Expression of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 in human gastric cancer and superficial gastritis

AIM:To assess expression of matrix metalloproteinases 2(MMP2)and MMP9 in gastric cancer,superficial gastritis and normal mucosa,and to measure metalloproteinase activity.METHODS:MMP2 and MMP9 mRNA expression was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.Normalization was carried out using three different factors.Proteins were analyzed by quantitative gelatin zymography(qGZ).RESULTS:18S ribosomal RNA(18SRNA)was very highly expressed,while hypoxanthine ribosyltransferase-1(HPRT-1)was moderately expressed.MMP2 was highly expressed,while MMP9 was not detected or lowly expressed in normal tissues,moderately or highly expressed in gastritis and highly expressed in cancer.Relative expression of 18SRNA and HPRT-1 showed no significant differences.Significant differences in MMP2 and MMP9 were found between cancer and normal tissue,but not between gastritis and normal tissue.Absolute quantification of MMP9 echoed this pattern,but differential expression of MMP2 proved conflictive.Analysis by qGZ indicated significant differences between cancer and normal tissue in MMP-2,total MMP-9,250 and 110 kDa bands.CONCLUSION:MMP9 expression is enhanced in gastric cancer compared to normal mucosa;interpretation of differential expression of MMP2 is difficult to establish.

Identifying the molecular basis of Jinhong tablets against chronic superficial gastritis via chemical profile identification and symptom-guided network pharmacology analysis

Chronic superficial gastritis(CSG)is a common disease of the digestive system that possesses a serious pathogenesis.Jinhong tablet(JHT),a traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)prescription,exerts therapeutic effects against CSG.However,the molecular basis of its therapeutic effect has not been clarified.Herein,we employed ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q/TOF-MS)based chemical profile identification to determine the chemical components in JHT.Further,we applied network pharmacology to illustrate its molecular mechanisms.A total of 96 chemical constituents were identified in JHT,31 of which were confirmed using reference standards.Based on the bioinformatics analysis using the symptom-guided pharmacological networks of“chi,”“blood,”“pain,”and“inflammation,”and target screening through the interaction probabilities between compounds and targets,matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP2),dopamine d2 receptor(DRD2),and Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B1(AKR1B1)were identified as key targets in the therapeutic effect exhibited by JHT against CSG.Moreover,according to the inhibitory activities presented in the literature and binding mode analysis,the structural types of alkaloids,flavonoids,organic acids,including chlorogenic acid(10),caffeic acid(13),(-)-corydalmine(33),(-)-isocorypalmine(36),isochlorogenic acid C(38),isochlorogenic acid A(41),quercetin-3-O-a-L-rhamnoside(42),isochlorogenic acid B(47),quercetin(63),and kaempferol(70)tended to show remarkable activities against CSG.Owing to the above findings,we systematically identified the chemical components of JHT and revealed its molecular mechanisms based on the symptoms associated with CSG.

Evaluation of the Gastric Microbiome in Patients with Chronic Superficial Gastritis and Intestinal Metaplasia

Objective To evaluate the gastric microbiome in patients with chronic superficial gastritis(CSG)and intestinal metaplasia(IM)and investigate the influence of Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)on the gastric microbiome.Methods Gastric mucosa tissue samples were collected from 54 patients with CSG and IM,and the patients were classified into the following four groups based on the state of H.pylori infection and histology:H.pylori-negative CSG(n=24),H.pylori-positive CSG(n=14),H.pylori-negative IM(n=11),and H.pylori-positive IM(n=5).The gastric microbiome was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.Results H.pylori strongly influenced the bacterial abundance and diversity regardless of CSG and IM.In H.pylori-positive subjects,the bacterial abundance and diversity were significantly lower than in H.pylori-negative subjects.The H.pylori-negative groups had similar bacterial composition and bacterial abundance.The H.pylori-positive groups also had similar bacterial composition but different bacterial relative abundance.The relative abundance of Neisseria,Streptococcus,Rothia,and Veillonella were richer in the I-HP group than in G-HP group,especially Neisseria(t=175.1,P<0.001).Conclusions The gastric microbial abundance and diversity are lower in H.pylori-infected patients regardless of CSG and IM.Compared to H.pylori-positive CSG group and H.pylori-positive IM,the relative abundance of Neisseria,Streptococcus,Rothia,and Veillonella is higher in H.pylori-positive patients with IM than in H.pylori-positive patients with CSG,especially Neisseria.

Serum protein profiles suggest a possible link between qi deficiency constitution and Pi-qi-deficiency syndrome of chronic superficial gastritis

Objective:To identify potential serum protein candidates involved in linking the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)-defined qi deficiency constitution(QDC)to Pi-qi-deficiency syndrome(PQDS)of chronic superficial gastritis(CSG).Methods:Using participants with the TCM-defined balanced constitution as a control population,labelfree quantitative proteomics was adopted to identify differentially expressed proteins(DEPs)in serum samples from two case populations:case population 1(participants with QDC)and case population 2(patients with PQDS of CSG).The DEPs discovered in both case populations were analyzed to identify common DEPs as potential candidates for proteins involved in the link between QDC and PQDS.Based on Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway(KEGG)and Gene Ontology(GO)enrichment analysis and analysis of proteineprotein interaction networks,we evaluated the possible functions of these potential serum candidates.Results:We discovered 24 and 28 proteins that were differentially expressed in case populations 1 and 2,respectively,compared with the control population.Hierarchical clustering analysis showed that the expression profile of DEPs of individuals from the same population clustered well,while those from different populations were segregated.Furthermore,GO analysis revealed the 10 DEPs that were common to both case populations to be mainly associated with negative regulation of cellular metabolic and immune system processes while KEGG analysis indicated these proteins to be associated with complement and coagulation cascades and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signaling.Notably,serum levels of C4b-binding protein beta chain,glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D1 and MS-F1 light chain variable region proteins were notably higher in the two case populations compared with the control,particularly in the case of CSG with PQDS.Conclusion:The results presented here provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying development of PQDS of CSG from QDC,and suggest candidate serum biomarkers for future application in integrative medicine.

Screening for blood leukocyte microRNA biomarkers responsible for association between qi deficiency constitution and Pi-qi-deficiency syndrome of chronic superficial gastritis

Objective:To screen for blood leukocyte microRNA(miRNA)biomarkers responsible for the association between the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)qi deficiency constitution(QDC)and the Pi-qi-deficiency syndrome(PQDS)of chronic superficial gastritis(CSG).Methods:Peripheral blood leukocytes were separated from people of two TCM constitutions(balance and qi deficiency)and from CSG patients with PQDS.Total RNA was isolated from the leukocytes and subjected to subsequent high-throughput miRNA sequencing to identify the miRNAs that are specifically and highly expressed in persons of QDC and CSG patients with PQDS.In addition,the target genes of the associated miRNAs were predicted.Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway-based enrichment analyses of these target genes were performed to further evaluate the associated miRNA candidates as potential biomarkers responsible for the association between QDC and PQDS of CSG.Results:Compared with the control group with a balance constitution(P<.05,fold change>1.5 or<0.5),31 and 38 differentially expressed miRNAs were found in persons of QDC and CSG patients with PQDS,respectively.In particular,hsa-miR-145-5p and hsa-miR-146a-3p were highly expressed in both the persons of QDC and CSG patients with PQDS.GO analysis of the target genes of the two common miRNAs showed that they were mainly associated with functions related to synthesis and metabolism,such as cellular nitrogen compound metabolic processes,biosynthetic processes,cellular protein modification processes,and cellular component assembly.KEGG analysis identified the common pathways enriched among the target genes,including the Hippo signaling pathway and the transcriptional misregulation pathway.The common target genes of the two miRNAs seemed to be associated with the spliceosome pathway and the RNA degradation pathway.Conclusion:Hsa-miR-145-5p and hsa-miR-146a-3p may serve as candidate biomarkers responsible for the association between QDC and PQDS of CSG.

COMPARATIVE OBSERVATIONS ON THE TYPES OF ATROPHIC GASTRITIS AND BIOPSY PATHOLOGY OF GASTRIC MUCOSA

300 cases of chronic atrophic gastritis were classified into 3 types of qi-dificiency of spleen and stomach, yang-deficiency of spleen and stomach, and yin-deficiency of spleen and stomach according to syndrom differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine. The biopsy specimens of gastric mucosa were examined histopathologically and for the presence of pyloric spirobaeteria. The results showed that the type of yin-deficiency was the most seri-ous in the degree of pathologic changes, or the glandular atrophy and the interstitial inflam-matory cellular infiltration, while the rate of pyloric spirobacteria presence was comparable in all types.

Bioinformatics Research on Chronic Superficial Gastritis of Pi-deficiency Syndrome by Gene Arrays

Objective： To determine the bioinformatical characteristics of differential gene expression in patients with chronic superficial gastritis （CSG） with the Pi-deficiency syndrome （PDS） and those of the non- Pi-deficiency syndrome （non-PDS）, i.e. patients of CSG with Pi （脾）-Wei （胃） dampnese-heat syndrome and healthy persons. Methods： With the BRB-Array Tools software package, original data collection and bioinformatic analysis of gene arrays were conducted in 6 CSG patients of PDS （CSG-PDS）, 6 CSG patients of non-PDS （CSG-nPDS）, and 6 healthy volunteers （Normal）. Results： Compared with non-PDS, the gene expressions in PDS with regards to protein synthesis, energy metabolism, immune reaction and ionic transport tended to be down-regulated, while those concerning secretion, cytoskeleton and ubiquitinization were up-regulated dominantly. Conclusions： The two kinds of samples, CSG-PDS/Normal and CSG-PDS/CSG-nPDS, have their respective gene expression profiles with different characteristics. Gene expression profile has certain referential significance in syndrome classification.

Effect of moxibustion at sensitized-acupoints on quality of life in patients with chronic superficial gastritis

Objective:To compare the efficacy difference between moxibustion at sensitized-acupoints and non-sensitized-acupoints using the same group of acupoints.Methods:A total of 139 patients with chronic superficial gastritis were divided into a sensitized acupoint group(102 cases)and a non-sensitized acupoint group(37 cases)based on whether acupoint sensitization occurred.The SPSS version 19.0 statistical software propensity score matching function was used to balance the baseline data between the groups.Finally,29 pairs of matched patients were included,namely 29 cases in the sensitized acupoint group and 29 cases in the non-sensitized acupoint group.Both groups were treated with moxibustion therapy.The treatment lasted for 30 min per time,and was performed every other day for 8 weeks.Changes in the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)symptom score and the short-form 36-item health survey(SF-36)score in both groups were observed before and after treatment,as well as the clinical efficacy.Results:The covariates of age,course of disease,TCM symptom score and SF-36 score in the two groups were balanced after matching(all P>0.05).After treatment,the total effective rate was 100.0%in the sensitized acupoint group and 79.3%in the non-sensitized acupoint group.The difference in the total effective rate between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.01).After treatment and at the 4-week follow-up,the TCM symptom scores in the sensitized acupoint group were significantly lower than those in the non-sensitized acupoint group(all P<0.01);the SF-36 scores in the sensitized acupoint group were significantly higher than those in the non-sensitized acupoint group(all P<0.01).Conclusion:With the same group of acupoints,the sensitized acupoints have a better therapeutic effect and long-term efficacy than the non-sensitized acupoints in the treatment of chronic superficial gastritis.
