Atrophic and Metaplastic Progression in the Background Mucosa of Patients with Gastric Adenoma.
    PloS one, 2017, Volume: 12, Issue:1

    In patients with adenoma, assessing premalignant changes in the surrounding mucosa is important for surveillance. This study evaluated atrophic and metaplastic progression in the background mucosa of adenoma or early gastric cancer (EGC) cases.. Among 146 consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic resection for intestinal-type gastric neoplasia, the adenoma group included 56 patients with low-grade dysplasia and the ECG group included 90 patients with high-grade dysplasia or invasive carcinoma. For histology, 3 paired biopsies were obtained from the antrum, corpus lesser curvature (CLC), and corpus greater curvature (CGC). Serological atrophy was determined based on pepsinogen A (PGA), progastricsin (PGC), gastrin-17, and total ghrelin levels. Topographic progression of atrophy and/or metaplasia was staged using the operative link on gastritis assessment (OLGA) and operative link on gastric intestinal metaplasia assessment (OLGIM) systems.. Rates of moderate-to-marked histological atrophy/metaplasia in patients with adenoma were 52.7%/78.2% at the antrum (vs. 58.8%/76.4% in EGC group), 63.5%/75.0% at the CLC (vs. 60.2%/69.7% in EGC group), and 10.9%/17.9% at the CGC (vs. 5.6%/7.8% in EGC group). Serological atrophy indicated by PGA and PGC occurred in 23.2% and 15.6% of cases in the adenoma and ECG groups, respectively (p = 0.25). Mean serum gastrin-17 concentrations of the adenoma group and EGC group were 10.4 and 9.0 pmol/L, respectively (p = 0.54). Mean serum total ghrelin levels were 216.6 and 209.5 pg/mL, respectively (p = 0.71). Additionally, between group rates of stage III-IV OLGA and OLGIM were similar (25.9% vs. 25.0%, p = 0.90; 41.8% vs. 44.9%, p = 0.71, respectively).. Atrophic and metaplastic progression is extensive and severe in gastric adenoma patients. A surveillance strategy for metachronous tumors should be applied similarly for patients with adenoma or EGC.

The significance of elevated levels of gastrin in patients with pituitary adenoma.
    Clinical endocrinology, 1987, Volume: 27, Issue:4

    Six patients were studied with pituitary adenomas and elevated concentrations of gastrin similar to those found in cases of benign antral gastrinoma syndrome. Chromatography of the serum using Sephadex-G50 revealed different molecular forms of gastrin according to the type of adenomas. In those cases of acromegaly and gonadotrophinoma, gastrin-34 and unsulphated gastrins constitute the predominant forms. In contrast, in cases of Cushing's disease, gastrin-17, sulphated as well as non-sulphated were the predominant types; the chromatographic pattern was similar to that observed in two patients with antral gastrinoma syndrome who acted as controls. These findings demonstrate that pituitary adenomas might secrete gastrin. Taking into account that gastrin-34 and unsulphated gastrins were the predominant forms in cases of acromegaly, gonadotrophinoma and non-functioning adenoma, it is assumed that those molecular forms are mainly produced in the anterior lobe of the hypophysis. Conversely, gastrin-17 was the principal molecular form in cases of Cushing's disease confirming the close relationship of the synthesis of gastrin and corticotrophin peptides. The cases with Cushing's disease exhibited a serum gastrin pattern similar to that observed in the two cases with antral syndrome in which the predominant immunoreactive form of gastrin in gastrin-17 exhibiting a degree of sulphation corresponding to that of antral gastrin. It is concluded that the circulating excess of gastrin originated in the pituitary tumour tissue and the molecular form varied with the type of pituitary adenoma.

Hyperparathyroid glands contain G-17 and G-34 gastrin.
    The Journal of surgical research, 1986, Volume: 41, Issue:3

    To determine if gastrin in hyperparathyroid glands is true gastrin or artifact and to determine the frequency of gastrin in parathyroid glands, 20 parathyroid glands from 11 patients with hyperparathyroidism but without MEA were extracted and analyzed for gastrin. The parathyroid glands from 4 out of 11 patients had measurable gastrin immunoreactivity (10.7 + 6 pg/mg tissue). Column separation chromatography confirmed that this was true gastrin (40% G-34; 50% G-17). Immunohistochemistry with ABC (avidin biotin complex) immunoperoxidase confirmed the presence of gastrin in cytoplasmic vesicles in scattered parathyroid cells. True gastrin does exist in some cells in some patients with hyperparathyroidism.
