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
  • 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 activates cholecystokinin CCK2 receptor and somatostatin-secreting D cells.[9][10]
  • Acid secretion stimulates by histamine release, gastrin release, and acetyl choline release.[11].
  • Acid secretion inhibits by somatostatin secretion from oxyntic glands and antral D cells.

Pathogenesis

  • Embryologic endoderm produces enteroendocrine cells and these cells are consider as origin of gastrinomas.[12]
  • Symptoms of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is related to hypergastrinemia.[13]
  • Hypertrophy of gastrin mucosa results in hypergastrinemia.
  • Gastric acid secretion increase four to six four to six-fold.
  • Hypergastrinemia results from increase activity of parietal cells and histamine-secreting enterochromaffin-like cells.
  • Gastric acid secretion overrides the mucosal defense of the gastric and duodenal wall which may cause ulceration and inactivation of pancreatic enzymes.
  • The majority of patients have large and multiple peptic ulcers located in distal duodenum and proximal jejunum.[14]
  • Inactivation of pancreatic enzymes lead to fat malabsorption and diarrhea.[15]
