Helicobacter pylori eradication can reverse gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM) in some but not all patients. H. pylori induces high levels of nuclear β-catenin staining in IM tissues, as well as overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). This study investigated whether the Wnt/β-catenin pathway plays a role in IM regression following H. pylori eradication. Sixty-five H. pylori-infected patients with IM who had achieved successful H. pylori eradication provided paired gastric samples before and after eradication to analyse the persistence of IM, and to assess COX-2 and nuclear β-catenin expression. The host genotypes of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the COX-2, β-catenin (CTNNB1) and adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) genes were analysed. In addition, expression of β-catenin, E-cadherin and phosphorylated and unphosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) in cell lines challenged with H. pylori isolates from patients with and without IM persistence was compared by immunoanalysis. After a mean 33.9-month follow-up after H. pylori eradication, 44 patients (67.7 %) with IM persistence had a higher rate of high-level nuclear β-catenin expression in IM tissue than those without IM persistence (P=0.008). The patients with IM persistence had a higher rate of AA, GG and AA APC SNP genotypes at positions 4479, 5268 and 5465, respectively, than the patients without IM persistence (P=0.022). The H. pylori isolates from the patients with IM regression after H. pylori eradication induced more phospho-GSK-3β in AGS cells than isolates from patients with IM persistence (P=0.011). It is likely that interactions with H. pylori and the patient's Wnt/β-catenin genetic predisposition determine the outcome of IM persistence following H. pylori eradication.

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapy may improve gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia, but the results of previous studies have not always been consistent. The aim of this study was to compare the histological changes of intestinal metaplasia and gastric atrophy among the use of acid-suppressing drugs after H. pylori eradication. Methods: A cohort of 242 patients who underwent successful eradication therapy for H. pylori gastritis and surveillance endoscopy examination from 1996 to 2015 was analyzed. Changes in the histological scores of intestinal metaplasia and atrophy according to drug use (proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs), and non-acid suppressant use) were evaluated in biopsies of the antrum and corpus using a generalized linear mixed model in all patients. Results: The mean follow-up period and number of biopsies were 5.48 ± 4.69 years and 2.62 ± 1.67 times, respectively. Improvement in the atrophy scores of both the antrum (p = 0.042) and corpus (p = 0.020) were significantly superior in patients with non-acid suppressant drug use compared with those of PPI and H2RA use. Metaplasia scores in both the antrum and corpus did not improve in all groups, and no significant differences were observed among groups in the antrum (p = 0.271) and corpus (p = 0.077). Conclusions: Prolonged acid suppression by PPIs or H2RAs may limit the recovery of gastric atrophy following H. pylori eradication.

The aim of the study was to compare the prevalence and severity of precancerous condition – gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia (IM) between Eastern European (Lithuania and Latvia) and Asian (Taiwan) countries in population older than 55 years. Methods. Patients aged 55 years and older, referred for upper endoscopy due to dyspeptic symptoms, were included in the study. Gastric biopsies were histological investigated according modified Sydney classification. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) was detected if any two of three methods (urease test, histology, and serology) were positive. Results. Overall 322 patients included: 52 from Taiwan (TW), 171 from Latvia (LV) and 99 from Lithuania (LT). There were 227 (70%) females and 95 (30%) males. The mean age of TW patients was significantly lower (61.0±5.8 years), than of LV (68.1±7.3 years) and LT (66.5±7.5 years) patients. H. pylori was established in 224 (69.6%) patients. H. pylori positivity was established in 43 (82.7%) TW patients, in 112 (65.5%) LV patients, and in 69 (69.7%) LT patients (P>0.05). In H. pylori-infected patients, any atrophy either in the corpus or in the antrum of the stomach was detected in 26 (60.5%) TW patients, in 40 (35.7%) LV patients, and in 36 (52.2%) LT patients (between TW and LV patients P<0.005). Severe atrophy (grade 2 or 3) detected in 8 (18.6%) TW patients, in 17 (15.2%) LV patients, and in 18 (26.1%) LT patients (P>0.05). Intestinal metaplasia was detected in 22 (51.2%) TW patients, in 37 (33.0%) LV patients and in 31 (44.9%) LT patients among countries (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in proportions of different degrees of both atrophy and intestinal metaplasia among countries. Intestinal metaplasia was found in 79 (77.5%) of 102 patients with any degree of atrophy and in 11 (9.0%) of 122 patients without atrophy (P<0.0001). We found strong statistically significant correlations between atrophy and intestinal metaplasia in antrum (r=0.89), P<0.01, and corpus (r= 0.73), P<0.01. Conclusions. The prevalence of H. pylori in the elderly population is still high in LT, LV, and TW. There are no significant differences in prevalence of gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia among TW, LT, and LV. There is a strong correlation between gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia.
