Abstract
Objective: To provide an objective experimental basis for the gastric mucosa pathological evolution and the transformation of different Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes in helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-related gastric diseases (HPGD) patients, based on the combination of TCM syndrome differentiation, molecular biology and histopathology.
Methods: A total of 203 participants were enrolled in this study. The expressions of miR-499/miR-149 and H. pylori infection in the gastric tissues from all participants were detected. The genotyping for miR-499 rs3746444 and miR-149 rs2292832 was performed.
Results: In H. pylori positive subjects, the proportion of precancerous gastric lesions (PGL) in liver-stomach disharmony syndrome (LSDS) group was higher than in spleen Qi deficiency syndrome (SQDS) group (P <0.001); The proportion of gastric cancer (GC) in SQDS group was higher than in spleen-stomach damp-heat syndrome (SSDHS) group and LSDS group (all P <0.001). We also found C allele of miR-149 rs2292832 was linked to lower risk of gastric atrophy [miR-149 rs2292832 C vs T: adjusted odds ratio = 0.207; 95% confidence interval (0.043-0.989); P = 0.048]. Compared with healthy control (HC) group, the expression of miR-499 was significantly increased in GC group, while the expression of miR-149 was significantly decreased in chronic inflammation group, PGL group and GC group (all P < 0.05). Test for trend showed that GC risk was on a rising trend with the increasing expression of miR-499 and decreasing expression of miR-149 (both P for trend < 0.05).
Conclusion: The C allele of miR-149 rs2292832 may be a protective factor for gastric mucosal atrophy. H. pylori may participate in the evolution of benign to malignant gastric mucosa lesions by inducing the overexpression of miR-499 and down regulation of miR-149. In addition, patients with H. pylori infection combined SQDS or LSDS may have higher risk of gastric mucosal malignant lesions.
