Involvement of cyclooxygenase-2 in gastric mucosal hypertrophy in gastrin transgenic mice

Gastrin promotes gastric mucosal growth, and hypergastrinemia induces gastric mucosal hypertrophy. Recently, it has been reported that gastrin induces cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in human gastric and colorectal cancer cell lines. However, whether COX-2 is involved in gastrin-induced gastric mucosal growth in vivo is unknown. We investigated the role of COX-2 in gastrin-induced gastric mucosal hypertrophy using gastrin transgenic mice. Hypergastrinemic mice [mice with mutated gastrin under the control of the beta-actin promoter (ACT-GAS mice)] received the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib (0, 200, or 500 mg/kg of diet) from 5 wk of age and were killed at 16 or 24 wk. Some ACT-GAS mice received celecoxib from 16 wk and were killed at 24 wk. Eighty-week-old ACT-GAS mice without celecoxib treatment were also examined. The thickness of the gastric mucosa, cell populations, COX-2 expression, and PGE(2) levels were evaluated. All ACT-GAS mice showed gastric mucosal hypertrophy, and four of six 80-wk-old ACT-GAS mice developed gastric cancer. COX-2 was expressed in interstitial cells of the hypertrophic gastric mucosa and gastric cancers. Moreover, PGE(2) levels in the gastric mucosa of ACT-GAS mice were significantly higher than those of normal mice. With treatment with celecoxib, PGE(2) levels, the gastric mucosal thickness, and the number of total gastric cells per gastric gland of ACT-GAS mice were significantly decreased. The decrease in gastric mucosal thickness was caused by a reduction of foveolar hyperplasia. The thickness of glandules and the number of Ki67-positive cells were not significantly changed. In conclusion, COX-2 contributes to gastrin-induced mucosal hypertrophy of the stomach.     

Gastrin and somatostatin levels in patients with gastric cancer

Gastrin and somatostatin-like immunoreactivity (SLI) levels were studied by means of radioimmunoassay in peripheral venous blood of healthy volunteers and patients suffering from gastric adenocarcinoma or duodenal and gastric ulcers. Gastrin and SLI levels were also evaluated in patients in blood drawn from gastric veins during surgery. The elevations of gastrin and SLI levels were found in patients with gastric cancer as compared with healthy people and patients suffering from ulcers. The impairment of the negative feedback between gastrin and somatostatin secretions in patients with gastric cancer was suggested.     

Protection by tetramethylpyrazine in acute absolute ethanol-induced gastric lesions

Acute oral administration of absolute ethanol (1.0 ml/kg) to fasting rats produced extensive necrosis of the gastric mucosa within 1 h. Pretreatment 30 min before administration of ethanol with oral tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) prevented this necrosis. Gross examination of the gastric mucosa of rats that received TMP showed fewer gastric lesions than that of rats who did not receive TMP. TMP pretreatment in rats exhibited superoxide scavenging activity in absolute ethanol-induced lipid peroxidation in gastric mucosal homogenates. TMP added in vitro to gastric homogenates made from control rats also showed scavenging activity. We conclude that the gastric protective mechanism of TMP could be attributed, at least in part, to its ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation and hence indirectly protect the gastric mucosa from oxidative stress.     

Vaccination prevents Helicobacter pylori-induced alterations of the gastric flora in mice

Molecular analysis of the gastric microflora in mice revealed that Helicobacter pylori infection causes an increase in microbial diversity. The stomachs of H. pylori-infected animals were colonized by bacteria which are naturally restricted to the lower intestinal tract. Clostridia, Bacteroides/Prevotella spp., Eubacterium spp., Ruminococcus spp., streptococci and Escherichia coli were detected exclusively in the stomachs of infected animals, whereas lactobacilli dominated the gastric flora in noninfected mice. The H. pylori-induced shifts in the gastric microbiota were independent from histological pathology and from changes in the gastric pH but were prevented by immunization of mice with live Salmonella expressing H. pylori urease. Immunized mice displayed reduced H. pylori levels in the gastric epithelium and developed a normal gastric microflora, indicating that vaccination may be protective against H. pylori-induced changes in the gastric flora.     

肿瘤干细胞与胃癌

最近的一项研究报导,采用流式细胞仪分选技术从人胃癌细胞株中分离出CD44^＋胃癌干细胞. 20～30×10³个CD44＋细胞入NOD/SCID 鼠腹部皮下和胃浆膜下能形成胃癌移植瘤, 100×10³个CD44^－的细胞入NOD/SCID 鼠体内不形成肿瘤.采用无血清、无粘附间质的干细胞体外培养方法,发现CD44^＋的细胞能形成肿瘤微球体,具有自我更新能力,而CD44^－的细胞则不形成球形克隆.上述的实验结果说明,在人胃癌细胞株中存在胃癌肿瘤干细胞.据此可以相信,胃癌干细胞是胃癌细胞中具有自我更新及分化潜能的一小群细胞,不能被目前的化疗、放疗等抗癌治疗措施所杀灭,是胃癌术后复发、肿瘤进展扩散转移的根源.胃癌干细胞可能来源于骨髓干细胞.随着对胃癌肿瘤干细胞生物学研究的深入,必将为胃癌的临床诊断和治疗提供新的策略.     

Mitochondrial microsatellite instability in gastric cancer and gastric epithelial dysplasia as a precancerous lesion

Background: Genetic instability in gastric cancer represents a key molecular step that occurs early in the carcinogenesis process. To clarify the role of genetic instability in the progression from gastric dysplasia to gastric cancer, mitochondrial microsatellite instability (mtMSI) was studied in gastric cancer and gastric dysplasia. Methods: DNA was isolated from paired normal and tumoral tissues in 24 patients with gastric dysplasia (low grade) and 49 patients with gastric cancer. mtMSI was analyzed using eight microsatellite markers. mtMSI in gastric dysplasia was studied prospectively to elucidate the relation between mtMSI and gastric carcinogenesis. Results: mtMSI was found in 5 (10.2%) of 49 gastric cancer patients. The mtMSI phenotype was not associated with age, gender, and Helicobacter pylori infection. However, all of the mtMSI was found in intestinal-type gastric cancer (20.8%, p = 0.02). In gastric dysplasia, mtMSI was detected in 3 (12.5%) of 24 patients with gastric dysplasia. mtMSI-positive gastric dysplasia showed a poor prognosis statistically compared to mtMSI negative through progression to high-grade dysplasia or gastric cancer. Conclusions: These data suggest that mtMSI may be an early and important event in the progression of gastric carcinogenesis, especially in intestinal-type gastric cancer.     

木瓜三萜对吲哚美辛致胃黏膜损伤小鼠胃酸分泌及胃黏膜屏障的影响

观察木瓜三萜对吲哚美辛致胃黏膜损伤小鼠胃酸分泌及胃黏膜屏障的影响,在此基础上探讨其可能的机制。实验时,将小鼠随机分为正常组、模型组、木瓜三萜(50、100mg/kg)和奥美拉唑(20mg/kg)组。将给药组灌胃给予相应的药物,正常组和模型组灌胃给予0.5%羧甲基纤维素钠溶液,给药6小时后,除正常组外,灌胃给予20mg/kg的吲哚美辛,每天一次,连续7天。末次给药次日,小鼠用水合氯醛麻醉后,固定,剪开腹腔,进行胃黏膜血流量的测定,然后取胃检测胃液量、胃液酸度和胃结合黏液量;检测胃黏膜中表皮生长因子基因(EGF)和三叶因子1基因(TFF1)的mRNA和蛋白表达。研究发现:吲哚美辛致胃黏膜损伤模型组小鼠胃液分泌量,胃液酸度、胃黏膜血流量、胃结合黏液量及胃黏膜组织中EGF和TFF1的mRNA和蛋白表达明显降低,与正常组比较均具有统计学差异(P<0.01);用木瓜三萜预处理后,上述异常的变化均得到了有效逆转,与模型组比较具有显著性差异(P<0.05,P<0.01)。实验结果表明木瓜三萜(50、100mg/kg)对吲哚美辛致小鼠胃黏膜损伤具有较好的保护作用,通过上调EGF和TFF1的表达水平,增加胃液分泌量、胃液酸度、胃黏膜血流量、胃结合黏液量,恢复胃黏膜防御屏障的功能可能是其治疗吲哚美辛致胃黏膜损伤的机制之一。     

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.     

Filamentous organisms in benign and malignant gastric cytology brushings

Review of 143 gastric brushing specimens from two centres in patients with a subsequent histological diagnosis on biopsy or gastrectomy specimens revealed filamentous organisms (FOs) in a large number of benign and malignant gastric brushings. The presence of FOs in significant numbers of brushings of benign gastric lesions contradicts the previously reported strong association of FOs with only gastric carcinoma, and questions the importance of finding these organisms in gastric brushing and biopsy material.     

Inhibition of gastric acid secretion in dogs by neurotensin

Neurotensin is a tridacapeptide which has been isolated from bovine hypothalamus. The action of synthetic neurotensin was studied on gastric acid secretion in dogs provided with gastric pouches. Intravenously infused neurotensin, 50 ng × kg^?1 × min^?1, was found to produce a considerable inhibition of pentagastrin stimulated gastric acid secretion. On the other hand, there was no sign of inhibition of histamine induced gastric acid secretion. The experiments show that neurotensin, isolated from the central nervous system is a potent gastric secretory inhibitor and that it has a selective action in inhibiting gastric acid responses to pentagastrin but not to histamine.

Role of gastrin in gastric cancerogenesis in Helicobacter pylori infected humans.

Numerous epidemiological studies demonstrated the association between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and gastric cancer but the mechanism of the involvement of H. pylori in gastric cancerogenesis remains virtually unknown. This study was designed to determine the seropositivity of H. pylori and cytotoxin associated gene A (CagA), serum gastrin and gastric lumen gastrin levels under basal conditions and following stimulation with histamine in gastric cancer patients and controls. 100 gastric cancer patients aging from 21 to 60 years and 300 gender- and age-adjusted controls hospitalized with non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD) entered this study. 13C-Urea Breath Test (UBT), serum immunoglobulin (IgG) antibodies to H. pylori and CagA were used to assess the H. pylori infection and serum levels of IL-1beta, IL-8 and TNFalpha were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to evaluate the degree of gastric inflammation by H. pylori . Gastrin-17 mRNA and gastrin receptors (CCK(B)) mRNA expression in gastric mucosal samples taken by biopsy from the macroscopically intact fundic and antral mucosa as well as from the gastric tumor was determined using RT-PCR. The overall H. pylori seropositivity in gastric cancer patients at age 21-60 years was about 92%, compared, respectively, to 68%, in controls. A summary odds ratio (OR) for gastric cancer in H. pylori infected patients was about 5.0 . The H. pylori CagA seropositivity in gastric cancer patients was about 58.5% compared to 32.4% in controls, giving the summary OR for gastric cancer in CagA positive patients about 8.0. The prevalence of H. pylori- and H. pylori CagA-seropositivity was significantly higher in cancers than in controls, irrespective of the histology of gastric tumor (intestinal, diffuse or mixed type). Median IL-1beta and IL-8 reached significantly higher values in gastric cancer patients (9.31 and 30.8 pg/ml) than in controls (0.21 and 3.12, respectively). In contrast, median serum gastrin in cancers (as total group) was several folds higher (62.6 pM) than in controls (19.3 pM). Also median luminal gastrin concentration in gastric cancer patients was many folds higher (310 pM) than in controls (20 pM). This study shows for the first time that cancer patients are capable of releasing large amounts of gastrin into the gastric lumen to increase luminal hormone concentration to the level that was recently reported to stimulate the growth of H. pylori. There was no any correlation between plasma gastrin levels and gastric luminal concentration of gastrin suggesting that: 1) luminal gastrin originates from different source than plasma hormone, most probably from the cancer cells, 2) cancer cells are capable of expressing gastrin and releasing it mainly into the gastric juice and 3) the gastric cancer cells are equipped with gastrin-specific (CCK(B)) receptor so they exhibit the self-growth promoting activity in autocrine fashion. This notion is supported by direct detection of gastrin mRNA and gastrin receptor (CCK(B)-receptors) mRNA using RT-PCR in cancer tissue. To our knowledge this is the first study showing an important role of gastrin as self-stimulant of cancer cells in patients infected with H. pylori. Basal and histamine maximally stimulated acid outputs were significantly lower in gastric cancer patients than in controls despite of enhanced gastrin release, particularly in cancer patients and this might reflect the mucosal inflammatory changes (increased serum levels of proinflammtory interleukins - IL-1beta and IL-8), that are known to increase gastrin release. We conclude that: 1) H. pylori infected patients, particularly those showing CagA-seropositivity, are at greatly increased risk of development of gastric cancer, 2) H. pylori-infected cancer patients produce significantly more IL-1beta and IL-8 that might reflect an H.

Postoperative death in sows as a result of gastric mucosal de-gloving at the pars oesophagea

It is well documented that pigs frequently die from postoperative acute gastric dilatation, and proximal gastric 'stress' ulceration. Three cases of gastric mucosal 'de-gloving' are reported. This was secondary to acute gastric dilatation and resulted in death from acute haemorrhage. All animals had undergone major abdominal surgery. Histology confirmed that the proximal gastric mucosa had been 'de-gloved', or torn from the gastro-oesophageal junction, leaving exposed muscle fibres. This syndrome has not been reported previously. The postmortem appearances of this mechanical injury could easily be mistaken for extensive oesophago-gastric peptic ulceration. This has major implications for prevention.     

Lysosomal enzyme activity of the gastric mucosa in rats during experimental ulcer formation

Lysosomal membrane stability has been studied in the gastric mucosa in response to mechanical damage caused by lysosomal fractionation and release of lysosomal enzymes from mucous cells into the gastric cavity of alive animals during induction of acetic ulcer or erosive damage of the gastric mucosa resulting from intraperitoneal introduction of histamine and serotonin. It has been found that all types of ulcerogenesis in the gastric mucosa led to the decrease in lysosomal membrane stability to mechanical stress in the course of lysosomal fractionation. In addition there was a substantial release of lysosomal enzymes into the gastric cavity in different types of ulcerogenesis. The decrease in lysosomal membrane stability combined with a subsequent development of ulcers and erosions in the gastric mucosa seems indicative of the fact that lysosomal enzymes take part in the initial formation of ulcers in the gastric mucosa.

Effect of fish oil on offensive and defensive factors in gastric ulceration in rats

The effect of fish oil (FO) derived from Scomberoides commersonianus containing omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids was studied on gastric ulcers and as well as on offensive and defensive factors in gastric mucosal damage, following experimental gastric ulceration. FO significantly reduced the severity of ulceration in gastric ulcers induced by aspirin, cold-restraint stress (CRS), alcohol, and pylorus ligation. The results also indicated the potentiality of FO in maintaining the integrity of gastric mucosa by virtue of its effect on both offensive and defensive gastric mucosal factors. It decreased the offensive acid-pepsin secretion and augmented the defensive factors like mucin secretion, cellular mucus and life span of mucosal cells following pylorus ligation. FO significantly increased activity of anti-oxidant enzymes (catalase and glutathione peroxidase) and decreased lipid peroxidation in gastric mucosa of CRS rats. The study indicates the beneficial role of FO in gastric ulceration by inhibition of offensive mucosal factors and oxidative stress, and augmentation of defensive mucosal factors.     

Homeostasis in the gastric mucosa and blood circulation. Part 1. Mechanisms of the adequate blood flow maintenance in the gastric mucosa]

The increase of mucosal blood flow in response to food entrance into stomach or different irritant action is the component of gastric mucosal defence barrier. Sufficient blood flow ensures normal acid-bicarbonate balance in gastric mucosa, supports the healing process and prevents superficial damages from developing into deep ones. Capsaicin-sensitive afferent nerve fibers play the large role in the blood flow regulation. The influence of these nerve fibers on the gastric blood flow is mediated by the calcitonin-gene related peptide. This peptide released from peripheral afferent terminals improves microcirculation in stomach walls. Moreover nerve impulses from afferent neurons modulate parasympathetic activity that in turn induces the increase of gastric mucosal blood flow through both choilinergic and noncholinergic mechanisms. The gastric mucosal blood flow may be also regulated by humoral and paracrine metabolites. Nitric oxide and prostaglandines are the most important low molecular weight compounds. They play the main role in the maintenance of the basal gastric mucosal blood flow and in the development of hyperemic responses to harmful agents.

胃癌患者肠道菌群的分布特点分析

目的应用聚合酶链式反应-变性梯度凝胶电泳(PCR-DGGE)基因指纹图谱技术,检测胃癌患者肠道菌群的变化情况,探讨肠道菌群与胃癌发生发展的关系。方法选取7例符合临床诊断标准的胃癌患者和相同年龄段的3例健康者的粪便标本,提取粪便总DNA。通过PCR-DGGE技术获得菌群指纹图谱,进行相似性、多样性分析。结果胃癌患者肠道菌群与健康对照组相比,其肠道菌群构成发生显著性变化。其中,条件致病菌唾液乳杆菌、唾液链球菌、大肠埃希菌数量均增加。益生菌直肠真杆菌、Dorea longicatena、柔嫩梭菌群数量均较少。结论胃癌患者肠道菌群的多样性和构成与健康对照相比发生了显著变化,该特点对于胃癌的预测提供了实验依据。
