Pepsinogen (PG) Ⅰ and Ⅱ of 255 subjects (including 117 health volunteers) were also examined.RESULTS: T/T genotype individuals with H pylori infection had a more decreased PG Ⅰ/Ⅱ ratio. In gastric antrum mucosa, the individuals with H pylori infection had higher IL-1B expression than those without H pylori infection, but there was no obvious difference among each genotype. In gastric corpus, the individuals with H pylori infection had a significantly higher IL-1B expression than those without H pylori infection. IL-1B-511T/T genotype was markedly higher as compared with the other two genotypes. Both maximal acid output and basic acid output were similar among each genotype in IL-1B-511 gene locus, regardless of H pylori infection.CONCLUSION: IL-1B-511 T allele does not decrease gastric acid output, although it has a stimulated influence on IL-1B expression. Consequently, the pathway,through which IL-1B plays a central role in gastric cancer development, might not depend on low acid, but on the other regulation mechanisms.展开更多
