Abstract

The experimental evidence that long-term colonization of Helicobacter pylori results in the development of gastric cancer in Mongolian gerbils has been reported only by two Japanese groups to date. This study aimed to investigate the carcinogenicity of H. pylori infection in a Mongolian gerbil model. Thirty-six Mongolian gerbils (inner Mongolian origin) were divided into two groups (male to female ratio, 1:1) and orally inoculated with a standard H. pylori strain (ATCC43504) or H. pylori161 (isolated from a Chinese patient with gastric adenocarcinoma), respectively, once a week for 5 weeks. Another 10 control gerbils were given phosphate-buffered saline. The animals were killed 8, 20, 28 and 84 weeks after inoculation for bacterial and histological examination. Seven inoculated gerbils died at the week 42. Overall, H. pylori colonization was detected in 24 (83%) of the 29 available inoculated gerbils. The gastric lesions were aggravated gradually over time. At week 84, moderate to severe gastritis, characterized by diffuse infiltration of mononuclear cells and formation of multiple lymphoid follicles in mucosa and submucosa, and even the lymphoepithelial lesions, were observed. Epithelial hyperplasia were dominant in almost all...Continue Reading

Atrophic Gastritis

Atrophic Gastritis is a process where gastric glandular cells are lost and replaced with firbous tissues, as a result of chronic inflammation. Learn more about Atrophic Gastritis here.
