Study on the gastric epithelial cell proliferation and apoptosis in Helicobacter pylori associated diseases of the stomach

Objective: To investigate whether Helicobacter pylon (Hp) would have any effects on the gastric epithelial cell proliferation and apoptosis, and a role in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer. Methods: Endoscopic gastric mucosal biopsies were taken from 1 group (10 cases) of normal subjects (NS) and 10 groups (10 cases for each group) of patients with chronic superficial gastritis (CSG), chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia (CAGIM) or dysplasia (DYS), and gastric cancer (GC) with or without Hp infection. Apoptosis cells in the gastric mucosa were quantitated after terminal deoxynucleatidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick and labelling (TUNEL method) and proliferation cells after immunohistochemieal staining (LSAB method) of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Results: Apoptosis index (AI) of the patients with Hp positive CSG group was much higher than that of the patients with Hp negative CSG group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the patients with or without Hp infection of the other four groups (P > 0. 05). PCNA Labelling indices (PCNA-LI) of the patients with Hp positive CSG, CAG, CAGIM, and GC groups were significantly higher than these of the patients with Hp negative groups, respectively (P < 0. 05). There was no significant difference of Al/PCNA-LI ratio between the NS group and CSG group (P > 0. 05 ), but the Al/PCNA-LI ratio of these two groups was much higher than that of the CAb, CAGIM, DYS and GC groups (P < 0. 05). Conclusion: Hp infection might induce apoptosis and thereby stimulate proliferation of the gastric epithelial cells, these effects might lead to the imbalance of the Al/PCNA ratio and ultimately promote the development of gastric cancer.
