The aim of this study was to evaluate de immunoexpression of ezrin in gastric cells of domestic cats infected with Helicobacter spp. and with chronic gastritis. Twenty paraffin-embedded gastric samples were selected based on previous positive results for Helicobacter spp. in the Rapid Urease Test, Warthin-Starry staining and cytology. Haematoxylin-eosin stained sections was done to evaluate inflammatory cell infiltrates. Immunohistochemical analysis was done using anti-Helicobacter pylori and anti-Ezrin antibodies. The analysis of inflammatory infiltrates revealed 8/20 (40%) in score 0, 11/20 (55%) in score 1 and 1/20 (5%) in score 2. The labelling observed in the immunohistochemical analysis using anti-Helicobacter spp. antibody showed no samples with score 0; 4/20 (20%) with score 1; 7/20 35% with score 2 and 9/20 (45%) with score 3. Ezrin overexpression on the cytoplasm of parietal cells was revealed in 18 out of 20 samples (90%). Of these, 10 cases (45%) achieved the score 1; 6 cases (30%) the score 2 and 2 cases (10%) the score 3. On the surface and pit cells there was an increase in Ezrin immnoexpression in 12 out of the 20 samples (60%), of which 8 samples (40%) achieved the score 1 and 4 samples (20%) the score 2. No sample were classified in score 3. Statistically significant differences (p = 0.026) were observed between the inflammatory infiltrate in the gastric mucosa and the immunoexpression of Ezrin in the cytoplasm of parietal cells. It was concluded that ezrin had an increased immunoexpression in the gastric mucosa of cats with chronic gastritis. |
