Abstract:
CYP1A1 expression in various tissues of 43 gastric cancer cases was analyzed with frozen tissue array-based immunohistochemical staining (IHC), RT-PCR, Western blot analysis and EROD (7-ethoxyresourfin-O-deethylase) assay. CYP1A1 was detected immunohistochemically in 86% (37/43) of gastric cancers, in both 57% (4/7) of atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia and in 7.7% (1/13) of non-cancerous mucosa. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis revealed coincident results with that of IHC and ruled out possible concurrent CYP1A2 expression. EROD assay showed increased CYP1A1/1B1 activity in either cancer or premalignant tissues but not in non-cancerous ones. The frequencies of CYP1A1 expression are significantly different between non-cancerous and premalignant (P<0.025) or cancer groups (P<0.005), suggesting that CYP1A1 is expressed at relatively early stage of gastrocarcinogenesis and exerts its effects throughout the stepwise oncogenic processes.

Pathophysiology of Peptic Ulcer Disease: Injurious Factors
In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.
