IL-10 Plays a Pivotal Role in Tamoxifen-Induced Spasmolytic Polypeptide-Expressing Metaplasia in Gastric Mucosa

چکیده
Background/Aims Gastric cancer evolves in the pathologic mucosal milieu, and its development is characterized by both the loss of acid-secreting parietal cells and mucosal cell metaplasia, called spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM). Cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-10, IL-1β, and IL-6, play a key role in gastric carcinogenesis. However, changes in the cytokine profile of SPEM have not been evaluated. Methods To induce SPEM in mouse stomachs, C57BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally injected with tamoxifen and sacrificed at 3, 10, and 21 days after treatment. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and a multiplex bead array were used to measure cytokines in the stomachs of tamoxifen-treated/control mice. Results The administration of tamoxifen led to the rapid development and histological normalization of SPEM 3 and 10 days after administration, respectively. RNA-seq revealed that the expression of IL-10 was decreased 3 days after tamoxifen administration. The multiplex assay identified a significant decline in IL-10 levels 3 days after tamoxifen treatment (58.38±34.44 pg/mL vs 94.09±4.98 pg/mL, p=0.031), which normalized at 10 and 21 days after tamoxifen treatment. Immunofluorescence staining confirmed that IL-10 expression was markedly decreased at the time of SPEM development and subsequently returned to normal, accompanied by a reversal in histologic changes. Conclusions IL-10 may play a pivotal role in the tamoxifen-induced acute development of gastric SPEM.

Metaplasia in the Stomach Arises From Gastric Chief Cells
The development of intestinal-type gastric cancer is preceded by loss of parietal cells (oxyntic atrophy) and the induction of metaplastic cell lineages in the gastric mucosa. For example, mouse models have shown that spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia can develop following oxyntic atrophy through transdifferentiation of zymogen-secreting chief cells. Evolution of spasmolytic polypep...
متن کاملThe Development of Spasmolytic Polypeptide/TFF2-Expressing Metaplasia (SPEM) During Gastric Repair Is Absent in the Aged Stomach
BACKGROUND & AIMS During aging, physiological changes in the stomach result in more tenuous gastric tissue that is less capable of repairing injury, leading to increased susceptibility to chronic ulceration. Spasmolytic polypeptide/trefoil factor 2-expressing metaplasia (SPEM) is known to emerge after parietal cell loss and during Helicobacter pylori infection, however, its role in gastric ulce...
متن کاملInducible activation of Cre recombinase in adult mice causes gastric epithelial atrophy, metaplasia, and regenerative changes in the absence of "floxed" alleles.
The epithelium of the mammalian gastric body comprises multiple cell types replenished by a single stem cell. The adult conformation of cell lineages occurs well after birth; hence, study of genes regulating stem cell activity is facilitated by inducible systems for gene deletion. However, there is a potential pitfall involving the commonly used inducible Cre recombinase system to delete genes:...
متن کاملMouse models of gastric tumors: Wnt activation and PGE2 induction.
Accumulating evidence has suggested that cooperation of oncogenic activation and the host responses is important for cancer development. In gastric cancer, activation of Wnt signaling appears to be a major oncogenic pathway that causes tumorigenesis. In the chronic gastritis caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, cyclooxigenase-2 induces prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) biosythesis, which plays an...
