Resumen
Objetivos

Evaluar la histopatología gástrica en pacientes colombianos con gastritis infectados con Helicobacter pylori CagA-positivo y su asociación a la integridad del islote de patogenicidad Cag (CagPAI) y el número de motivos EPIYA-C presentes en la proteína CagA.

Métodos

Se incluyó a 31 individuos con diagnóstico de gastritis. A partir de biopsias gástricas se aisló H. pylori CagA-positivo y se caracterizó, mediante secuencia, la composición de motivos EPIYA. La histopatología fue evaluada según el sistema Sidney actualizado. Los genes CagA, CagT, CagE y Cag10 fueron genotipificados mediante PCR y electroforesis en agarosa.

Resultados

En total, 24 aislamientos (el 77% de los casos) portaban CagPAI íntegro. De los aislamientos negativos para uno o más genes del CagPAI, 7 de ellos (22%) fueron considerados como portadores de un CagPAI defectuoso. No se observaron diferencias significativas en los promedios de densidad de H. pylori, el grado de inflamación crónica ni la presencia de atrofia glandular o de metaplasia intestinal entre aislamientos con el CagPAI íntegro, en comparación con aislamientos con el CagPAI defectuoso. Tampoco se observaron diferencias significativas en los parámetros histopatológicos entre los aislamientos con un motivo EPIYA-C o más de un motivo EPIYA-C, ni en antro ni en cuerpo, excepto para la infiltración por neutrófilos, que fue significativamente mayor en cuerpo en aislamientos con más de un motivo EPIYA-C (p=0,018).

Conclusiones

No se halló asociación entre la diversidad en los factores de virulencia CagPAI y CagA de aislamientos colombianos, y los hallazgos histopatológicos en la gastritis, otros factores del hospedero o ambientales podrían afectar las características histopatológicas de la gastritis.

Abstract
Objectives

To evaluate gastric histopathology in Colombian patients infected with CagA-positive Helicobacter pylori and its association with the integrity of Cag (CagPAI) pathogenicity island and the number of EPIYA-C motifs present in the CagA protein.

Methods

Thirty-one (31) individuals diagnosed with gastritis were included in the study. Using gastric biopsies, CagA-positive H.pylori was isolated and EPIYA motif makeup was characterized by sequencing. Histopathology was evaluated with updated Sydney system. The CagA, CagT, CagE and Cag10 genes were genotyped using PCR and agarose electrophoresis.

Results

A total of 24 isolates (77% of cases) carried a complete CagPAI. Among the negative isolates for one or more genes with CagPAI, 7 (22%) were considered to be carriers of a defective CagPAI. No significant differences were observed in H. pylori density averages, degree of chronic inflammation, presence of glandular atrophy or intestinal metaplasia between isolates with complete CagPAI and isolates with defective CagPAI. No significant differences were observed in the histopathological parameters between isolates with one EPIYAC motif and those with more than one EPIYA-C motif, neither in antrum nor in body, except for infiltration by neutrophils which was significantly greater in bodies with isolates with more than one EPIYA-C motif (p=0.018).

Conclusions

No association was found between the diversity of virulence CagPAI and CagA factors in Colombian isolates and the histopathological findings in gastritis, or in other host or environmental factors that could affect the histopathological characteristics of gastritis.
