The progression to gastric cancer, one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, is driven by chronic inflammation and marked by a sequence of histologic changes. One of the earliest events in this oncogenic cascade involves the gradual loss of acidsecreting parietal cells and digestive enzyme-secreting chief cells from the gastric corpus, followed by the reprogramming of differentiated, postmitotic chief cells into a population of proliferative metaplastic cells. This process, termed spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM), normally represents a transient alteration in the glandular architecture to facilitate repair but can lead to a preneoplastic progression in the face of chronic injury. It is becoming increasingly clear that the gastric corpus, like other gastrointestinal organs, exhibits significant reparative capacity after acute or chronic injury, in part because of the cellular plasticity of glandular epithelial cells. This is perhaps best exemplified by the chief cell, a differentiated cell that can heed the call for repair by autodegrading its secretory machinery, re-expressing metaplastic markers, and re-entering the cell cycle. 1 However, the intracellular mechanisms by which this process unfolds warrant further investigation. How is chief cell reprogramming activated and modulated during injury? What chief cell–specific genes and pathways characterize the initiation and progression to SPEM?
