Abstract
AIM:To study the relationship between hot high-salt diet and chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) and gastric cancer, and detect the expression of HSP60, HSP 70 and HSP 90 α and p53 protein in the rat gastric mucosa of atrophic gastritis induced by high-salt hot water. METHODS:Rat CAG models were firstly established by intragastrical feeding with 15 % 55 °C salt water for 12 weeks. Some rats were killed to detect HSP60,HSP 70,HSP 90 α and p53 protein every 4 weeks by immunohistochemical method in the control group (intragastrically fed with 25 °C distilled water for 12 weeks) and the experimental group. RERULTS:The expression of HSP60,HSP70 and HSP90 α was low in gastric mucosal tissue cells of rats at 4 weeks and 8 weeks. There was no significant difference between the experimental and the control group (P >0.05). The expression rates were significantly higher in the rats of experimental group at 12 weeks when CAG had formed than those in the control group (P <0.01). The expression rates of HSP 70 were the highest (33 %) among these proteins, the expression rates of HSP90 α were moderate (24 %), and the expression rates of HSP60 were the lowest (6 %). The p53 protein was not detected in normal group rats as well as in rats of the model group at 4 weeks and 8 weeks, but it was detected at 12 weeks in the CAG rats of the model group with an expression rate of 15.5 %,which was significantly associated with the expression of HSP70 and HSP90 α, especially, the former which had no association with the expression of HSP60. CONCLUSION:Long time high-salt hot diet can induce CAG, and may even promote the development of gastric cancer. HSP70/HSP90 α and p53 proteins might have combined effect in the development from CAG to gastric cancer.
