Gastric mucosal blood flow (GMBF) response and the recovery of gastric mucosal integrity were investigated in anesthetized rat stomachs after damage by monochloramine (NH2Cl), in comparison with 20 mM taurocholate Na (TC). A rat stomach was mounted in an ex-vivo chamber, and the mucosa was exposed to 50 mM HCl during a test period. Mucosal application of 20 mM TC for 10 min caused a marked reduction of transmucosal potential difference (PD), but the PD recovered rapidly without development of gross lesions 90 min later. In contrast, the exposure of the mucosa to NH2Cl (5 to approximately 20 mM) produced a concentration-dependent decrease in gastric PD, and the values remained lowered even 90 min after removal of the agent, resulting in severe hemorrhagic damage in the stomach. TC caused a considerable H+ back-diffusion, followed by an increase in the GMBF. In the mucosa damaged by NH2Cl, such GMBF responses were not observed, except for the temporal increase during the exposure, although similar degrees of H+ back-diffusion were observed following NH2Cl treatment. In addition, the prior exposure of the mucosa to NH2Cl significantly attenuated gastric hyperemic response induced by capsaicin but not by misoprostol (a PGE1 derivative) or NOR-3 (a NO donor). Chemical ablation of capsaicin-sensitive sensory neurons had no effect on the PD reduction caused by TC but totally attenuated the GMBF response, resulting in hemorrhagic damage in the stomach. These results suggest that NH2Cl delayed the recovery of the mucosal integrity in the stomach after damage, and this effect may be attributable, at least partly, to the impairment of gastric hyperemic response associated with H+ back-diffusion, probably due to dysfunction of capsaicin-sensitive sensory neurons.  相似文献

Occurrence of gastrointestinal damage and delayed healing of pre-existing ulcer are commonly observed in association with clinical use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). We examined the effects of NS-398, the cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 selective inhibitor, and nitric oxide (NO)- releasing aspirin (NCX-4016) on gastric mucosal ulcerogenic and healing responses in experimental animals, in comparison with those of nonselective COX inhibitors such as indomethacin and aspirin. Indomethacin and aspirin given orally were ulcerogenic by themselves in rat stomachs, while either NS-398 or NCX-4016 was not ulcerogenic at the doses which exert the equipotent antiinflammatory action with indomethacin or aspirin. Among these NSAIDs, only NCX-4016 showed a dose-dependent protection against gastric lesions induced by HCl/ethanol in rats. On the other hand, the healing of gastric ulcers induced in mice by thermal-cauterization was significantly delayed by repeated administration of these NSAIDs for more than 7 days, except NCX-4016. Gastric mucosal prostaglandin contents were reduced by indomethacin, aspirin and NCX-4016 in both normal and ulcerated mucosa, while NS-398 significantly decreased prostaglandin generation only in the ulcerated mucosa. Oral administration of NCX-4016 in pylorus-ligated rats and mice increased the levels of NO metabolites in the gastric contents. In addition, both NS-398 and NCX-4016 showed an equipotent anti-inflammatory effect against carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats as compared with indomethacin and aspirin. These results suggest that both indomethacin and aspirin are ulcerogenic by themselves and impair the healing of pre-existing gastric ulcers as well. The former action is due to inhibition of COX-1, while the latter effect may be accounted for by inhibition of COX-2 and mimicked by NS-398, the COX-2 selective NSAID. NCX-4016, despite inhibiting both COX-1 and COX-2, protects the stomach against damage and preserves the healing response of gastric ulcers, probably because of the beneficial action of NO.  相似文献

The major heat shock protein, HSP70, is known to be involved in cytoprotection against environmental stresses mediated by their function as a "molecular chaperone". Monochloramine (NH(2)Cl) is a potent cytotoxic oxidant generated by neutrophil-derived hypochlorous acid and Helicobacter pylori urease-induced ammonia. In this study, to evaluate the cytoprotective effect of HSP70 against NH(2)Cl-induced gastric mucosal cell injury, rat gastric mucosal cells (RGM-1) were stably transfected with pBK-CMV containing the human HSP70 gene (7018-RGM-1) or pBK-CMV alone (pBK-CMV-12) as control cells. These cells were treated with various concentrations of NH(2)Cl. Cell Viability was determined by MTT assay and the direct plasma membrane damage was analyzed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay. Apoptosis was determined by DNA fragmentation analysis. NH(2)Cl caused injury to pBK-CMV-12 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. NH(2)Cl-induced gastric cell injury was significantly diminished in HSP70 over-expressing cell line (7018-RGM-1) both necrosis and apoptosis compared to the control cell line (pBK-CMV-12) transfected with CMV vector alone. These result suggest that overexpression of HSP70 plays an important role in protecting gastric cells against NH(2)Cl-induced injury.  相似文献

Endogenous prostaglandins (PGs) play an important role in the cytoprotective and healing responses in the stomach, by altering various functions, i.e., an increase of the mucosal blood flow, yet the role of prostacyclin (PGI(2)) and its receptor (IP-receptor) in these responses remains unclarified. In the present study, we used IP-receptor knockout mice [IP (-/-)] and examined the importance of IP-receptors in gastric ulcerogenic, cytoprotective and healing responses in these animals. The studies included the ulcerogenic response to cold-restraint stress, the cytoprotective response to a mild irritant (20 mM taurocholate: TC) and capsaicin, and the healing response of chronic gastric ulcers induced by thermo-cauterization. We first checked the absence of IP-receptors by examining the effect of cicaprost (a PGI(2) agonist, topical mucosal application) on gastric mucosal blood flow and found that this agent increased the mucosal blood flow in wild-type [WT (+/+)] mice but not in IP (+/-) mice. Cold-restraint stress (4 h) induced gastric lesions in both groups of mice, but the severity of damage was significantly greater in IP (-/-) mice. Prior p.o. administration of both TC and capsaicin exhibited a marked cytoprotection against HCl/ethanol-induced gastric damage in WT (+/+) mice, both responses being significantly mitigated in the presence of indomethacin. The adaptive cytoprotection induced by TC was similarly observed in IP (-/-) mice, while the capsaicin protection was totally attenuated in the animals lacking IP receptors. On the other hand, the healing of gastric ulcers was significantly delayed by daily administration of indomethacin in WT (+/+) mice. However, this process was not altered in IP (-/-) mice. These results suggest that endogenous PGI(2) is involved in the gastric ulcerogenic response to stress, but not in the healing of pre-existing gastric ulcers. In addition, PGI(2) and its receptors may play a crucial role in capsaicin-induced gastric protection but not in the adaptive cytoprotection-induced by mild irritants.  相似文献

In an attempt to know the relation of seizure and gastric mucosal damage, we challenged arecoline (ACL) centrally to induce seizure and investigated gastric hemorrhagic injury in acid-irrigated stomachs of rats. The protective effects of several drugs also were evaluated. After deprivation of food for 24 h, rats were received laparotomy under diethylether-anesthesia. Both pylorus sphincters and carotid esophagus were ligated. The forestomach was equipped with a cannula for gastric irrigation. After recovery from anesthesia (approximately 1 h), the stomach was irrigated for 2 h with an acid solution containing 100 mM HCl and 54 mM NaCl or the same volume of normal saline. Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) ACL (0, 1, 3 or 10 mg/kg dissolved in 10 microl of CSF) was challenged to rats immediately after gastric irrigation. The seizure in rats was produced by ACL in a dose-related manner. The ulcerogenic parameters such as decrease of gastric mucosal glutathione levels and increase of histamine concentrations and lipid peroxide generations as well as the raise of luminal hemoglobin contents and exacerbated mucosal lesions were obtained depending on the doses of ACL challenged. These ulcerogenic parameters produced in ACL (10 mg/kg, i.c.v.) seizure rats were markedly ameliorated by gastric vagotomy or central anticholinergics. Intraperitoneal ketotifen, zinc sulfate, diphenhydramine or cimetidine also produced significant (p<0.05) inhibitions of these ulcerogenic parameters in ACL seizure rats. In conclusion, central ACL seizure may produce gastric oxidative stress and hemorrhagic lesions via vagal nervous activation and histamine release in acid-irrigated stomachs of rats.  相似文献

Our previous report demonstrates that severe gastric mucosal damage is produced in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-intoxicated rats. In the present study, we examined protective effects of several amino acids including taurine, phenylalanine and L-Arginine on gastric hemorrhagic erosions in acid-irrigated stomachs of LPS rats. The animals were deprived of food for 24 hr. Intravenous LPS (3 mg/kg) was challenged 12 hr after withdrawal of food. Gastric vagotomy was performed, followed by irrigation the stomachs for 3 hr with a physiological acid solution containing 100 mM HCl and 54 mM NaCl. The ulcerogenic parameters including increased gastric acid back-diffusion, mucosal histamine concentrations, lipid peroxide productions, luminal hemoglobin contents, stomach erosions and the lowered glutathione levels were markedly enhanced in LPS rat stomachs irrigated with acid solution. Both phenylalanine and taurine caused dose-dependent attenuations of these ulcerogenic parameters in LPS rats. L-arginine also was effective in inhibition. The inhibitory effect was restored by pretreatment of nitric oxide synthase inhibitors, such as N(G)-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester or L-N(G)-(1-iminoethyl)-lysine. Furthermore, marked amelioration of hemorrhagic erosions in LPS rats was observed when a combination of these amino acid nutrients was used. The results provide evidence that these amino acid nutrients may ameliorate gastric hemorrhagic erosion via GSH synthesis stimulation, histamine cell membrane stabilization and antioxidant actions in LPS rat stomachs.  相似文献

Background. The ammonia‐monochloramine system plays an important role in Helicobacter pylori‐associated gastric mucosal injury. Polaprezinc, a new antiulcer agent, has a scavenging action against monochloramine. The aim of the experiment was to investigate the inhibitory effects of polaprezinc on the H. pylori‐induced gastritis in Mongolian gerbils. Materials and Methods. Mongolian gerbils fasting for 24 hours were orally given culture broth containing 2–4 × 108 colony‐forming units of H. pylori ATCC 43054 per milliliter. From 4 hours after inoculation until the end of the experiment, gerbils were given chow pellets with or without 0.02% polaprezinc. All gerbils were killed 12 weeks later. The grades of H. pylori density and histologic features of gastritis were evaluated in accordance with the Updated Sydney System. The scavenging effect of polaprezinc on monochloramine was investigated spectrophotometrically. Results. Polaprezinc had little or no influence on the H. pylori density in both pyloric and fundic mucosae. However, it significantly attenuated the development of polymorphonuclear neutrophil activity, mononuclear infiltration, and surface epithelial erosion in both pyloric and fundic mucosae compared with those of the control group. H. pylori inoculation significantly increased the heights of both pyloric and fundic mucosae (mainly due to the increased height of foveolar hyperplasia), but polaprezinc inhibited the increase of mucosal thickness in both pyloric and fundic mucasae. No intestinal metaplasia was detected in this study. Spectrophotometric examination revealed that polaprezinc scavenged monochloramine. Conclusions. Polaprezinc inhibited the development of H. pylori‐induced gastritis through its scavenging action against monochloramine.  相似文献

We examined the effect of ellagic acid (EA), one of the polyphenols that are abundantly contained in whisky as a nonalcoholic component, on gastric lesions induced by ammonia plus ischemia or ischemia/reperfusion in rats, in relation to the antioxidative system. Under urethane anesthesia, a rat stomach was mounted in an ex vivo chamber, and the following two experiments were performed; 1) a stomach was made ischemic (1.5 ml/100 g body weight) for 20 min, followed by reperfusion for 15 min in the presence of 100 mM HCl; 2) a stomach was made ischemic by bleeding from the carotid artery (1 ml/100 g body weight), followed by intragastric application of ammonia (NH4OH: 120 mM). EA (0.1-10 mg/ml) was applied in the chamber 30 min before the onset of ischemia. Gastric potential difference (PD) and mucosal blood flow (GMBF) were measured before, during and after 20 min of ischemia. Ischemia/reperfusion caused a profound drop in GMBF followed by a return, and resulted in hemorrhagic lesions in the stomach in the presence of 100 mM HCI. These lesions were dose-dependently prevented by EA with suppression of lipid peroxidation but no effect on GMBF, and the effect at 6 mg/ml was almost equivalent to that of superoxide dismutase (SOD: 15000 unit/kg/hr) infused i.v. during a test-period. On the other hand, application of NH4OH to the ischemic stomach produced a marked reduction in PD, resulting in severe hemorrhagic lesions. These changes were prevented with both EA and SOD. In addition, EA had a potent scavenging action against monochloramine in vitro. These results suggest that EA exhibits gastric protective action against gastric lesions induced by NH4OH or reperfusion in the ischemic stomach, probably due to its anti-oxidative activity. This property of EA partly explains the less damaging effect of whisky in the stomach and may be useful as the prophylactic for Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis.  相似文献

Effects of glucocorticoid deficiency and corticosterone replacement on gastric mucosal injury induced by various ulcerogenic stimuli have been evaluated in rats. Gastric erosions were induced in male rats by stimuli of different modalities and intensities. Glucocorticoid deficiency was induced by adrenalectomy or delayed inhibitory action after a single pharmacological dose of cortisol (300 mg/kg, i.p.) injected one week before the onset of ulcerogenic stimulus. Ulcerogenic stimuli induced both a plasma corticosterone rise and a gastric mucosal injury. The area of mucosal damages induced various stimuli ranging from a small to extensive those. Glucocorticoid deficiency significantly potentiated an ulcerogenic action of each ulcerogenic stimulus. Replacement by corticosterone (4 mg/kg, s.c., 15 min before the onset of ulcerogenic stimulus) prevented or significantly decreased the erosion--potentiating effect of glucocorticoid deficiency. These results show that endogenous glucocorticoids released during ulcerogenic influences help gastric mucous membrane to resist against a harmful action of both weak and strong ulcerogenic stimuli.  相似文献

Stress- and ethanol-induced gastric mucosal damage are the two commonly used ulcer models in animals. They share some of the similarities but also have differences in the etiology of gastric ulceration. This article reviews the influences of various protective drugs on these two types of gastric damage in rats. Verapamil (a calcium antagonist) or N-ethylmaleimide (a sulfhydryl depletor) prevents cold restraint-, but potentiates ethanol-provoked gastric lesion formation. N-Acetylcysteine (a mucolytic agent) and acetaminophen (an antipyretic analgesic) have the opposite actions. Prostaglandins provide a much better antiulcer effect on ethanol-induced lesions. Cimetidine (a histamine H2-receptor antagonist) prevents only stress-induced mucosal damage. These differences in drug actions indicate that stress and ethanol may have dissimilar ulcerogenic mechanisms in rats. On the other hand, carbenoxolone (a mucus inducer), histamine H1-receptor antagonists, leukotriene inhibitors (FPL 55712 and nordihydroguaiaretic acid) and mast cell stabilizers (like zinc compounds, sodium cromoglycate, FPL 52694 and ketotifen), all protect against gastric mucosal damage by stress or ethanol in rats. However, the role of gastric sulfhydryls in both types of gastric lesions is still controversial. These findings imply that the two types of lesion formation share some of the ulcerogenic mechanisms. This communication attempts to analyze the various findings and to relate them to the etiology of stress and ethanol-induced gastric lesions. It also summarizes the uses, and the antiulcer mechanisms, of the drugs that have been studied utilizing these two animal ulcer models, and suggests their possible implications in man.  相似文献

The effects of glucocorticoid deficiency with or without corticosterone replacement on susceptibility to gastric mucosal injury by various ulcerogenic stimuli have been evaluated in rats. Gastric erosions were induced in male rats by stimuli of different modalities and intensities: 20% ethanol (po), aspirin (300 mg/kg, ip), acidified aspirin (40 mM, po) and 100% acetic acid (applied to gastric serosa). Glucocorticoid supply was decreased by adrenalectomy or by delayed inhibitory action after a single pharmacological dose of cortisol (300 mg/kg, ip) injected one week before the onset of ulcerogenic stimulus. Corticosterone for replacement (4 mg/kg, sc) was injected in rats with glucocorticoid deficiency 15 min before the onset of ulcerogenic stimulus. Plasma corticosterone levels were measured by fluorometry. Gastric erosions were quantitated by measuring the area of damage. Ulcerogenic stimuli induced both plasma corticosterone rise and gastric mucosal injury. The area of mucosal damages induced various stimuli ranged from small to extensive. Glucocorticoid deficiency significantly potentiated an ulcerogenic action of every ulcerogenic stimulus. Replacing corticosterone prevented or significantly decreased erosion-potentiating effect of glucocorticoid deficiency. These results show that endogenous glucocorticoids released during ulcerogenic influences help gastric mucosa to resist a harmful action of both weak and strong ulcerogenic stimuli.  相似文献

The gastric mucosa is frequently exposed to different exogenous and endogenous ulcerative agents. Alcoholism is one of the risk factors for the development of mucosal damage in the stomach. This study aimed to assess if a probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) is capable of protecting the gastric mucosa from acute damage induced by intragastric administration of ethanol. Pre-treatment of rats with LGG at 10(9) cfu/ml twice daily for three consecutive days markedly reduced ethanol-induced mucosal lesion area by 45%. LGG pre-treatment also significantly increased the basal mucosal prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) level. In addition, LGG attenuated the suppressive actions of ethanol on mucus-secreting layer and transmucosal resistance and reduced cellular apoptosis in the gastric mucosa. It is suggested that the protective action of LGG on ethanol-induced gastric mucosal lesions is likely attributed to the up-regulation of PGE(2), which could stimulate the mucus secretion and increase the transmucosal resistance in the gastric mucosa. All these would protect mucosal cells from apoptosis in the stomach.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of histamine in aggravation of gastric acid back-diffusion and vascular permeability in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic rats. Male specific pyrogen-free Wistar rats were deprived food for 24 h before the experiment. Intravenous LPS (3 mg/kg dissolved in sterilized saline) was given to rats 12 h after food removal. Control rats received sterilized saline only. Under diethylether-anesthesia, the pylorus and esophageal sphincters of rats were ligated. Vagotomy also was performed. The stomachs were then irrigated for 3 h with physiological acid solutions containing 0-150 mM HCl plus adequate amount of NaCl. Increases in various ulcerogenic parameters, such as gastric acid back-diffusion, mucosal histamine concentration, luminal hemoglobin (Hb) content and stomach ulcer, were dependent on the concentration of acid solutions irrigated in stomachs of those LPS rats. Gastric vascular permeability also was increased in an acid concentration-related manner. In those LPS rats, high correlation was found between extents of acid back-diffusion and mucosal ulceration. Increased vascular permeability also closely related to the luminal Hb content. Moreover, these ulcerogenic parameters were dose-dependently ameliorated by intraperitoneal ketotifen and ranitidine. Diamine oxidase also was effective in inhibition, but exogenous histamine on the contrary, produced exacerbation of these ulcerogenic parameters. In conclusion, histamine plays a pivotal role in modulating gastric acid back-diffusion and vascular permeability that are greatly associated with hemorrhagic ulcer in septic rats.  相似文献

The effect of taurine on gastric hemorrhage and mucosal erosion in the brain ischemia (BI) is unknown. The aim of the research was to study the involvement of gastric oxidative stress in hemorrhagic erosion produced in BI rats. The protective effect of taurine on this erosion model was evaluated. Male Wistar rats were deprived of food for 24 h. Under chloral hydrate -anesthesia, bilateral carotid artery ligation (BCAL) was performed 12, 18 and 21 h after removal of food to obtain 12, 6 and 3 h of BI duration. The pylorus and carotid esophagus of rats also were ligated. The stomachs were then irrigated for 3 h with normal saline or simulated gastric juice containing 100 mM HCl plus 17.4 mM pepsin and 54 mM NaCl. The stomach was dissected. Gastric samples were harvested. The rat brain was dissected for examination of ischemia by using triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining method. Changes in gastric ulcerogenic parameters, such as decreased mucosal GSH level as well as enhanced gastric acid back-diffusion, mucosal lipid peroxide generation, histamine concentration, luminal hemoglobin content and mucosal erosion in gastric samples were measured. The results indicated that BCAL could produce severe BI in rats. Moreover, a BI- duration-dependent exacerbation of various ulcerogenic parameters also was observed in these rats. Intraperitoneal taurine (0-300 mg/kg) dose-dependently ameliorated gastric oxidative stress and hemorrhagic erosion in BI rats. Taken together, BI could produce gastric oxidative stress and hemorrhagic erosions that was ameliorated by taurine through stimulation of GSH biosynthesis and inhibition of oxidative stress.  相似文献

Effects of glucocorticoid deficiency followed by corticosterone replacement on the healing of gastric erosions and chronic gastric ulcers have been investigated in rats. Glucocorticoid deficiency was induced by adrenalectomy performed after the formation of gastric erosions or ulcers. Gastric erosions were produced by indomethacin (35 mg/kg, i.p.) or by 6 h immobilization at temperature 8 degrees C, chronic gastric ulcers were induced by 60% acetic acid. All ulcerogenic stimuli caused an increase in corticosterone production. Adrenalectomy created corticosterone deficiency and delayed the healing of gastric erosions and chronic gastric ulcers. The effect of adrenalectomy was more evident in the indomethacin ulcerogenic model. Replacement by corticosterone prompted the healing of gastric erosions and ulcers in adrenalectomized animals. These data suggest a participation of endogenous glucocorticoids in a restoration of gastric mucosal integrity.  相似文献

We examined the roles of endogenous prostaglandins (PGs) and nitric oxide (NO) in the gastroduodenal ulcerogenic responses to hypothermic stress (28 approximately 30 degrees C) in anesthetized rats. Lowering body temperature provoked damage in the gastroduodenal mucosa, with an increase of gastric acid secretion and motility. These responses were completely abolished by bilateral vagotomy or atropine, while 16,16-dimethyl PGE2 decreased the mucosal ulcerogenic response with no effect on acid secretion. The non-selective COX inhibitors, indomethacin or aspirin, worsened these lesions with enhancement of gastric motility and no effect on acid secretion, while the selective COX-2 inhibitor NS-398 did not affect any of these responses. On the other hand, the non-selective NOS inhibitor L-NAME but not aminoguanidine (a relatively selective inhibitor of iNOS), significantly potentiated the acid secretory and mucosal ulcerogenic responses in the stomach but reduced the duodenal damage in response to hypothermia, the effects being antagonized by co-administration of L-arginine. Hypothermia itself decreased duodenal HCO3- secretion under both basal and mucosal acidification-stimulated conditions. Both indomethacin and aspirin further decreased the HCO3- response to the mucosal acidification, while L-NAME significantly increased the HCO3- secretion even under hypothermic conditions, similar to 16,16-dimethyl PGE2. These results suggest that 1) hypothermic stress caused an increase of acid secretion and motility as well as a decrease of duodenal HCO3-secretion, resulting in damage in both the stomach and duodenum, 2) the COX-1 but not COX-2 inhibition worsened these lesions by enhancing gastric motility and further decreasing duodenal HCO3- response, 3) the cNOS but not iNOS inhibition worsened gastric lesions by increasing acid secretion but decreased duodenal damage by increasing HCO3- secretion. Thus, it is assumed that the gastroduodenal ulcerogenic and functional responses to hypothermic stress are modified by cNOS/NO as well as COX-1/PGs.  相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) plays a role in regulating the mucosal integrity of the stomach. However, its part in the mucosal defense of the inflamed stomach remains unclear. In the present study, we examined the effects of various NO synthase (NOS) inhibitors on gastric ulcerogenic and acid secretory responses following daily exposure of the stomach to iodoacetamide and investigated the role of each NOS isozyme in gastric protection from subchronic mucosal irritation. Gastric mucosal irritation was induced in rats by addition of 0.1% iodoacetamide to drinking water, and the gastric mucosa was examined on the 6th day. L-NAME (a nonselective NOS inhibitor: 20 mg/kg) or aminoguanidine (a selective iNOS inhibitor: 20 mg/kg) was given s.c. twice 24 h and 3 h before the termination of iodoacetamide treatment. Giving iodoacetamide in drinking water for 5 days produced minimal damage in the stomach with an increase in myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and lipid peroxidation. Iodoacetamide treatment up-regulated the expression of iNOS mRNA and NO production in the stomach, without affecting nNOS expression. Both L-NAME and aminoguanidine markedly aggravated gastric lesions induced by iodoacetamide treatment, with a further enhancement in MPO activity and lipid peroxidation. Basal acid secretion as determined in pylorous-ligated stomachs was decreased following iodoacetamide treatment, but the response was significantly restored by both L-NAME and aminoguanidine. These results suggest that endogenous NO derived from both cNOS and iNOS is involved in mucosal defense of the inflamed stomach, partly by decreasing acid secretion, and contributes to maintaining mucosal integrity under such conditions.  相似文献

Afferent neuron-mediated gastric mucosal protection has been suggested to result from the local release of vasodilator peptides such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) from afferent nerve endings within the stomach. The present study, therefore, examined whether rat alpha-CGRP, administered via different routes, is able to protect against mucosal injury induced by gastric perfusion with 25% ethanol or acidified aspirin (25 mM, pH 1.5) in urethane-anesthetized rats. Close arterial infusion of CGRP (15 pmol/min) to the stomach, via a catheter placed in the abdominal aorta proximal to the celiac artery, significantly reduced gross mucosal damage caused by ethanol and aspirin whereas mean arterial blood pressure (BP) was not altered. Intravenous infusion of CGRP (50 pmol/min) did not affect aspirin-induced mucosal injury but significantly enhanced ethanol-induced lesion formation. Intravenous CGRP (50 pmol/min) also lowered BP and increased the gastric clearance of [14C]aminopyrine, an indirect measure of gastric mucosal blood flow while basal gastric output of acid and bicarbonate was not altered. Intragastric administration of CGRP (260 nM) significantly inhibited aspirin-induced mucosal damage but did not influence damage in response to ethanol. BP, gastric clearance of [14C]aminopyrine, and gastric output of acid and bicarbonate remained unaltered by intragastric CGRP. These data indicate that only close arterial administration of CGRP to the rat stomach, at doses devoid of a systemic hypotensive effect, is able to protect against both ethanol- and aspirin-induced mucosal damage. As this route of administration closely resembles local release of the peptide in the stomach, CGRP may be considered as a candidate mediator of afferent nerve-induced gastric mucosal protection.  相似文献

The aim of the present study consisted of the investigation of glucocorticoid role in the formation and the healing of indomethacin-induced (25 mg/kg, s.c.) gastric erosions in rats. The effect of deficiency of glucocorticoid production followed by corticosterone replacement on the formation and the healing of the gastric erosions was evaluated. Glucocorticoid production was decreased by adrenalectomy or by delayed inhibitory action after a single pharmacological dose of cortisol (300 mg/kg i.p.) injected 1 week before the onset of ulcerogenic stimulus. Indomethacin induced corticosterone rise and caused gastric erosions. The loss of indomethacin-induced plasma corticosterone rise potentiated the formation of indomethacin-induced erosions in both models. The area of gastric erosions in rats with glucocorticoid deficiency was considerably larger than that in control animals 4 h after indomethacin administration as well as during 48 h after the drug administration (period of erosion healing). Injecting corticosterone in rats with glucocorticoid deficiency significantly decreased the formation of indomethacin-induced gastric erosions and promoted their healing. Thus, the present data support the gastroprotective action of glucocorticoids in the formation and in the healing of indomethacin-induced mucosal injury.  相似文献
