To the Editor, Mast cells are one of the inflammatory cells derived from bone marrow [1]. Patients bearing mast cell tumor often have different clinical outcomes, and some patients survive only a few months despite therapy [2]. Helicobacter pylori plays an important role in the regulation of gastric inflammation. Helicobacter pylori has also been shown to have a synergistic interaction with a high salt diet, which enhances the production of gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia. Our results in vitro previously confirmed that H. pylori toxin level was remained at high levels after pretreated with 30% concentration salt [3]. Here, we report development of mast cell tumors in Mongolian gerbils after H. pylori infection, whether H. pylori, pretreated with 30% concentration salt, being a potential risk factor for mast cell tumor has not yet been reported until recently. Helicobacter pylori, isolated from a human gastric cancer patient, were grown under microaerobic conditions on biphasic Brucella culture plates supplemented with 20% fetal calf serum and 30% concentration salt. The bacteria were harvested, and the final concentration was adjusted to 1 9 10 viable bacteria/mL. Helicobacter pylori were identified on the basis of typical colony morphology, Gram straining, and a positive urease test. A total of 20 animals were inoculated with H. pylori (1 9 10 CFU, 0.5 mL), and 20 received the same volume of saline, once a day for three consecutive days. All living animals were completely necropsied at the end of 73 weeks. All specimens were formalin fixed, embedded in paraffin, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Moreover, gastric tissues were stained with AB/PAS, Giemsa, and immunohistochemistry including H. pylori IgG (1:100; DAKO, Glostrup, Denmark), Syn (1:50; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), keratin, and PCNA (1:100; Gene Company, Hong Kong, China). In this study, Giemsa and immunohistochemical staining confirmed that a large number of H. pylori colonized in the mucus layer and a few were closely adhered to the gastric mucosa. Two of 20 (10%) mast cell-like tumor were observed in 100% (20/20) of the H. pylori-infected group vs 0/20(0%)in the sham inoculated animals. Microscopically, tumor-like cells bear round nuclei and rather indistinct cell borders. Nearly all of the neoplastic cells contained numerous predominantly basophilic granules. Giemsa staining showed cytoplasmic basophilic granules had two different morphological characteristics, intensely or loosely distribution. These granules were positive for alcian blue, but were negative for PAS. Mongolian gerbils also had distinct mast cell subsets and mast cells in the jejunum were strongly positive for chymase and tryptase, whereas those in tongue and skin were essentially negative for both proteases [4]. Our results showed that the tumors were negative for keratin, Syn, and PCNA to differential diagnosis from carcinoid resulting from H. pylori infection in the stomach and the tumors were diagnosed as mast cell tumors. The incidence of spontaneous mast cell tumor is rare as only one case (1/387, 2.6%) has been reported [5]. The biological behavior of mast cell tumors depends on cell morphology and PCNA expression. Spindled and atypical mast cell features tend to correlate with more aggressive clinical outcome [6]. In addition, mast cell tumor was observed systemically in stomach, liver, spleen, lung, and brain of the animals (Fig. 1). It was difficult to determine accurately the primary site because of its function of extending and movement. The incidence of chronic gastritis, atrophic gastritis as well as intestinal metaplasia was significantly increased in H. pylori-infected group, and only slight gastritis was observed in the control group (data not shown). Although it is difficult to draw firm conclusions based on this limited set of data, these observations suggest a possible connection between H. pylori, pretreatment with 30% high salt, and the development of disseminated mast cell tumors. If the results are confirmed, the molecular effects of the pretreatment need to be characterized to begin to understand the pathogenesis.
