Helicobacter pylori CagA cytotoxin, encoded by the cagA gene, has been associated with increased inflammatory response in gastric tissue and the change in control of cell growth and proliferation. Activation of this cytotoxin occurs by phosphorylation in specific tyrosine residues within an amino acid sequence termed motif EPIYA, four types of motifs are described in the literature (EPIYA-A,-B-C and D). However, the site EPIYA-C is the most common site of phosphorylation of CagA protein of the bacterial strains isolated in Western countries, may still be found in repetitions. This study aimed to determine the types of motifs EPIYA of CagA present in patients with gastritis and gastric cancer and its association with these diseases. Were collected samples from gastric biopsies of 384 patients infected with H. pylori, of this 194 presented chronic gastritis and 190 had gastric cancer. The gastric biopsy was used for bacterial DNA extraction and analysis of the cagA gene by PCR. The prevalence of gastric cancer occurs in males, mean age 58 years. The cagA gene was more prevalent in patients with gastric cancer, showing association with a higher degree of inflammation, neutrophil activity and development of intestinal metaplasia (OR = 4,31, IC 95% = 2,71-6,87, p <10-3; OR = 3,57, IC 95% = 2,18 – 5,84, p <10-3; OR = 11,11, IC 95% = 5,48 – 22,30, p <10-3; OR = 3,65, IC 95% = 1,50-8,88, p=0,004, respectively). The number of repetitions EPIYA-C site was significantly associated with increased risk of gastric cancer (OR = 2,99, IC 95% = 1,53-5,82, p <10-3). The higher number of motifs EPIYA-C was also associated with intestinal metaplasia (p = 0,02). In this study the infection by strains of H. pylori carriers cagA gene with more than one motif EPIYA-C shown to be associated with the development of intestinal metaplasia and gastric cancer, but without an association to neutrophil activity and degree of inflammation.

Comparação das cepas de Helicobacter pylori na placa bacteriana dental e mucosa gástrica

Helicobacter pylori infection is extremely frequent over the world, mainly in development countries, including Brazil. It’s associated to chronic gastritis, duodenal and gastric ulcer, and is considered as an important risk factor for gastric cancer and gastric MALT lymphoma. The transmission routes remain unclear, but oral-oral and fecal-oral routs seem to be the most probable ones. The value of the presence of the bacteria on the dental plaque also remains unclear, and it maybe a source for gastric infection. Aiming in identifying and correlating the H. pylori stains found in gastric mucosa and dental plaque of 99 adult dyspeptic patients submitted to upper digestive endoscopies at Hospital Universitário João de Barros Barreto, in 2005 were evaluated. Samples from dental plaque were collected by sterile sticks and urease test and polymerase (PCR) chain reaction were undertaken. During the endoscopic procedure 6 pieces were collected from antrun and investigated by urease test, histopathology and PCR, after obtaining informed consent. The results were analyzed using BioEstat 3.0 package. The bacteria was found in 96% of gastric samples and in 72% of dental plaque samples, and this difference was statistically significant (p<0,001). There weren’t statistically significant differences related to age or gender. Every patient presented gastric diseases. In 18% of the cases lessons considered as of higher severity such as ulcers or pre-malignant lesions, as intestinal metaplasia, were found, and, among these, there were 82.4% of cases with both gastric and dental plaque infection. PCR was the most efficient test either on dental plaque and gastric mucosa samples. Among the 71 cases where the dental plaque samples were positive for the presence of the bacteria, the stains were identical to the gastric mucosa H pylori stains in 89%. The most common genotype was s1bm1cagA positive, either at dental plaque and gastric mucosa. The type 1 strains, considered the most pathogenic ones, were found in 63 patients on gastric mucosa and in 58 patients on dental plaque. The high frequency of H. pylori found on dental plaque might indicate the oral cavity as a colonizing locus for this bacteria and a risk factor for gastric infection.
