Abstract:
Background:In the pathogenesis of chronic gastritis,the changes of biological factors can affect the physiological barrier of gastric mucosa,increase the risk of injury of intercellular junctions,leading to disruption of mucosal barrier. Aims:To investigate the expressions of occludin and zonula occluden-1 (ZO-1)in chronic gastritis and their significance. Methods:A total of 82 patients with chronic gastritis from October 2014 to October 2017 at the First People's Hospital of Xiaochang were enrolled and divided into chronic non-atrophic gastritis (CNAG)group and chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG)group according to the endoscopic biopsy pathology. Forty healthy subjects were served as normal controls. Expressions of occludin and ZO-1 were examined by immunohistochemistry. Patients positive for Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection received eradication therapy,and expressions of occludin and ZO-1 were reexamined after Hp eradication. Results:The positivity rates of occludin and ZO-1 proteins in CNAG and CAG groups were significantly lower than those in normal control group (P<0.05). The positivity rates of occludin and ZO-1 proteins in CNAG group were significantly higher than those in CAG group (P<0.05). The positivity rates of occludin and ZO-1 proteins in Hp-positive CNAG patients were significantly lower than those in Hp-negative CNAG patients (P<0.05). The positivity rate of ZO-1 protein in Hp-positive CAG patients was significantly lower than that in Hp-negative CAG patients (P<0.05). Expressions of occludin and ZO-1 proteins showed a linear trend correlation with activity of gastric inflammation (P <0.05);their expressions decreased significantly with the increase in activity of inflammation. The positivity rates of occludin and ZO-1 proteins in CNAG patients increased significantly after Hp eradication (P<0.05). Conclusions:Expressions of occludin and ZO-1 are decreased in chronic gastritis,especially in CAG,and are correlated with Hp infection and activity of gastric inflammation.
