Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The relation of stem cells, microcirculatory system and autonomic nervous system to the formation and progress of the gastric MALT lymphoma has been investigated mainly from the viewpoint of substance P and angiogenesis. In the Helicobacter heilmannii-infected mouse model, substance P containing nerves and its receptors has been found to be richly distributed in the MALT lymphoma tissues, especially near the afferent arterioles, efferent venules and lymphocytes including the stem cells of the lymphoma. The effect of the substance P antagonists also support the significance of autonomic nerves in the regulation of MALT lymphoma. In the clinical cases, the similar distribution of the nerves and the receptors has been detected. In addition, the administration of axitinib, one of the multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitors, revealed the reciprocal regulation of vasohibin 2 and VEGF in the progress of the gastric MALT lymphoma.
