Abstract
Background There is increasing evidence for specific cellular changes in the stomach of patients with diabetic ( DG ) and idiopathic ( IG ) gastroparesis. The most significant findings are loss of interstitial cells of Cajal ( ICC ), neuronal abnormalities, and an immune cellular infiltrate. Studies done in diabetic mice have shown a cytoprotective effect of CD 206+ M2 macrophages. To quantify overall immune cellular infiltrate, identify macrophage populations, and quantify CD 206+ and i NOS + cells. To investigate associations between cellular phenotypes and ICC . Methods Full thickness gastric body biopsies were obtained from non‐diabetic controls (C), diabetic controls ( DC ), DG , and IG patients. Sections were labeled for CD 45, CD 206, Kit, i NOS , and putative human macrophage markers ( HAM 56, CD 68, and EMR 1). Immunoreactive cells were quantified from the circular muscle layer. Key Results Significantly fewer ICC were detected in DG and IG tissues, but there were no differences in the numbers of cells immunoreactive for other markers between patient groups. There was a significant correlation between the number of CD 206+ cells and ICC in DG and DC patients, but not in C and IG and a significant correlation between i NOS + cells and ICC in the DC group, but not the other groups. CD 68 and HAM 56 reliably labeled the same cell populations, but EMR 1 labeled other cell types. Conclusions & Inferences Depletion of ICC and correlation with changes in CD 206+ cell numbers in DC and DG patients suggests that in humans, like mice, CD 206+ macrophages may play a cytoprotective role in diabetes. These findings may lead to novel therapeutic options, targeting alternatively activated macrophages. Loss of interstitial cells of Cajal and an immune cell infiltrate have been identified in the gastric smooth muscle of patients with gastroparesis. This study reports a correlation between ICC numbers and CD206‐positive, alternatively activated M2 macrophage numbers in the gastric body of patients with diabetes (Panels B, D), but not in non‐diabetic controls (A) or idiopathic gastroparesis (C). Thus, CD206‐positive macrophages may play a cytoprotective role in the stomach of diabetic patients.Publisher
