Background/Aims:
Based on the gene expression profiles of gastric epithelial tissue at different stages of Helicobacter pylori-infected gastritis, key long noncoding RNAs and genes in the development of Helicobacter pylori infection-induced gastritis were screened to provide a basis for early diagnosis and treatment.
Materials And Methods:
We downloaded 2 sets of sample data from the database, including gastric epithelial tissue samples from gastritis patients from Bhutan and Dominican, and screened mRNAs in the differentially expressed RNAs of the 2 regions. Mfuzz clustering algorithm was used to screen RNAs related to the 3 stages of chronic gastritis. The competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulation network was constructed, and the selected key RNAs were verified. Samples from Bhutan and Dominican were subdivided into the chronic gastritis/ normal comparison groups, and the differentially expressed RNAs were screened to obtain 1067 overlapping RNAs, containing 21 long noncoding RNAs and 1046 mRNAs.
Results:
Thirty-eight significant gene ontology functional nodes and 6 expression pattern clusters were obtained. Two ceRNA regulatory networks were constructed, and 4 shared miRNAs (hsa-miR-320b, hsa-miR-320c, hsa-miR-320d, and hsa-miR-155-5p) were obtained. Eleven important long noncoding RNAs (AFAP1-AS1, MIR155HG, LINC00472, and FAM201A) and mRNAs (CASP10, SLC26A2, TRIB1, BMP2K, SCAMP1, TNKS1BP1, and MBOAT2) regulated by these 4 miRNAs were obtained. These results indicated that Helicobacter pylori infection had a certain influence on the development of gastritis.
Conclusions:
The 11 key RNAs can provide a target for the early diagnosis and treatment of chronic gastritis following Helicobacter pylori infection.

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...
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...

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.
Peptic ulcers can also be...
Gastritis III: Clinical Manifestations and Management
Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
