IL-6, TNFα and RANKL expression were increased in the hypertrophic gastric mucosa of PDP patients. P1, patient1; P4, patient4; P6, patient6; C, normal control. a–d, e–h and i–l showed immunohistochemistry staining of IL-6, TNFα and RANKL respectively. IL-6, TNFα and RANKL expression were stronger in hypertrophic gastric mucosa of PDP patients (P1 a,e,i, P4 b,f,j, P6 c,g,k) than that of healthy control (C d,h,l). IL-6, TNFα and RANKL expression were strongest in patient1 and gradually decreased in patient4 and patient6. Immunostained specimens were assessed by pathologists blinding to clinical features.
