Abstract
Background

Adenocarcinoma is preceded by chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia. Trefoil factor 3 (TFF3) is a peptide secreted by goblet cells, which is abundantly present in intestinal metaplasia.

Aim

To evaluate the utility of serum TFF3 as a non-invasive biomarker for the diagnosis of intestinal metaplasia and gastric cancer.

Methods

Single-center, cross-sectional study of 274 patients who consecutively underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with gastric biopsies (updated Sydney system). TFF3 levels were measured in serum by a commercial ELISA kit. Patients with normal histology or chronic atrophic gastritis without intestinal metaplasia comprised the control group. In addition, 14 patients with invasive gastric cancer were included as a reference group. The association between TFF3 levels and intestinal metaplasia was assessed by logistic regression.

Results

Patients with intestinal metaplasia (n=110) had a higher median TFF3 level as compared to controls (n=164), 13.1 vs. 11.9ng/mL, respectively (p=0.024). Multivariable logistic regression showed a no significant association between TFF3 levels and intestinal metaplasia (OR=1.20; 95%CI: 0.87–1.65; p-trend=0.273). The gastric cancer group had a median TFF3 level of 20.5ng/mL, and a significant association was found (OR=3.26; 95%CI: 1.29–8.27; p-trend=0.013).

Conclusion

Serum levels of TFF3 do not discriminate intestinal metaplasia in this high-risk Latin American population. Nevertheless, we confirmed an association between TFF3 levels and invasive gastric cancer.

Resumen
Introducción

El adenocarcinoma gástrico es precedido por la gastritis crónica atrófica, metaplasia intestinal y displasia gástrica. Trefoil factor 3 (TFF3) es un péptido secretado por las células caliciformes, que están abundantemente presentes en la metaplasia intestinal.

Objetivo

Evaluar la utilidad de TFF3 sérico como biomarcador no invasivo para el diagnóstico de metaplasia intestinal y cáncer gástrico.

Métodos

Estudio transversal, de 274 pacientes a los que se les realizó endoscopia digestiva alta consecutivamente con biopsias gástricas (sistema Sydney actualizado). Los niveles de TFF3 se midieron en suero mediante un kit de ELISA comercial. Los pacientes con histología normal o gastritis crónica atrófica sin metaplasia intestinal formaron el grupo control. Además, se incluyeron como grupo de referencia 14 pacientes con cáncer gástrico avanzado. La asociación entre los niveles de TFF3 y la metaplasia intestinal se evaluó mediante una regresión logística.

Resultados

Los pacientes con metaplasia intestinal (n=110) presentaron una mediana de TFF3 más alta en comparación con el grupo control (n=164), 13,1 vs. 11,9ng/ml, respectivamente (p=0,024). Sin embargo, la regresión logística multivariable no mostró una asociación significativa entre los niveles de TFF3 y la metaplasia intestinal (OR=1,20; IC95%: 0,87-1,65; p-trend=0,273). El grupo de cáncer gástrico tuvo una mediana significativamente mayor de TFF3 de 20,5ng/ml (OR=3,26; IC95%: 1,29-8,27; p-trend=0,013).

Conclusión

Los niveles séricos de TFF3 no permiten el diagnóstico no invasivo de metaplasia intestinal en esta población latinoamericana de alto riesgo. La asociación entre los niveles de TFF3 y el cáncer gástrico avanzado fue confirmada.
