Overview

It is thought that linitis plastica is the result of abnormal molecular pathways that result in defective intracellular adhesions.

Pathophysiology

  • In diffuse type gastric cancer, the cells experience a loss of expression for cell adhesion protein E-cadherin.[1]
  • The E-cadherin gene (CDH1) codes for a transmembrane cellular adhesion protein that provides a tail that adheres to other cells.
  • The tail interacts with catenins in the neighbouring cell and forms a cell to cell complex.

Genetics

  • Linitis plastica is transmitted in an autosomal dominant pattern.[2][3][4]
  • Genes involved in the pathogenesis of linitis plastica include CDH1 gene, located on chromosome 16q22.1, which codes for the E-cadherin protein.
  • The development of linitis plastica is the result of germline truncating mutations spread over several exons.
  • Consequently, the second allele coding for E-cadherin is inactivated.
  • Mutations include:
    • Promoter hypermethylation
    • Loss of heterozygosity
    • Silencing mutation

Associated conditions

Susceptibility to diffuse gastric cancer may also be linked to inherited polymorphisms in the PSCA (prostate stem cell antigen) gene, which is possibly involved in regulating gastric epithelial cell proliferation.[5]
