecular genetic profile differing from that of sporadic carcinomas occurring at a later age. In young patients, the role of genetics is presumably greater than in older patients, with less of an impact from environmental carcinogens. As a result, hereditary gastric cancers and early onset gastric cancers can provide vital information about molecular genetic pathways in sporadic cancers and may aid in the unraveling of gastric carcinogenesis. This review focuses on the molecular genetics of gastric cancer and also focuses on early onset gastric cancers as well as familial gastric cancers such as hereditary diffuse gastric cancer. An overview of the various pathways of importance in gastric cancer, as discovered through in-vitro, primary cancer and mouse model studies, is presented and the clinical importance of CDH1 mutations is discussed.     

Gastrin levels and gastric emptying times in rhesus monkeys with a history of acute gastric dilatation

Abstract: Abnormal gastric motility has been suggested as a possible causative factor for acute gastric dilatation observed in nonhuman primates. To evaluate gastric motility in a colony, fasting serum gastrin immunoreactivity and gastric emptying times were assessed in rhesus monkeys that had survived single episodes of acute gastric dilatation. These were paired with age- and weight-matched control monkeys from the same colony. Neither gastric emptying times nor gastrin assays were significantly different between the acute gastric dilatation and control groups.     

Significance of ERK nitration in portal hypertensive gastropathy and its therapeutic implications

Portal hypertensive (PHT) gastric mucosa increases susceptibility to injury and delayed mucosal healing. It is possible that nitration of ERK by peroxynitrite might alter MAPK (ERK) signaling in PHT gastric mucosa, leading to delayed mucosal healing, since excessive nitric oxide production is implicated in PHT gastric mucosa and MAPK (ERK) signaling induces cell proliferation and leads to gastric mucosal healing in response to injury. Portal hypertension was produced by staged portal vein ligation, and sham-operation (SO) rats served as controls. Lipid peroxide (LPO) and nitrotyrosine increased significantly in PHT gastric mucosa compared with SO rats. ERK activation was impaired in PHT gastric mucosa in response to ethanol injury, whereas no significant difference in the phosphorylation of MEK, an upstream molecule of ERK, was seen between the two groups. The nitration of ERK by peroxynitrite, as detected by the coimmunoprecipitation of ERK and nitrotyrosine, was significantly enhanced in PHT gastric mucosa. Administration of rebamipide, a gastroprotective drug that acts as an oxygen-derived free radical scavenger, significantly decreased LPO and nitrotyrosine as well as the nitration of ERK by peroxynitrite in PHT gastric mucosa, therefore normalizing ERK activation and restoring the gastric mucosal healing response to ethanol injury. Enhanced nitration of ERK by peroxynitrite is involved in the impaired MAPK (ERK) signaling in PHT gastric mucosa. These findings demonstrate a new molecular mechanism in which PHT gastric mucosa is predisposed to injury and impaired healing.     

胃异型增生及胃癌核仁组成区嗜银蛋白定量研究

应用核仁组成区嗜银蛋白(AgNOR)技术对100例胃切除标本(胃癌50例,异型增生30例,正常胃20例)观察研究。结果核内AgNOR均数在胃异型增生、胃癌中增多与正常胃上皮细胞有显著差异(P<0.001),且嗜银颗粒逐渐变大,变分散。在胃癌的不同类型、分化程度、浸润深度、有无淋巴结转移及术后存活时间长短之间亦均有显著差异。提示AgNOR技术对于胃癌、癌前病变的诊断、胃癌的分型、分级及估价预后都有一定的实用价值。     

早期胃癌的治疗现状与进展

胃癌是常见的消化道肿瘤之一,是我国死亡率最高的恶性肿瘤之一。与日本韩国等发达国家相比,我国胃癌患者多数在就诊时已处于进展期,早期胃癌所占比例不足10%。传统的开腹胃癌手术仍是治疗早期胃癌的主要手段。相较于传统开腹手术,腹腔镜手术对于早期胃癌的治疗优势是显而易见的。早期胃癌患者行腹腔镜手术,具有术后恢复快,生活质量好,近期疗效佳等优势。内镜黏膜下剥离术(ESD,endoscopic submucosal dissection)是近年来出现的一项新的治疗早期胃癌的手段。本文就传统开腹手术、腹腔镜手术及ESD分别在早期胃癌治疗中的应用进行了综述。微创手术治疗早期胃癌将逐渐代替开腹手术,成为早期胃癌治疗的主要手段。     

CD40 signal expression in gastric cancer tissue and its correlation with prognosis of gastric cancer patients

CD40 signaling plays a critical role in the survival rate of gastric cancer patients. Tumour samples were collected from 73 patients with who were diagnosed as gastric cancer in general surgery department in the 1st affiliated hospital of Suzhou University between September 2002 and July 2003. All patients had not received radiotherapy and chemotherapy before operation. These patients include 46 male and 27 female. Here we show that CD40 is constitutively expressed in the human gastric carcinoma tissues, and CD40 protein and mRNA positive expression in gastric cancer tissues closely correlated with lymph node metastasis and tumour TNM stage. CD40 positive expression in gastric cancer patients with lymph node metastasis was markedly higher than that in gastric cancer patients without lymph node metastasis. CD40 positive expression in stage III-IV gastric cancer patients was markedly higher than that in stage I-II gastric cancer patients. Moreover, CD40 expression closely correlated with prognosis of gastric cancer patients. Therefore, CD40 was taken as grouping variable, and lymph node metastasis and clinical staging were taken as stratification variables, respectively, further analysis showed that prognosis in gastric cancer patients with lymph node metastasis and CD40 positive expression was markedly worse than that in gastric cancer patients without lymph node metastasis and CD40 negative expression (P = 0.0076). These results suggest that CD40 signaling plays a critical role in the survival of gastric cancer patients.     

Eicosanoids and the stomach

Eicosanoids are arachidonic acid derivatives that include prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes. During the last three decades, it has become evident that these bioactive lipids play a pivotal role in gastric physiology. The goal of the present review is to describe their involvement in the normal regulation of gastric secretion and gastric motility, as well as in gastric mucosal defense. Their role in gastric mucosal mitogenesis, apoptosis, inflammation, and immune modulatory responses is also discussed.     

Inactivation of tumor suppressor gene HIC1 in gastric cancer is reversed via small activating RNAs

HIC1 is a tumor suppressor gene that is down-expressed in different malignancies, in part, because of promoter hypermethylation. However, the biological function of HIC1 in gastric cancer remains unclear. It is known that small double-stranded RNAs can induce gene expression by targeting promoter sequences. In the present study, we examined the expression levels of HIC1 in gastric cancer tissue. Several pieces of small double-stranded RNAs were used for the activation of HIC1. Tissue microarray analysis of gastric cancer indicated that down-regulation of HIC1 in gastric cancer tissue was dramatic compared with the adjacent gastric mucosa. Gastric cancer cell lines also showed down-regulated HIC1 expression compared with a human immortalized gastric mucosa cell line. One out of four dsRNAs produced activation of HIC1 as assessed by real-time PCR and Western blotting. Use of a cell counting kit 8 and clonogenicity assays indicated that dsRNA-mediated re-expression of HIC1 inhibited cell proliferation and clonogenicity in gastric cancer. Reactivation of HIC1 suppressed cell migration and induced cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase, as well as induced apoptosis. These results suggest that HIC1 is a potential target of gene therapy against gastric cancer, and that dsRNAs could function as a therapeutic option for up-regulating tumor suppressor genes in gastric cancer and other malignancies.     

Lack of histamine alters gastric mucosal morphology: comparison of histidine decarboxylase-deficient and mast cell-deficient mice

Histamine plays an important role in the regulation of gastric acid secretion; however, its role in maintenance of gastric morphology remains unclear. To clarify the necessity of histamine for gastric mucosal development and maintenance, we evaluated two different kinds of mice that lacked either mast cells (one of the gastric histamine-producing cell types) or histidine decarboxylase (HDC; a histamine-synthesizing enzyme). Measurements of stomach weight, intragastric pH, mucosal histamine levels, as well as serum gastrin and albumin levels were performed in mice. Gastric mucosal appearance was examined by immunohistochemical techniques. Although gastric mucosal histamine levels in mast cell-deficient mice were half of those observed in the wild-type mice, intragastric pH, serum gastrin levels, and gastric morphology at 12 mo were unchanged compared with the wild-type mice. In contrast, HDC-deficient mice possessed no detectable gastric histamine, but did exhibit hypergastrinemia, as well as marked increases in intragastric pH and stomach weight compared with the wild-type mice. Histological analysis revealed that 9-mo-old HDC-deficient mice demonstrated hyperplasia in the oxyntic glandular base region, as well as increased numbers of parietal and enterochromaffin-like cells. These results indicate that enterochromaffin-like cell-derived histamine is potentially involved in gastric mucosal morphology regulation.     

切断双侧内脏神经对丙线800rad照射大鼠胃运动与胃排空的影响

本工作观察了双侧内脏神经切断大鼠在丙线800rad照后不同时间空胃运动与胃排空变化的动态规律,并结合以往内脏神经保留大鼠的实验结果进行了讨论。正常大鼠切断双侧内脏神经后空胃运动明显增强,主要表现为收缩期持续时间延长,收缩幅度增高;胃排空亦较术前加速。双侧内脏神经切断大鼠在丙线800rad照后1/24—3天空胃运动受到明显抑制,以照后1/24及3天为最著,收缩幅度降至切断神经前正常值的16.5±5.0—35.6±11.4％,切断神经后正常值的12.6±4.1—25.9±8.79％,差异非常显著(P<0.001),照后5天基本恢复正常。双侧内脏神经切断火鼠经800rad照射其胃排空的损伤和恢复规律与胃运动十分一致,照后1/24—3天胃半量排空时间(t 1/2)较正常延长约6—12倍(P<0.001),5天基本恢复正常。鉴于切断内脏神经大鼠在800rad照后其胃运动与胃排空的变化规律和内脏神经保留人鼠的结果相似,设想,交感神经在照射引起的胃运动与胃排空效应中可能不起重要作用。     

MicroRNA-107, an oncogene microRNA that regulates tumour invasion and metastasis by targeting DICER1 in gastric cancer

MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that control expression of target genes. Previous studies showed that microRNA-107 (miR-107) is overexpressed in gastric cancer tissues compared with the matched normal tissues. However, it remains largely unclear as to how miR-107 exerts its function and modulates the malignant phenotypes of gastric cancer, because our understanding of miR-107 signalling pathways is limited. In this study, we demonstrate that miR-107 is frequently up-regulated in gastric cancers and its overexpression is significantly associated with gastric cancer metastasis. Furthermore, silencing the expression of miR-107 could inhibit gastric cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro and in vivo. Subsequent investigation characterized DICER1 as a direct target of miR-107. Up-regulation of DICER1 resulted in a dramatic reduction of in vitro migration, invasion, in vivo liver metastasis of nude mice, which is similar to that occurs with the silencing of miR-107, indicating that DICER1 functions as a metastasis suppressor in gastric cancer. Furthermore, the restoration of DICER1 can inhibit miR-107-induced gastric cancer cell invasion and metastasis. In conclusion, our results suggested that miR-107, an oncogene miRNA promoting gastric cancer metastasis through down-regulation of DICER1. Inhibition of miR-107 or restoration of DICER1 may represent a new potential therapeutic target for gastric cancer treatment.
