    Abstract:
    Both Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and bile acids are gastric carcinogens. An experimental model of duodenogastric reflux in Mongolian gerbils was developed and was used to study the effects of Hp infection and duodenogastric reflux on N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-induced glandular stomach tumorigenesis independently and synergistically. Male Mongolian gerbils underwent both inoculation with Hp, and had duodenogastric reflux (DR) induced, or neither, followed by MNNG administration. Animals were sacrificed at week 40, and histopathological examination of their excised stomachs and serological investigation were performed. Glandular stomach adenocarcinomas were observed in animals that underwent Hp inoculation and/or induction of DR after MNNG administration, and glandular stomach adenomas were found in animals inoculated with Hp after MNNG administration. The incidence of glandular stomach tumors was significantly higher in animals inoculated with Hp after MNNG administration and in animals undergoing combined Hp inoculation, DR induction and MNNG administration than in animals only administered MNNG. These findings indicate that Hp infection has a stronger tumorigenic effect than the exposure to duodenal contents, and duodenal contents may attenuate the effect of Hp on glandular stomach tumorigenesis.
