Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between chronic gastropathy with intestinal metaplasia (IM) and caudal type homeobox genes 2 (Cdx2),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection.Methods Onehundred and thirty patients underwent gastroscopy were divided into 2 groups by typical pathological type:gastritis group (30 cases) and IM group [100 cases,including mild IM group (30 cases),moderate IM group (35 cases),severe IM group (35 cases)].Hp infection was confirmed.The expressions of Cdx2 and TNF-α protein was evaluated by immunohistochemistry.Results The positive expression rates of Cdx2 and TNF-α protein in IM group were significantly higher than those in gastritis group [78.0%(78/100) vs.6.7%(2/30),60.0%(60/100) vs.16.7%(5/30)],and there were statistical differences (P < 0.01).The positive expression rates of Cdx2 and TNF-α protein in positive and negative Hp infection in IM group were significantly higher than those in gastritis group [Cdx2 protein:79.4%(50/63) vs.1/10,75.7%(28/37) vs.5.0%(1/20);TNF-α:74.6%(47/63) vs.4/10,35.1%(13/37)vs.5.0% (1/20)],and there were statistical differences (P < 0.01).The positive expression rate of Cdx2 protein in moderate IM group and severe IM group were significantly higher than those in mild IM group [80.0% (28/35) and 97.1% (34/35) vs.53.3% (16/30)],in severe IM group were significantly higher th.an those in moderate IM group,and there were statistical differences (P <0.05).There were no statistical differences in the positive expression rate of Cdx2 protein of difference Hp infection among the 4 groups (P>0.05).There were no statistical differences in the positive expression rate of TNF-α protein between mile IM group and moderate IM group (P > 0.05).The positive expression rate of TNF-α protein in severe IM group was significantly higher than that in mild IM group and moderate IM group [80.0%(28/35) vs.40.0%(12/30) and 57.1%(20/35)],and there were statistical differences (P < 0.05).The positive expression rate of TNF-α protein of positive Hp infection patients in gastritis group,mild IM group,moderate IM group and severe IM group were significantly higher than those of negative Hp infection patients (4/10 vs.1/20,47/63vs.13/37,10/18 vs.2/12,15/21 vs.5/14,22/24 vs.6/11),and there were statistical differences (P < 0.05).Conclusions The expressions of Cdx2 and TNF-α protein and Hp infection are closely related with IM.Therefore,testing the level of Cdx2 and TNF-α protein expressions can help to judge the degree of IM,which provides a basis for reversing IM.
