AIM:To determine the pattern of secreted mucin expression in Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori)-related,nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-related and idiopathic gastric ulcers.METHODS:We randomly selected 92 patients with H.pylori-associated (n =30),NSAID-associated (n =18),combined H.pylori and NSAID-associated gastric ulcers (n =24),and patients with idiopathic gastric ulcers (n =20).Immunohistochemistry for T-cell CD4/CD8,and for mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) and mucin 6 (MUC6),was performed on sections of the mucosa from the ulcer margin.Inflammation score was assessed according to the Sydney system.RESULTS:MUC5AC was expressed on the surface epithelium (98.9%) and neck glands (98.9%) with minimal expression in the deep glands (6.5%).MUC6 was strongly expressed in the deep glands (97.8%),variable in the neck glands (19.6%) and absent in the surface epithelium (0%).The pattern of mucin expression in idiopathic ulcer margins was not different from the expression in ulcers associated with H.pylori,NSAIDs,or combined H.pylori and NSAIDs.CD4/CD8 ratio was higher in H.pylori-positive patients (P =0.009).Idiopathic ulcers are associated with hospitalized patients and have higher bleeding and mortality rates.CONCLUSION:Idiopathic ulcers have a unique clinical profile.Gastric mucin expression in idiopathic gastric ulcers is unchanged compared with H.pylori and/or NSAID-associated ulcers.
