Recently we demonstrated the presence of aromatase (P450(arom)), estrogen synthetase, and the active production of estrogen in parietal cells of the rat stomach. We therefore investigated the steroidogenic pathways of estrogen and also other steroid metabolites in the gastric mucosa of male rats, by showing the mRNA expression of steroidogenic enzymes using RT-PCR and in situ hybridization histochemistry, and by measuring the blood concentration of steroids in the artery and the portal vein. RT-PCR analysis showed the strong mRNA expression of 17alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (P450(17alpha)), 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD) type III and P450(arom), and the weak mRNA expression of 17beta-HSD type II, 5alpha-reductase type I and 3alpha-HSD. The other mRNAs of steroidogenic enzymes examined were not detected. In situ hybridization histochemistry demonstrated the localization of mRNAs for P450(17alpha), 17beta-HSD type III and P450(arom) in the parietal cells. Higher levels of progesterone and testosterone were found in the artery compared with the portal vein. Higher amounts of estrone and 17beta-estradiol, by contrast, were present in the portal vein compared with the artery. These results indicate that parietal cells of rat stomach convert circulating progesterone and/through androstenedione and testosterone to synthesize both estrone and 17beta-estradiol, which then enter the liver via the portal vein.  相似文献

Gastric pathology is a common complication in diabetes mellitus. The aim of the study was to evaluate the functions and morphological changes of the parietal cells of the rat stomach after streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Diabetes mellitus was induced in Wistar rats by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg body weight). The rats were weighed weekly and sacrificed after 6 months. The glandular portion of the stomach was removed and processed for H+-K+-ATPase immunohistochemistry and light and electron microscopy studies. Acid secretion was measured in vivo. After 6 months of diabetes, the mean weight of the rats was significantly lower (P < 0.001) compared to control. The mean weight of the stomach to body weight percentage increased significantly (P < 0.001) compared to control. The blood glucose level in diabetic rats was significantly higher (P < 0.001) than in normal control. Diabetic rats showed significant (P < 0.001) decrease in basal and stimulated acid secretion when compared to control. Electron micrographs of the parietal cells of glandular stomach of diabetic rats revealed significant (P < 0.0002) reduction in the number of mitochondria and a small though not significant increase in the number of canaliculi in the parietal cells compared with normal. Immunohistochemistry showed reduced H+-K+-ATPase (P < 0.00001) compared to control. Long-term diabetes induces morphological as well as functional changes in gastric parietal cells. The decrease in the number of mitochondria accompanied by reduced in H+-K+-ATPase in parietal cells may explain the reduced acid secretion observed in diabetics.  相似文献

The KCNQ1 channel is abundantly expressed in the gastric parietal cells. Although the functional coupling of KCNQ1 with the H+/K+-ATPase has already been confirmed on the basis of pharmacological kinetics, the effect of a KCNQ1 loss-of-function mutation on gastric acidification remains unclear. In this study, parietal cells and gastric glands from both C57BL/6 J mice (normal control) and J343 mice (mice with a KCNQ1 loss-of-function mutation) were isolated to study the effects of KCNQ1 on gastric acidification. We found that the mutation limited intracellular acidification of parietal cells and H+ secretion of the stomach in response to histamine. Thus, a KCNQ1 loss-of-function mutation may impair gastric acid secretion.  相似文献

Whereas the remodeling of intestinal mucosa after bariatric surgeries has been the matter of numerous studies to our knowledge, very few reported on the remodeling of the residual gastric mucosa. In this study, we analyzed remodeling of gastric mucosa after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) in rats. Diet-induced obese rats were subjected to RYGB, VSG or sham surgical procedures. All animals were assessed for food intake, body-weight, fasting blood, metabolites and hormones profiling, as well as insulin and glucose tolerance tests before and up to 5 weeks post-surgery. Remodeling of gastric tissues was analyzed by routine histology and immunohistochemistry studies, and qRT-PCR analyses of ghrelin and gastrin mRNA levels. In obese rats with impaired glucose tolerance, VSG and RYGB caused substantial weight loss and rats greatly improved their oral glucose tolerance. The remaining gastric mucosa after VSG and gastric pouch (GP) after RYGB revealed a hyperplasia of the mucous neck cells that displayed a strong immunoreactivity for parietal cell H+/K+-ATPase. Ghrelin mRNA levels were reduced by 2-fold in remaining fundic mucosa after VSG and 10-fold in GP after RYGB. In the antrum, gastrin mRNA levels were reduced after VSG in line with the reduced number of gastrin positive cells. This study reports novel and important observations dealing with the remaining gastric mucosa after RYGB and VSG. The data demonstrate, for the first time, a hyperplasia of the mucous neck cells, a transit cell population of the stomach bearing differentiating capacities into zymogenic and peptic cells.  相似文献

Ghrelin, a nature ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R), stimulates a release of growth hormone, prolactin and adrenocorticotropic hormone. Also, ghrelin increases food intake in adult rats and humans and exhibits gastroprotective effect against experimental ulcers induced by ethanol or stress. The aim of present study was to examine the influence of ghrelin administration on gastric and duodenal growth and expression of pepsin and enterokinase in young mature rats with intact or removed pituitary. METHODS: Two week after sham operation or hypophysectomy, eight week old Wistar male rats were treated with saline (control) or ghrelin (4, 8 or 16 nmol/kg/dose) i.p. twice a day for 4 days. Expression of pepsin in the stomach and enterokinase in the duodenum was evaluated by real-time PCR. RESULTS: In animals with intact pituitary, treatment with ghrelin increased food intake, body weight gain and serum level of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). These effects were accompanied with stimulation of gastric and duodenal growth. It was recognized as the significant increase in gastric and duodenal weight and mucosal DNA synthesis. In both organs, ghrelin administered at the dose of 8 nmol/kg caused maximal growth-promoting effect. In contrast to these growth-promoting effects, administration of ghrelin reduced expression of mRNA for pepsin in the stomach and was without effect on expression of mRNA for enterokinase in the duodenum. Hypophysectomy alone lowered serum concentration of growth hormone under the detection limit and reduced serum level of IGF-1 by 90%. These effects were associated with reduction in daily food intake, body weight gain and gastroduodenal growth. In hypophysectomized rats, administration of ghrelin was without significant effect on food intake, body weight gain or growth of gastroduodenal mucosa. Also, serum concentration of growth hormone or IGF-1 was not affected by ghrelin administration in rats with removed pituitary. CONCLUSION: Administration of ghrelin stimulates gastric and duodenal growth in young mature rats with intact pituitary, but inhibits expression of mRNA for pepsin in the stomach. Growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 play an essential role in growth-promoting effects of ghrelin in the stomach and duodenum.  相似文献

Fate and proliferation of gastric mucosal cells during hyperplasia of Taenia taeniaeformis eggs inoculated Wistar rats were investigated using PCNA immunohistochemistry, BrdU labeling and other histopathologic staining techniques. Results revealed marked cell proliferation in gastric corpus and antral mucosa of infected rats as evidenced by increased lengths of proliferative zones and indices of BrdU labeling. The gastropathy in corpus was characterized by massive accumulation of precursors, neck and intermediate cells following significant decreases in numbers of parietal and zymogenic cells. Gastropathy in antrum was described with significant increases in precursors and mucous cells. Our results suggested that T. taeniaeformis-induced gastric hyperplasia was initiated by depletion of parietal cells presumably due to the cestode's ES products. As a result, there was inhibition of zymogenic cell differentiation due to the disruption of normal development pathways of gastric mucosal lineages. These sequences of events were considered to cause the increase in cell proliferation and accumulation of intermediate cells resulting to the hyperplastic lesions.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of intragastrically given pectin-induced physicochemical properties and actions on active gastric acid secretion and on the development of ethanol- and aspirin-induced gastric mucosal lesions. The observations were carried out on CFY-strain rats, fasted for 24 h before the experiments with water ad libitum. The observations were carried out in two experimental series. A) The gastric mucosal lesions were produced by intragastrically given 96% ethanol or aspirin prepared with 0.2 M HCl. Different doses of pectin (100, 50 and 25 mg.kg–1, respectively) were administered intragastrically 30 min before giving necrotizing agents. The number of gastric lesions was noted 1 h after the administration, while the severity of gastric mucosal lesions was scored by semi-quantitative scale. B) The effects of pectin were studied on the volume and H+ secretion of the stomach in 4-h pylorus-ligated rats. It has been found that: 1) the gastric mucosal lesions could be produced in 100% of rats by the application of both necrotizing agents. 2) Pectin in doses of 50–100 mg.kg–1 increased the number of gastric mucosal lesions in both models, while no increase was produced by the application of 25-mg.kg–1 dose. 3) The severity of mucosal lesions increased significantly after the administration of all doses of pectin. 4) The pectin-induced increase of gastric lesions (number) showed a dose-response effect. 5) The pectin produced a significant increase in the volume of gastric secretion and gastric H+ secretion. It has been concluded that: a) pectin-induced physicochemical changes are able to enhance the aggression to gastric mucosa produced by ethanol and aspirin; b) a positive correlation exists between the linkage of H+ to pectin and significant active metabolic response in the rat stomach; c) pectin alone stimulates the active metabolic process of the gastric H+ secretion.  相似文献

Recently we have identified a dopamine-producing system in the gastric mucosa of rats. All the available morphological data suggest that parietal cells synthesize dopamine. In the present study we investigated the dopaminergic characteristics of isolated parietal cells by different methods. Mixed gastric mucosal cells were isolated and size-fractionated by elutriation. The proportion of neurons, parietal and endocrine cells in the fractions were determined by immunocytochemistry (ICC) using antibodies to neurofilament, proton pump and chromogranin A, respectively. No neurons were found in any of the cell preparations, while 56% parietal cell and 0.0% endocrine cell were achieved in the parietally enriched fraction. By Western blot, a tyrosine hydroxylase (TH, the rate-limiting enzyme of the catecholamine synthesis) immunoreactive protein species was demonstrated in isolated mucosal cells, comigrating with the TH immunoreactivity from PC12 cells. The TH immunoreactivity was colocalized to parietal cells by ICC. Dopamine transporter (DAT), a regulator of extracellular/intracellular dopamine balance in the nervous system, was also demonstrated in parietal cells. A significant amount of dopamine and DOPA were measured by HPLC (13.4 and 9.57 pg/106 cell, respectively) in parietally enriched cell fraction. Since this enriched cell fraction was virtually clear of both neurons and endocrine cells, demonstration of TH enzyme, DAT and dopamine in this fraction confirms that the parietal cell population might be a major source of dopamine in the rat stomach, supporting our previous results achieved using whole tissue samples.  相似文献

Although accumulating evidence has shown crucial roles of ghrelin and insulin in food intake and energy metabolism, the exact relationship between these hormones remains unclear. In this study, we determined the in vivo effect of ghrelin on insulin secretion. We demonstrated that ghrelin inhibited the glucose-stimulated release of insulin when infused into the portal vein of Wistar rats. However, ghrelin infusion into the femoral vein did not induce such an inhibitory effect. Hepatic vagotomy or coinfusion with atropine methyl bromide diminished the inhibitory effect of ghrelin on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. In conclusion, ghrelin exerts an inhibitory effect on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion via the hepatic portal system and the vagus nerve. The decrease in ghrelin level after a meal is important for the occurrence of the incretin effect in rats.  相似文献

We studied histochemical and ultrastructural characteristics of the gastric submucosal blood vessels in portal hypertensive (PHT) rats. PHT was induced by two-stage ligation of the portal vein. Control rats were sham operated (SO). On the fifth day after surgery portal vein blood pressure was measured and rats were killed under nembutal anesthaesia. Gastric specimens were obtained for histological, histochemical and ultrastructural assessment. PHT rats showed thickening and increased cellularity of submucosal vessels including increase in number and size of endothelial cells. All these mesenchymal cells were vimentin-positive. Thickening of vascular wall in submucosal vessels was also observed ultrastructurally together with prominent elaboration of luminal surface of endothelial cells. These changes were not observed in SO rats. All changes in PHT rats reflect vasculopathic involvement of gastric wall in portal hypertension.  相似文献

Simvastatin rapidly induced cataracts in young Chbb:Thom (CT) but not Sprague Dawley (SD) or Hilltop Wistar (HW) rats. Oral treatment for 14 but not 7 days committed CT rat lenses to cataract formation. The cholesterol to phospholipid molar ratio in lenses of treated CT rats was unchanged. Differences between strains in serum and ocular humor levels of simvastatin acid poorly correlated with susceptibility to cataracts. No significant differences were found between rat strains in the capacity of simvastatin acid to inhibit lens-basal sterol synthesis. Prolonged treatment with simvastatin comparably elevated HMG-CoA reductase protein and enzyme activity in lenses of both cataract resistant and sensitive strains. However, in contrast to SD and HW rats, where sterol synthesis was markedly increased, sterol synthesis in CT rat lenses remained at baseline. Discordant expression of sterol synthesis in CT rats may be due to inadequate upregulation of lens HMG-CoA synthase. HMG-CoA synthase protein levels, and to a much lesser extent mRNA levels, increased in lens cortex of SD but not CT rats. Because upregulation of the sterol pathway may result in increased formation of isoprene-derived anti-inflammatory substances, failure to upregulate the pathway in CT rat lenses may reflect an attenuated compensatory response to injury that resulted in cataracts.  相似文献

Summary The growth-promoting effect of caerulein on antral gastric mucosa was explored using Wistar rats. Implanted osmotic minipumps were used to administer submaximal doses of either caerulein or saline to normal rats for up to 4 days. In one group, reflux of bile and pancreatic juice into the stomach was avoided by previous surgical diversion of the distal common bile duct to the jejunum. DNA synthetic and mitotic activity in the antrum epithelium were estimated by 3H-thymidine pulse labelling and autoradiography during the administration of the peptide. The rate of cell migration was determined in animals killed 1, 2 and 3 days after the 3H-thymidine pulse. Administration of caerulein to normal rats provoked significant increases in both labelling and mitotic indices, and a significant acceleration of the upward cell migration in the glandular tubes. In the animals with distal diversion of bile and pancreatic secretions both labelling and mitotic indices were also increased over control values under the effect of the peptide. These data indicate that administration of caerulein stimulates cell proliferation in the antral gastric mucosa. This effect cannot be explained through increased reflux of pancreaticobiliary secretions in the stomach.  相似文献

WE have reported1 studies on luteinized rat ovary in which we found that an approximate doubling of the rate of steroid synthesis following stimulation with luteinizing hormone was not associated with any change in the tissue NADPH/NADP+ concentration ratio. We concluded that it was unlikely that luteinizing hormone brought about the increase in steroid synthesis solely by increasing the production of NADPH by glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase or another cytoplasmic NADPH-linked dehydrogenase, as had been suggested2,3.  相似文献

Phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a kidney bean lectin, is known for its binding capability to the small intestinal surface. There has been no data available, however, on the biological activity of PHA in the stomach. Recent observations indicate that PHA is able to attach to gastric mucosal and parietal cells. Therefore, we examined whether PHA affects gastric acid and pepsin secretion in rats. Rats were surgically prepared with chronic stainless steel gastric cannula and with indwelling polyethylene jugular vein catheter. During experiments, animals were slightly restrained. Gastric acid secretion was collected in 30 min periods. Acid secretion was determined by titration of the collected gastric juice with 0.02 N NaOH to pH 7.0. Pepsin activity was estimated by measuring enzymatic activity. Saline, pentagastrin and histamine were infused intravenously. PHA or bovine serum albumin (BSA) were dissolved in saline and given intragastrically through the gastric cannula. PHA significantly inhibited basal acid secretion. Inhibition of acid output reached 72% during the first collection period following PHA administration when compared, then gradually disappeared. Pentagastrin-stimulated acid secretion was repressed dose-dependently by PHA as well. Maximal inhibition was observed during the first 30 min following application of PHA. Histamine-stimulated acid secretion was inhibited by PHA in a similar manner. Pepsin secretion was not affected by PHA under either basal or stimulated conditions. These results provide evidence that PHA is a potent inhibitor of gastric acid secretion in conscious rats, but it does not affect pepsin output from the stomach.  相似文献

Proinflammatory (TNF-alpha , IL-1beta, and NO) and antiinflammatory (IL-10, CO) levels were assayed in serum, liver, and small bowel in order to verify a hypothetic inflammatory etiopathogeny of portal hypertension that could be the cause of its evolutive heterogeneity. Male Wistar rats were divided into one control group (n=11) and one group with a triple stenosing ligation of the portal vein (n=23) after 28 days of evolution. In one subgroup of portal hypertensive rats, portal pressure, collateral venous circulation, mesenteric vasculopathy, and liver and spleen weights were determined. In the remaining rats with portal hypertension TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-10 were quantified in liver and ileum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. NO synthase activity was studied in liver and ileum. CO and NO were measured in portal and systemic blood by spectrophotometry and Griess reaction, respectively. Portal hypertensive rats with mayor spleen weight show hepatomegaly and mayor development of collateral circulation. Ileum release of IL-10 (0.30 +/- 0.12 versus 0.14 +/- 0.02 pmol/mg protein; P< .01) is associated with a liver production of both proinflammatory mediators (TNF-alpha: 2 +/- 0.21 versus 1.32 +/- 0.60 pmol/mg protein; P< .05, IL-1beta: 19.17 +/- 2.87 versus 5.96 +/- 1.84 pmol/mg protein; P=.005, and NO: 132.10 +/- 34.72 versus 61.05 +/- 8.30 nmol/mL; P=.005) and an antiinflammatory mediator (CO: 6.49 +/- 2.99 versus 3.03 +/- 1.59 pmol/mL; P=.005). In short-term prehepatic portal hypertension a gut-liver inflammatory loop, which could be fundamental in the regulation both of the portal pressure and of its complications, could be proposed.  相似文献

Effect of simulated microgravity on vascular contractility   总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9  
Microgravity was simulated inSprague-Dawley (SD) and Wistar (W) rats by using a tail harness toelevate the hindquarters, producing hindlimb unweighting (HU). After 20 days of HU treatment, blood vessels from both HU and control rats werecut into 3-mm rings and mounted in tissue baths for the measurement ofisometric contraction. HU treatment decreased the contractile responseto 68 mM K+ in abdominal aortafrom W rats. HU treatment also decreased the contraction to 68 mMK+ in carotid arteries from bothrat strains and in femoral arteries from W but not SD rats. HUtreatment reduced the maximal response to norepinephrine in allarteries except the femoral from SD rats. HU treatment reduced themaximal response of jugular vein from W rats to 68 mMK+ but had no effect on thatresponse in femoral vein from either rat strain. HU treatment also hadno significant effect on the maximal response to norepinephrine inveins. These results demonstrate that HU treatment caused a nearlyuniversal reduction of contractility in arteries, but generally had noeffect in veins.
