Immunohistochemical Differentiation between Western and East Asian Types of CagA-Positive Helicobacter pylori in Gastric Biopsy Samples

Background. Cag A-positive Helicobacter pylori isolated from human gastric mucosa is categorized as a Western or East Asian allele-type based on whether the cagA gene encodes an EPIYA-C or EPIYA-D motif. We aimed to differentiate between the 2 types of H. pylori by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using f...

description Background. Cag A-positive Helicobacter pylori isolated from human gastric mucosa is categorized as a Western or East Asian allele-type based on whether the cagA gene encodes an EPIYA-C or EPIYA-D motif. We aimed to differentiate between the 2 types of H. pylori by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) gastric biopsy samples. Materials and Methods. We developed 2 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that detect either the EPIYA-C or EPIYA-D motif of the H. pylori CagA protein by IHC using FFPE tissues. FFPE tissue sections from 30 Japanese and 39 Brazilian gastric biopsy samples with H. pylori infection confirmed by Giemsa staining (moderate/severe in the Sydney classification system) were examined by IHC with the novel mAbs followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for EPIYA-C or EPIYA-D using DNA extracted from adjacent tissue sections. Results. Differentiation among Western and East Asian types and CagA-negative H. pylori was successful in most (97%) samples by IHC with the novel mAbs and commercially available mAbs that react with a species-specific lipopolysaccharide or a common CagA motif of H. pylori. The detection status of EPIYA-C/D motifs by IHC with the novel mAbs was consistent with the PCR results in 61 (88%) of 69 samples: EPIYA-C(+)/D(−) in zero Japanese and 26 Brazilian samples, EPIYA-C(−)/D(+) in 26 Japanese and 1 Brazilian sample, and EPIYA-C(−)/D(−) in 1 Japanese and 7 Brazilian samples. The detection sensitivity and specificity of IHC with each novel mAb compared with the PCR results were, respectively, 84% and 97% for EPIYA-C, and 97% and 95% for EPIYA-D. Conclusions. The novel mAbs specific to each EPIYA-C or EPIYA-D motif differentiated between Western and East Asian types of CagA-positive H. pylori by IHC using FFPE tissues. Applying these novel mAbs to large numbers of archived pathology samples will contribute to elucidating the association of these allele types with gastric cancer.
