Omeprazole is a specific inhibitor in vivo of the functioning gastric acid pump, the H(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase), in the secretory canaliculus of the parietal cell. It has been shown previously that omeprazole in rats led to an increase in the mRNA for the alpha-subunit of the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase. Omeprazole causes a marked increase in circulating gastrin in this species, which in turn stimulates release of histamine from the enterochromaffin-like cell. The possible role of this pathway was investigated by the in vivo administration of famotidine, a potent H2 receptor antagonist. A single intraperitoneal dose of famotidine, 200 mg/kg, produced a transient hypergastrinemia peaking at 3 h and normalizing at 12 h, inhibition of secretion that lasted for 12 h, but no change in the level of the alpha-subunit mRNA or of beta-actin mRNA. In contrast, a single dose of omeprazole, 100 mg/kg, inhibited acid secretion and produced hypergastrinemia, peaking at 12 h, both effects lasting for the 24-h observation period. Omeprazole elevated the alpha-subunit mRNA transiently by more than threefold at 3 h, with normal levels being restored at 24 h. The administration of famotidine 1 h after omeprazole did not change the effects of omeprazole on acid secretion but elevated the gastrin levels further. There was now no elevation of the alpha-subunit mRNA for the first 6 h, but a small increase at 12 h and a further increase to approximately 2.5-fold at 24 h.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A 63-year-old woman was diagnosed as autoimmune gastritis by the presence of serum antibody against alpha-subunit of gastric H+,K(+)-ATPase. The patient did not have pernicious anemia, but showed achlorhydria, marked hypergastrinemia, enterochromaffin-like cell hyperplasia and an extremely high histidine decarboxylase activity in the gastric fundic mucosa. Intragastric acidification by infusion of hydrochloric acid via a nasogastric tube induced a transient reduction of serum gastrin level and fundic mucosal histidine decarboxylase activity. A marked increase in fundic mucosal histidine decarboxylase activity as well as hypergastrinemia appears to be the pathophysiologic response to achlorhydria caused by autoimmunity against gastric H+,K(+)-ATPase.

Transgenic mice bearing the elastase I promoter--SV40 T-antigen fusion gene (ELSV) develop pancreatic acinar cell carcinomas by 3 to 6 months of age. The purpose of the study was to determine if pancreatic carcinomas and dysplastic pancreas from the Tg (Ela-1, SV40E + Ela-1, neo) Bri19 strain of ELSV transgenic mice express gastrin (CCK-B) receptors. To accomplish this, we utilized iodine 125 (125I)-gastrin binding studies, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and Southern blot analysis to examine pancreatic carcinomas from 26-week-old male ELSV transgenic mice, dysplastic pancreas from 8-week-old male ELSV transgenic mice, and normal pancreas from 30-week-old nontransgenic male mice (SJL/J) and from 8-week-old nontransgenic male mice (B6SJLF1/J). No saturable gastrin binding to normal nontransgenic mouse pancreas was found. In contrast, saturable gastrin binding was detected at pH 6.5, 22 degrees C, in 9 of 13 pancreatic carcinomas and all 5 dysplastic pancreata. Competitive inhibition 125I-gastrin binding assays showed gastrin bound to a single class of high-affinity receptors (receptor binding affinity [Kd] 0.11 +/- 0.02 nM, binding capacities ranging from 1 to 60 fmol/mg protein for pancreatic carcinomas; Kd: 0.15 +/- 0.04 nM, binding capacities ranging from 1 to 9 fmol/mg protein for dysplastic pancreas). RT-PCR and Southern blot analysis confirmed 125I-gastrin binding studies by demonstrating gastrin (CCK-B) receptor mRNA expression in pancreatic carcinomas and dysplastic pancreas but an absence of mRNA expression in normal nontransgenic mouse pancreas. In conclusion, pancreatic carcinomas and dysplastic pancreas in ELSV transgenic mice novelly express gastrin (CCK-B) receptors. This expression may provide a growth advantage to acinar cells as part of the multistage process of carcinogenesis.

Little data exist regarding the activity of gastric parietal and G cells in the very immature infant. Therefore, we have examined the developing human stomach for the presence and location of parietal and G cells, by using both standard histological methods and antibodies to the H+/K(+)-ATPase (proton pump), intrinsic factor and gastrin in 25 fetuses (ranging from 13-28 weeks) and in 5 infants (2-21 weeks). Parietal cell activity was noted in the body, antrum and pyloric regions in all the fetal specimens examined. However, this activity was much more limited in the infant specimens. Gastrin immunoreactivity was noted in all specimens from 18 weeks of gestation onwards; this activity was located solely in the antral and pyloric region. These results indicate that the human fetus has the potential to produce gastric acid, intrinsic factor and gastrin from the middle of the second trimester.

The parietal cells, which are responsible for the production of gastric HCl acid, are uniquely equipped for high-gradient ion transport. Adequate energy is supplied by oxidative metabolism in the mitochondria, which occupy an exceptionally high proportion of the cytoplasmic volume. Another characteristic feature is the secretory canaliculi. These are tortuous small channels lined by microvilli which penetrate all parts of the cytoplasm and which expand during stimulation of secretion. The activity of the parietal cell is controlled by receptors for acetylcholine, histamine and gastrin on the basolateral cell membrane. Stimulation of these receptors modulates the levels of protein kinases in the cell and brings about the changes from resting to stimulated structure. A key role in the production of acid is played by the gastric acid pump, also known as the H+, K(+)-ATPase, which exports hydrogen ions in 1:1 exchange for potassium ions. This protein is a member of the P-type ATP-driven ion pumps and appears to be uniquely located in the parietal cell. The gastric acid pump is found in the tubulovesicular membranes of the resting cell and moves to the membrane lining the secretory canaliculus when acid secretion is stimulated. Functional acid secretion also requires the presence of KCl pathways in the secretory membrane in order to supply the acid pump with a source of potassium ions. For each hydrogen ion secreted across the secretory membrane, one bicarbonate ion is generated in the cytoplasm and is transported across the basolateral membrane in exchange for chloride. The movement of ions across the apical membrane is followed osmotically by water, resulting in the secretion of 160 mM HCl from the parietal cell.

The activity of gastric parietal cells in terms of hydrochloric acid (HCl) secretion is regulated by the interaction of stimulatory substances (e.g. gastrin) and inhibitors (e.g. somatostatin) acting in an endocrine and paracrine mode, as well as luminal factors. In the present study the following parameters were measured: the synthesis (mRNA), storage (tissue peptide concentration) and secretion (plasma peptide concentration) of somatostatin and gastrin following short-term treatment of rats with pentagastrin (acid stimulant), secretin, omeprazole (reduces gastric acidity by inactivating gastric H/K ATPase) and the somatostatin analogue octreotide (reduces gastric acidity by inhibiting both the parietal cell and gastrin). The mRNA coding for H/K ATPase and carbonic anhydrase II (CA II), the two enzymes responsible for the generation of hydrogen ions from the parietal cell, were also quantitated. In response to octreotide, somatostatin peptide and mRNA levels in the fundus rose to 180 +/- 16% (P < 0.001) and 1073 +/- 356% (P < 0.05) of control, respectively. In contrast, octreotide caused a decrease in antral somatostatin peptide and its mRNA did not change significantly. No significant changes in synthesis, secretion or storage of gastrin were observed except for omeprazole induced hypergastrinaemia (580 +/- 76%, P < 0.001). H/K ATPase and CA II mRNA were largely unaffected except for an increase in CA II mRNA following octreotide and a decrease in H/K ATPase mRNA after pentagastrin. These data support the concept of the differential control of antral and fundic somatostatin synthesis and provide evidence for a regulatory loop by which somatostatin can influence its own synthesis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

1. Vesicular monoamine transporters (VMATs) translocate monoamines from the cytoplasm into secretory vesicles of endocrine cells and neurones, but they have limited affinity for histamine, and the identity of the vesicular transporter for this monoamine is uncertain. The aims of the present study were to characterize VMAT representatives in rat gastric corpus, and to determine if their expression was regulated by factors that modulate histamine biosynthesis. 2. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) cloning using oligonucleotide primers to DNA sequences conserved within the VMAT family provided evidence for VMAT2, but not VMAT1 in rat gastric corpus. Northern analysis using a VMAT2 complementary RNA probe revealed a single 4 kb mRNA species in corpus endocrine cells. 3. In rats treated for up to 5 days with the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase inhibitor omeprazole, VMAT2, histidine decarboxylase and chromogranin A mRNA abundance in gastric corpus, and plasma gastrin concentrations increased progressively. Omeprazole also elevated VMAT2 expression in rats fasted for 48 h, but fasting alone, or refeeding fasted animals had no effect. 4. The results are consistent with a role for VMAT2 in the transport of histamine into enterochromaffin-like cell secretory vesicles, and with upregulation of the transporter to accommodate the increased histamine biosynthesis and secretion that accompanies achlorhydria.

The presence of subunit proteins, 1H9 for the alpha-subunit and 2B6 for the beta-subunit, of H(+)-K+ ATPase and its activity in tubulovesicles and intracellular canaliculi of gastric parietal cells were immunocytochemically and enzyme cytochemically examined. Specimens were taken from healthy human volunteers by endoscopic biopsy in resting, tetragastrin-stimulated and omeprazole-inhibited conditions. H(+)-K+ ATPase was present in both intracellular canaliculi and tubulovesicles in these three conditions. Gold particles of the alpha-subunit decreased in number, and those showing the beta-subunit increased under both gastrin-stimulating and omeprazole-inhibiting conditions compared with parietal cells in the resting state. We suggest that the administration of tetragastrin and omeprazole alter the turnover rate of each subunit of H(+)-K+ ATPase, resulting in the difference of the proportions of alpha- and beta-subunits. Moreover, the activity of H(+)-K+ ATPase was detected strongly beneath the membrane of microvilli and weakly in that of tubulovesicles under these three conditions. After 7 days of daily oral omeprazole intake, H(+)-K+ ATPase in parietal cells were detected in intracellular canaliculi and tubulovesicles. However, the H(+)-K+ ATPase activity in tubulovesicles was diminished 1 h after omeprazole intake, and the activity in intracellular canaliculi was completely inhibited even 3 h after omeprazole administration. These results show that omeprazole inhibited the H(+)-K+ ATPase activity in both intracellular canaliculi and tubulovesicles.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether gastrin regulates morphological changes and alpha-subunit gene expression in parietal cells through the gastrin/CCK-B receptor on enterochromaffin-like cells by histamine release. Treatment with 100 mg/kg of YM022, a potent and selective gastrin/CCK-B receptor antagonist, for one week in rats did not alter mRNA levels of histidine decarboxylase or H+, K+-ATPase. However, parietal cell morphology predominantly changed to the resting form, although the serum gastrin concentration was significantly increased. Additional treatment with YM022 and oral omeprazole, 100 mg/kg, for one week markedly suppressed the increases of mRNA levels of histidine decarboxylase and H+, K+-ATPase and completely blocked the morphological transformation of the parietal cells to a stimulated form induced by treatment with omeprazole alone. This indicates that the morphological transformation of parietal cells to an activated form with a subsequent increase in H+, K+-ATPase synthesis caused by hypergastrinemia is mediated by increased histidine decarboxylase gene expression in enterochromaffin-like cells via gastrin/CCK-B receptors.

Mucolipidosis type IV is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease of unknown etiology that causes severe neurological and ophthalmological abnormalities. In an attempt to obtain insight into the nature of the metabolic abnormality in this disorder, we prospectively evaluated 15 consecutive patients, aged 2 to 23 years, over a period of 22 months. The finding of iron deficiency in some of the patients led us to the discovery that all patients but one had markedly elevated blood gastrin levels. None had vitamin B12 deficiency. Gastroscopy in three patients showed normal gross appearance of the mucosa in two patients, 4 and 7 years old, and mucosal atrophy in a 22-year-old. Parietal cells were present in normal numbers and contained large cytoplasmic inclusions that were confirmed immunohistochemically to be lysosomal in nature. Other gastric epithelial cells appeared normal. Parietal cells contained very few tubulovesicular membranes, suggesting cellular activation, whereas apical canaliculi appeared relatively nonactivated. Both subunits of the parietal cell H+/K+-ATPase were present, and both partially colocalized with f-actin at the apical membrane. We conclude that patients with mucolipidosis type IV are constitutively achlorhydric and have partially activated parietal cells. We hypothesize that the defective protein in this disease is closely associated with the final stages of parietal cell activation and is critical for a specific type of cellular vacuolar trafficking between the cytoplasm and the apical membrane domain.
