Expression levels of A disintegrin and metalloproteases (ADAMs) (10 and 17) and Th17-related cytokines [interleukin (IL) 17A, IL-17F, IL-33, IL-23, IL-23R] were investigated by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction in gastric biopsies of patients with different gastroduodenal pathologies in the presence and absence of Helicobacter pylori infection. Patients with gastric cancer (GC) (n = 70, intestinal-type 38 and diffuse type 32), peptic ulcer disease [n = 50, duodenal ulcer (DU) 16 and gastric ulcer (GU) 34] and functional dyspepsia (n = 120) were included in the study. Further, the expression levels of ADAMs and Th17 cytokines were correlated with H. pylori cytotoxin-associated genes pathogenicity island (cagPAI) status. Expression levels of ADAMs (10 and 17) and Th17-related cytokines (IL-17A, IL-23, IL-23R) were significantly higher in H. pylori-positive than in H. pylori-negative gastric biopsies. Significant increase in ADAM17 and Th17 cytokines (IL-17A and IL-23) expressions was observed in patients with GU and intestinal-type GC in the presence of H. pylori infection and in strains harbouring intact cagPAI. Expression levels of IL-17A, IL-23 and ADAM17 were strongly correlated with GU and intestinal-type GC and weakly with DU and diffuse-type GC in the presence of H. pylori infection. Higher expression levels of ADAM17 and Th17 cytokines (IL-17A and IL-23), and their strong correlation with GU and intestinal-type GC patients in the presence of H. pylori and its intact cagPAI status, suggest a possible role of strain specificity in the pathogenesis of these diseases.
