Overview
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome results from increased levels of gastrin due to an existing gastrinoma in the duodenum or pancreas.
Physiology
- Chemotransmitters which are delivered to gastric mucosa have the main role for stimulation and inhibition of acid and pepsin production.[1]
- Gastric acid is responsible for protein digestion, absorption of calcium, iron, vitamin B12, thyroid hormones and some drugs ( itraconazole and ketoconazole).[2]
- Gastric acid is responsible for lowering gastric PH.
- Acidic PH kills many microorganisms, reduces bacterial growth, prevents intestinal infection and bacterial peritonitis.[3][4]
- Acid secretion has 3 phases:[5]
- Cephalic
- Mediated by vagal stimulation during thinking, smelling, seeing, and smeeling food.
- Gastric
- The major mediator for acid secretion due to stomach distension and chemical effects related to the food.
- Intestinal
- Small mediator for acid secretion due to chemical effects of food
- Cephalic
- Acid secretion mediated by some pathways:[6][7]
- Parietal cells
- Contains the hydrogen-potassium-ATPase acid-secreting pump which controls acid secretion
- Gastrin[8]
- Major endocrine involves in acidic secretion
- Gastrin-expressing cells (G cells) are located in antrum and responsible for gastrin secretion
- Gastrin stimulates gastrin secretion from parietal cells by histamin release from enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells.
- Gastrin receptors
- Parietal cells
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a disorder where the production of increased levels of gastrin causes the stomach to release excess amounts of hydrochloric acid. Gastrin then results in an excessive production of acid which often may lead to peptic ulcers (in almost 95% of patients).[9]
- Increased basal gastric acid output and hyperplasia of the fundic parietal cells occur as a result of excessive amounts of gastrin that secreted by the gastrinoma tumor cells. The excessive gastric acid output overrides the mucosal defense of the gastric and duodenal wall thereby causing ulceration, and inactivation of pancreatic digestive enzymes which therefore results in fat malabsorption and diarrhea. Secretory nature of diarrhea is a result of the inhibition of absorption of sodium and water by the small intestine. [10]
- The pathophysiology of ZES is the stimulatory action of gastrin on the parietal cells of the gastric antrum resulting in hyper-secretory acid milieu. [11]
- Majority of patients with ZES also develop peptic ulcers which are large and multiple in number, usually in the distal duodenum and proximal jejunum (which usually would be an uncommon location for ulcers arising due to Helicobacter pylori or by the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). [11]
Genetics
- The primary causative lesion is assumed to develop sporadically in approximately 80% of the cases and in the rest of the recorded cases, this entity exists as a part of MEN-1; an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by tumors of the pituitary, the parathyroid, and the pancreas. [12]
- ZES occurs in 20–30% of patients as part of the Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia-type 1 syndrome (MEN1 which is an autosomal dominant disorder as a result of mutations in an 10-exon gene at chromosome 11q13. [13]
Associated Conditions
Gross Pathology
- Gross pathology presents as enlarged fundic mucosal folds with cerebriform pattern.
Microscopic Pathology
- A well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (NET) histologically typically shows an organ like arrangement of cells with nesting, trabecular, or gyriform patterns. [14]
- The tumor cells are usually round with regular bland nuclei which produce large number of secretory granules with diffuse immunoexpression of neuroendocrine markers where as, the poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (NET) shows a atypical, sheet-like, diffuse and irregular nuclei, less cytoplasmic secretory granules, and limited biomarker immunoexpression. [14]
- Immunostaining for chromogranin A and synaptophysin is an important step in the diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors. In order to differentiate from other neuroendocrine tumors gastrin immunostaining may be used. somatostatin scintigraphy is considered an effective localizing tool as gastrinomas tend to express a high density of somatostatin receptors. [14]
