Artificial Intelligence-assisted Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy Identification of Intestinal Metaplasia Severity

ABSTRACT: Currently, the Correa cascade is a widely accepted model of gastric carcinogenesis. Intestinal metaplasia is a high risk factor for gastric cancer. According to Sydney criteria, mild intestinal metaplasia was not associated with gastric cancer, while moderate to severe intestinal metaplasia was strongly associated with the development of gastric cancer. Because intestinal metaplasia is distributed in various forms, the use of white light endoscopy lacks specificity, and the consistency with histopathological diagnosis is poor; Pathological biopsy is still needed to make a diagnosis. At present, national guidelines suggest that OLGIM score should be used to evaluate the risk of gastric cancer, and patients with OLGIM grade III/IV should be monitored by close gastroscopy. However, it requires at least four biopsies, which is clinically infeasible. Confocal laser endomicroscopy allows real-time observation of living tissue, comparable to pathological findings.

Project description:Background: Intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a gastric precancerous lesion that precedes the development of gastric cancer in up to 3.77 cases/1000 person-years. It consists in a trans-differentiation process of gastric to intestinal tissue. Two histological subtypes exist, complete (CIM) and incomplete (IIM), the latter having higher progression rates to gastric cancer . Our objective was to identify molecular processes responsible for the tumoral transition from intestinal metaplasia to GC and the initial steps of this lesion Methods: We used expression microarray to compare the transcriptome of intestinal metaplasia subtypes that progress to gastric cancer (IIM-GC and CIM-GC) after a follow-up period with respect to those that do not progress (IIM control and CIM control). Also, IM-NoGC (IM control, comprising both IIM and CIM Control) was compared with healthy gastric mucosa. Differentially expressed genes were obtained and functional analyses (GSEA and IPA softwares) were performed. Some deregulated genes were validated by qPCR. Results: Histological subtypes of intestinal metaplasia that progress or not to GC differ less among them than to healthy mucosa. Incomplete intestinal metaplasia has a higher number of over-expressed carcinogenic genes and molecular processes than the complete subtype. Most relevant molecular processes and genes in this group include antigenic processing, inflammation, activation of cell cycle and cell proliferation, oncogenes and tumor suppressors. When IM-NoGC is compared with healthy gastric mucosa new identified transcripts include TRIM, TMEM, homeobox, transporters and nucleolar RNAs SNORDs116. We confirm previously reported processes such us intestinal differentiation, metabolism of lipids and of xenobiotics and identify new ones such as non tumoral Warburg effect and melatonin degradation. Conclusions: Differentially expressed genes and molecular processes have been identified for the first time in intestinal metaplasia that progress to gastric cancer. New genes and molecular processes have also been identified in intestinal metaplasia in comparison with healthy gastric mucosa.
