AIM: To investigate influence of Na2SeO3 and gastric endocrine cells on N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) induced gastric carcinogenesis in rats and its mechanism.
METHODS: Weaning male Wistar rats were divided randomly into four groups: The normal control group, experiment control group, low selenium (2 mg/L) group and high selenium group (4 mg/L). The Wistar rat gastric cancer was induced by MNNG (20 mg/kg) gavage daily for 10 days. Na2SeO3 was given by piped drinking before one week of MNNG (20 mg/kg) gavage. The Wistar rats were killed at the 43th week. The surface characters of gastric mucosa were observed with nude eyes. Histopathologic changes were observed by HE stain and AB-PAS methods. Changes of gastric endocrine cells were detected by immunohistochemical S-P method. The immunohistochemical results were quantitatively analyzed by the image analyzer. Statistical analysis was taken by SPSS.
RESULTS: Dietary Na2SeO3 (2 mg/L, 4 mg/L) aggravated gastric erosion and hemorrhage and promoted intestinal metaplasia of gastric mucosa (45.5%, 66.7%, 92.9%; 92.9% vs 45.5%, P < 0.05). Leiomyoma formed in the process of induced rats gastric carcinoma. Dietary Na2SeO3 (2 mg/L, 4 mg/L) increased incidence rate of leiomyoma. The numeric density of area (NA) of SP immunohistochemical positive cells was significantly increased in low selenium group than those of normal control group (9.909±5.665 vs 4.455±2.583, P < 0.05). Absorbance mean (Amean) of gastrin immunohistochemical positive cells was significantly decreased in experimental control group, low selenium than that of normal control group (0.187±0.033, 0.119±0.024 vs 0.306±0.011, P < 0.01), and low selenium group than experiment control group (0.119±0.024 vs 0.187±0.033, P < 0.01). NA and Amean of somatostation cells (SOM) were not significantly different in each group.
CONCLUSION: These findings suggested that dietary Na2SeO3 by piped drinking might not decrease incidence of Wistar rat gastric caner induced by MNNG. The mechanism may be involved in that selenium promoted SP cells proliferation and decreased secretion of gastrin cells in gastric mucosa.
