The observation of the expression changes of protein gene product9.5 in neurons from the gastric walls of rats with gastritis / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the possible enteric nervous pathogenesis in gastritis related GI motor disorders on the expression changes of protein gene product9. 5 in neurons from the gastric walls of gastritis rat model. Methods 35 clean grade Wister rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, which included gastritis group A (n =10), gastritis group B(n =15) and control group(n =10). Rats in gastritis group A and B received gastric perfusion of HP and the mixture of 2% aspirin and 0. 6N hydrochloric acid respectively. The control group only received gastric perfusion of saline. All of the rats were killed and the gastric mucosal tissues were obtained for the pathological and HP examination. After immunohistochemical pretreatment, the tissues were stained with PGP9. 5 and at the same time the maximum diameter (Dmax, μm), mean area(μm2) and mean optical density (nm) of the neurons from the gastric walls were compared among the groups with Image-Pro Plus professional image analysis system. Results In gastric group A, HP could be found sparsely in the mucous layer or gastric pits, and all of the rapid urease tests were positive. In the other two groups, HP could not be found, and all of the rapid urease tests were negarive. In both gastric group A and B, different grades of inflammatory cell infiltration with active inflammation signs could be found in the deep layers of mucosa, while the control group was normal. The expression mean area, mean optical density of neurons from the gastric wall of rat in group A[(77. 10 ±48. 46) μm2, (53. 25 ±41.40) nm] or B [(73. 92 ± 39. 60) μm2, (45.33 ± 33.20) nm] was obvious lower than control group [(143.51 ± 29. 84) μm2, (85. 00 ± 14. 32) nm], while there was no significant difference between gastric group A and B (P ＞0. 05) (table 1). Conclusions Hp and NSAIDs might cause gastritis and decrease the PGP9. 5 expression of Neurous from gastric walls. The decrease of PGP9. 5 expression of neurons from the gastric wall might contribute to the pathogenesis of GI motor disorders or symptoms of functional dyspepsia.
