Chronic inflammation has been implicated in the etiology of gastric cancer. Prostaglandin-E2(PGE2) is one of the major end products of the COX-2 pathway, an enzyme that is an important mediator of inflammation. Using a novel method of quantifying the primary urinary metabolite of PGE2(PGE-M, 11 alpha-hydroxy-9,15-dioxo-2,3,4,5-tetranorprostane-1,20-dioic acid), we evaluated urinary PGE-M concentrations in association with subsequent risk of development of gastric cancer in the Shanghai Women’s Health Study, a large population-based prospective cohort, using a nested case-control study design. Controls were matched(1:1) to 153 gastric cancer cases by menopausal status; age, time and date of sample collection; time interval since last meal and availability of urine sample. Odds ratios(OR) and 95% confidence intervals(95%CI) were calculated using conditional logistic regression adjusted for potential confounders. Baseline urinary PGE-M levels were slightly higher among gastric cancer cases with a median of 6.4 ng/mg creatinine (interquartile range: 3.4–11.2) compared to 5.4 among controls (interquartile range: 2.8–9.0) but this difference was not statistically significant (Wilcoxon p-value=0.34). With increasing quartiles of urinary PGE-M levels, the ORs for risk of gastric cancer increased in quartiles 2, 3, and 4: 1.00 (95%CI:0.48–2.08), 1.40 (95%CI:0.67–2.91) and 1.98 (95%CI:0.95–4.13), with a statistically significant test for trend (p=0.04). The association persisted after additional adjustment for H. pylori status, and was slightly strengthened among non-NSAID users, subjects with positive H. pylori status, and for cases diagnosed within 46 months after study enrollment. Our findings suggest that higher levels of urinary PGE-M, a marker of inflammation, may be associated with gastric cancer risk.
