Linkage relations between pepsinogen Pg5 and 28 genetic marker loci have been analyzed in Norwegian families. No strong hint of linkage was found. Linkage to Pg5 in males has been ruled out below 25% recombination for HLA and GPT, below 20% recombination for Rh, PGM1, ACP, Gc, MNSs, PGM3, and Gm and Pi, below 15% recombination for Hp, below 10% recombination for Fy, ABO, C3 and Jk and below 4% for Kell, Tf, C6, Km and Le(Se). Possibilities of loose linkages include Pg5-C6 and Pg5-MNSs, both of which should be followed up.

Aim: To establish a cellular model correctly mimicking the gastric epithelium to overcome the limitation in the study of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.
Methods: Aiming to overcome this limitation, clones of the heterogenic cancer-derived NCI-N87 cell line were isolated, by stably-transducing it with the human telomerase reverse-transcriptase (hTERT) catalytic subunit gene.

The present investigation aims at defining the functional status of several gastric cancer cell lines in order to assess their usefulness as adequate cellular models to study the regulation of gastric digestive functions. Compared to AGS, Hs746t and KATO-III cells, NCI-N87 exhibited an unique differentiation status. They formed coherent monolayers expressing E-cadherin and ZO-1 junctional proteins; their integrity and epithelial morphology were maintained at post-confluency for up to 10 days.

Electrotitration curves (ETC) of a marker protein mixture, pH 2.5-5.65, and human pepsinogens were performed in an agarose gel, containing 2% acid carrier ampholytes, forming a pH range of 2.

A main purpose of gastric secretion pertains to the digestion of dietary proteins and involves the release of pepsinogens by the fundic and antral mucosa. Over the last decade, data on human gastric physiology has expanded to equally include a significant role in fat digestion. Characteristics of human gastric lipase (HGL) such as optimum acid pH, resistance to proteolysis and non requirement of bile salts or cofactors, are advantageous in gastric lipolysis.

The gastric pit-gland unit is a highly dynamic and compartimentalized structure which assumes important key functions such as acid secretion, digestion of dietary proteins and triglycerides, protection, and epithelial restitution following injury. However, in vitro models representative of the intact gastric epithelium are still lacking. The current study was undertaken to investigate the possibility of generating such primary cultures from human fetal stomach.
