The messenger role of Ca+2, cyclic nucleotides and inositol triphosphates in the stimulation of pepsinogen and mucous secretion were studied using isolated pig [correction of nug] gastric chief cells and guinea pig mucous cells, resp. Pepsinogen secretion was stimulated by agents either working at the postreceptor adenylate cyclase (AC) level (db-cAMP, forskolin) or after 12-o-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) stimulation of protein kinase C (PK C). Similar secretory effects were observed with histamine (H), carbachol (C) and cholecystokinin (CCK). [Ca-2] in was elevated by C and by CCK, but not by H in both types of cells. Like TPA, both C and CCK, but not H, stimulated the Ca+2-sensitive particulate PK C. H increased the activity of cAMP-dependent PK A. PGE2, C and CCK were found to increase inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate content in mucous cells. The findings indicate that two pathways of the regulation of pepsinogen and mucous secretion (AC-cAMP-PK C and phosphoinositol breakdown cascade) can act synergistically.

Article Synopsis
  • - A 65-year-old man had endoscopic treatment for esophageal cancer and was later found to have a suspicious 12-mm flat lesion in his stomach during a surveillance endoscopy.
  • - The lesion was examined with magnifying endoscopy and biopsy revealed atypical cells, leading to a diagnosis of a gastric-type neoplasm with low atypia.
  • - Following further investigation, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) led to a diagnosis of signet-ring cell carcinoma that transformed into adenocarcinoma of the fundic gland type, highlighting the complexity of his condition.

Background: Pepsinogen C (PGC) is expressed in chief cells, fundic mucous neck cells, and pyloric gland cells of gastric epithelium and also in breast, prostate, lung, and seminal vesicles.

Methods: We explored the clinicopathological and prognostic significances of PGC mRNA using pathological and bioinformatics analyses. We generated PGC knockout and PGC-cre transgenic mice to observe the effects of PGC deletion and PTEN abrogation in PGC-positive cells on gastric carcinogenesis.

Pepsinogen II in gastritis and Helicobacter pylori infection.

Helicobacter

April 2022

Department of Medicine-DIMED, Surgical Pathology and Cytopathology Unit, University of Padova, Padova, Italy.

Background And Aim: In the gastric mucosa, pepsinogen II (PgII) is produced/secreted by glands in the mucus-secreting antral and cardia compartments, but also by the chief cells and the oxyntic glands. Increasing PgII serum levels are associated with the whole spectrum of gastric inflammatory diseases, including gastritis induced by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).

Patients with gastric mucosal erosions are predisposed to chronic gastritis, ulcer or even cancer. The repair of mucosal erosions involves several events including proliferation of gastric epithelial stem cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the probiotic mixture of De Simone Formulation on gastric epithelial stem cell lineages in mouse models of gastric mucosal erosions.
