    Identification of anti-Helicobacter pylori antibody signatures in gastric intestinal metaplasia
    (2023) Song, Lusheng; Song, Minkyo; Rabkin, Charles S.; Chung, Yunro; Williams, Stacy; Torres, Javier; Corvalan, Alejandro H.; Gonzalez, Robinson; Bellolio, Enrique; Shome, Mahasish; LaBaer, Joshua; Qiu, Ji; Camargo, M. Constanza
    Background Chronic Helicobacter pylori infection may induce gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM). We compared anti-H. pylori antibody profiles between IM cases and non-atrophic gastritis (NAG) controls. Methods We evaluated humoral responses to 1528 H. pylori proteins among a discovery set of 50 IM and 50 NAG using H. pylori protein arrays. Antibodies with >= 20% sensitivity at 90% specificity for either group were selected and further validated in an independent set of 100 IM and 100 NAG using odds ratios (OR). A validated multi-signature was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) and net reclassification improvement (NRI). Results Sixty-two immunoglobulin (Ig) G and 11 IgA antibodies were detected in > 10%. Among them, 22 IgG and 6 IgA antibodies were different between IM and NAG in the discovery set. Validated antibodies included 11 IgG (anti-HP1177/Omp27/HopQ [OR = 8.1, p < 0.001], anti-HP0547/CagA [4.6, p < 0.001], anti-HP0596/Tip alpha [4.0, p = 0.002], anti-HP0103/TlpB [3.8, p = 0.001], anti-HP1125/PalA/Omp18 [3.1, p = 0.001], anti-HP0153/RecA [0.48, p = 0.03], anti-HP0385 [0.41, p = 0.006], anti-HP0243/TlpB [0.39, p = 0.016], anti-HP0371/FabE [0.37, p = 0.017], anti-HP0900/HypB/AccB [0.35, p = 0.048], and anti-HP0709 [0.30, p = 0.003]), and 2 IgA (anti-HP1125/PalA/Omp18 [2.7, p = 0.03] and anti-HP0596/Tip alpha [2.5, p = 0.027]). A model including all 11 IgG antibodies (AUC = 0.81) had better discriminated IM and NAG compared with an anti-CagA only (AUC = 0.77) model (NRI = 0.44; p = 0.001). Conclusions Our study represents the most comprehensive assessment of anti-H. pylori antibody profiles in IM. The target antigens for these novel antibodies may act together with CagA in the progression to IM. Along with other biomarkers, specific H. pylori antibodies may identify IM patients, who would benefit from surveillance.

    Implementation of the updated Sydney system biopsy protocol improves the diagnostic yield of gastric preneoplastic conditions: Results from a real-world study
    (2024) Latorre, Gonzalo; Vargas, Jose Ignacio; Shah, Shailja C.; Ivanovic-Zuvic, Danisa; Achurra, Pablo; Fritzsche, Martin; Leung, Jai-Sen; Ramos, Bernardita; Jensen, Elisa; Uribe, Javier; Montero, Isabella; Gandara, Vicente; Robles, Camila; Bustamante, Miguel; Silva, Felipe; Dukes, Eitan; Corsi, Oscar; Martinez, Francisca; Binder, Victoria; Candia, Roberto; Espino, Alberto; Agueero, Carlos; Sharp, Allan; Torres, Javiera; Roa, Juan Carlos; Pizarro, Margarita; Corvalan, Alejandro H.; Rabkin, Charles S.; Camargo, M. Constanza; Riquelme, Arnoldo
    Background: The updated Sydney system biopsy protocol (USSBP) standardizes the sampling of gastric biopsies for the detection of preneoplastic conditions ( e.g. , gastric intestinal metaplasia [GIM]), but the real-world diagnostic yield is not well-described. Aim: To determine whether regular application of USSBP is associated with higher detection of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), GIM and autoimmune gastritis (AIG). Methods: We performed a real-world retrospective study at an academic urban tertiary hospital in Chile. We manually reviewed medical records from consecutive patients undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) from January to December 2017. Seven endoscopists who performed EGDs were categorized into two groups (USSBP 'regular' and USSBP 'infrequent') based on USSBP adherence, using minimum 20% adherence as the prespecified threshold. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between endoscopist groups and the likelihood of diagnosing CAG, GIM or AIG. Results: 1206 patients were included in the study (mean age: 58.5; 65.3% female). The USSBP regular group demonstrated a higher likelihood of detecting CAG (20% vs . 5.3%; aOR 4.03, 95%CI: 2.69-6.03), GIM (12.2% vs. 3.4%; aOR 3.91, 95%CI: 2.39-6.42) and AIG (2.9% vs. 0.8%; aOR 6.52, 95%CI: 1.87-22.74) compared to infrequent group. Detection of advanced-stage CAG (Operative Link for Gastritis Assessment stage III/IV) was significantly higher in the USSBP regular vs. infrequent group (aOR 5.84, 95%CI: 2.23-15.31). Conclusions: Routine adherence to USSBP increases the detection rates of preneoplastic conditions, including CAG, GIM and AIG. Standardized implementation of USSBP should be considered in high gastric cancer risk populations. (c) 2023 Elsevier Espana, S.L.U. All rights reserved.

    Improved survival of gastric cancer with tumour Epstein-Barr virus positivity: an international pooled analysis
    (2014) Camargo, M. Constanza; Kim, Woo-Ho; Chiaravalli, Anna Maria; Kim, Kyoung-Mee; Corvalan, Alejandro H.; Matsuo, Keitaro; Yu, Jun; Sung, Joseph J. Y.; Herrera-Goepfert, Roberto; Meneses-Gonzalez, Fernando; Kijima, Yuko; Natsugoe, Shoji; Liao, Linda M.; Lissowska, Jolanta; Kim, Sung; Hu, Nan; Gonzalez, Carlos A.; Yatabe, Yashushi; Koriyama, Chihaya; Hewitt, Stephen M.; Akiba, Suminori; Gulley, Margaret L.; Taylor, Philip R.; Rabkin, Charles S.
    Background and objective About 9% of gastric carcinomas have Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the tumour cells, but it is unclear whether viral presence influences clinical progression. We therefore examined a large multicentre case series for the association of tumour EBV status with survival after gastric cancer diagnosis, accounting for surgical stage and other prognostic factors.
