The H+/K(+)-ATPase is the dimeric enzyme responsible for H+ secretion by the gastric parietal cells. The present study examined the response of rat fundic mRNA levels of H+/K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit and somatostatin to the inhibition of H+/K(+)-ATPase enzyme activity and gastric pH elevation by oral omeprazole administration. Omeprazole inhibits the alpha-subunit of H+/K(+)-ATPase covalently and stabilizes stimulated morphology of the parietal cell. After a single administration of omeprazole (100 mg/kg), H+/K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit mRNA levels increased significantly by 57% at 3 h and remained elevated for 6 h, returning to the basal level by 24 h. After multiple administrations of omeprazole (100 mg/kg per day, every 24 h for 3 days), H+/K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit mRNA levels were already elevated at the time of the last dose, reached maximum at 6 h (95% increase above control), and returned to the pre-treatment level after 36 h. Nuclear run-on assay indicated H+/K(+)-ATPase gene transcription was significantly increased by omeprazole pretreatment in vivo. In contrast, a significant decrease in fundic somatostatin mRNA occurred at 12 h after a single dose, and the inhibition was more pronounced and lasted longer after multiple doses of omeprazole. These data indicate that omeprazole, while effectively inhibiting H+/K(+)-ATPase activity, induces H+/K(+)-ATPase gene expression in the parietal cells. An inverse relationship exists between the regulation of somatostatin gene expression in fundic D-cells and H+/K(+)-ATPase gene expression. The increase in H+/K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit mRNA could be due to alterations in extracellular gastrin/somatostatin ratios or could be induced by intracellular effects of omeprazole.

Receptors for the main neural (acetylcholine), hormonal (gastrin) and paracrine (histamine) secretory stimulants and the signal transduction pathways to which these receptors are coupled have been identified on the parietal cell. The stimulatory effect of histamine is mediated via an increase in adenylate cyclase activity, whereas the effect of acetylcholine and gastrin are mediated via an increase in cytosolic levels of calcium. Strong synergism between histamine and either gastrin or acetylcholine may reflect postreceptor interaction between the distinct pathways. Acetylcholine and gastrin are also capable of releasing histamine from the gastric mucosa, probably from ECL cells. The inhibitory effects of somatostatin and prostaglandin E on acid secretion are mediated by receptors coupled via guanine nucleotide binding proteins to inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity. All the pathways converge on and modulate the activity of the luminal enzyme, H+K(+)-ATPase, ultimately responsible for acid secretion. The intramural neural and paracrine pathways involved in the regulation of gastrin secretion in the antrum and acid secretion in the fundus have also been identified. Of prime importance is the somatostatin cell, which exerts a paracrine restraint on gastrin secretion and acid secretion. Elimination of this restraint or disinhibition is one of the mechanisms by which the stimulatory influence of cholinergic neurons is exerted on gastrin and parietal cells. Gastrin secretion is regulated by a cholinergic neuron that causes inhibition of somatostatin secretion and thus stimulation of gastrin secretion (disinhibition) and a noncholinergic neuron that causes direct stimulation of gastrin secretion by releasing the neurotransmitter, bombesin (or gastrin-releasing peptide). Acid secretion is regulated by a cholinergic neuron that causes direct stimulation of the parietal cell and indirect stimulation by decreasing somatostatin secretion, thus eliminating its inhibitory effect on the parietal cell (disinhibition). In addition, a regulatory feedback mechanism exists whereby intraluminal acidification stimulates somatostatin secretion, which in turn attenuates acid secretion. Gastric acid secretion may also be regulated by one or more intestinal inhibitory hormones, the most likely candidates being secretin, intestinal somatostatin, and neurotensin. Enterogastrone activity probably reflects the combined effect of all these hormones. Precise information on receptors and signal transduction mechanisms as well as on intramural neural and paracrine regulatory pathways has led to the development of new drugs capable of inhibiting acid secretion. These include antagonists that interact with stimulatory receptors (histamine H2-receptor antagonists, muscarinic receptor antagonists, and gastrin receptor antagonists), agonists that interact with inhibitory receptors (somatostatin and prostaglandin E analogues), and irreversible inhibitors of the luminal enzyme, H+K(+)-ATPase.

The role of extrarenal potassium homeostasis is well recognized as a major mechanism for the acute defense against the development of hyperkalemia. The purpose of this report is to examine whether or not the various mechanisms of extrarenal potassium regulation are intact in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The available data suggest that with the development of ESRD and the uremic syndrome there is impaired extrarenal potassium metabolism that is related to a defect in the Na,K-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase). The responsiveness of uremic patients to the various effector systems that regulate extrarenal potassium handling is discussed. Insulin is well positioned to play an important role in the regulation of plasma potassium concentration in patients with impaired renal function. The role of basal insulin may be even more important than previously appreciated, since somatostatin infusion causes a much greater increase in the fasting plasma potassium in rats with renal failure than in controls. Furthermore, stimulation of endogenous insulin by oral glucose results in a greater intracellular translocation of potassium in uremic rats than in controls. Under at least two common physiologic circumstances, feeding and vigorous exercise, endogenous catecholamines might also act to defend against acute increments in extracellular potassium concentration. However, it is important to appreciate that the response to beta 2-adrenoreceptor-mediated internal potassium disposal is heterogeneous as judged by the variable responses to epinephrine infusion. Based on the evidence presented in this report, a regimen for the treatment of life-threatening hyperkalemia is outlined. Interpretation of the available data demonstrate that bicarbonate should not be relied on as the sole initial treatment for severe hyperkalemia, since the magnitude of the effect of bicarbonate on potassium is variable and may be delayed. The initial treatment for life-threatening hyperkalemia should always include insulin plus glucose, as the hypokalemic response to insulin is both prompt and predictable. Combined treatment with beta 2-agonists and insulin is also effective and may help prevent insulin-induced hypoglycemia.

The Na- and Cl-absorbing goby posterior intestinal epithelium is composed predominantly of mitochondria-rich, tall columnar cells. Glass intracellular microelectrode recording technique was applied to absorptive cells of this relatively leaky epithelium to measure apical cell membrane potential difference (psi mc) and apical membrane fractional resistance. As determined by ion-substitution studies, absorptive cells are characterized by a large, Ba2+-inhibitable apical K conductance, which is a major factor determining psi mc and smaller Cl and Na conductances. Inhibition of the apical Na-Cl-coupled influx directly by furosemide or indirectly by the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine produced hyperpolarization of psi mc, consistent with the greater apical membrane conductance to Cl than Na. The urophysial neurosecretory peptide urotensin II, which stimulates Na-Cl-coupled absorption, markedly depolarized psi mc in posterior intestinal tissues from 5% seawater-adapted gobies. This response is consistent with a stimulatory effect of urotensin II at the apical membrane carrier rather than at the basolateral Na-K-ATPase. Urotensin II is without effect on psi mc in tissues from seawater-adapted fish and somatostatin, a natural analogue of urotensin II, is without effect on tissues from fish adapted to either salinity. This specificity parallels that determined using radiotracer fluxes.

The effect of several insulin secretagogues and a blocker upon islet Na+, K+-ATPase activity was studied using rat islet homogenates. None of the agents tested modified the enzyme activity when added directly to the enzyme assay. Activity of Na+, K+-ATPase measured in islets preincubated during 3 min with glucose 3.3, 8 or 16.6 mM, as well as with 15 mM KIC or 1.2 microM somatostatin, did not significantly change. The presence of glucagon (1.4 microM) plus theophylline (10 mM) in the preincubation medium significantly enhanced activity while tolbutamide (1.48 mM) or gliclazide (76 microM) significantly decreased such activity. These results suggest that Na+, K+-ATPase activity would not be a main common step involved in the mechanism by which glucose, KIC, glucagon + theophylline and somatostatin exert their effect on insulin secretion. Conversely, the enzyme might contribute to the stimulatory effect of gliclazide and tolbutamide on insulin release. Such effect would be secondary to the release of some cellular mediator rather than a direct action of these compounds on the enzyme. Such effect would later favor a rise in the cytosolic concentration of calcium which might trigger the release of insulin.

We studied whether enprostil, a synthetic prostaglandin E2 derivative, might inhibit gastrin release and the trophic effects on gastric oxyntic mucosa induced by prolonged treatment with an inhibitor of hydrogen-potassium-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase, the substituted benzimidazole BY 831-78. Rats were treated intragastrically with enprostil (1 or 15 micrograms/kg b.i.d.), BY 831-78 (15 mumol/kg once daily), the combination of enprostil and BY 831-78, ranitidine (300 mumol/kg b.i.d.), and placebo. Plasma gastrin and somatostatin levels and gastric acid secretion were measured during a 1-day treatment in animals fitted with chronic gastric fistulas and repeatedly during 9 wk of treatment in intact rats. Despite inhibiting acid secretion, enprostil did not increase plasma gastrin. When combined with BY 831-78, enprostil transiently reduced the BY 831-78-induced increase of integrated plasma gastrin (1375 +/- 206 vs. 2137 +/- 256 pmol/L.12 h, p less than 0.05) in fasted rats with fistulas, but failed to prevent the marked hypergastrinemia following 9 wk of treatment with BY 831-78 (717 +/- 80 vs. 731 +/- 56 pmol/L) in intact rats. However, enprostil reduced the BY 831-78-induced increase of oxyntic mucosal volume (458 +/- 31 vs. 567 +/- 33 mm3, p less than 0.01), whereas BY 831-78 prevented the enprostil-induced increase of antral mucosal volume (42 +/- 3 vs. 56 +/- 3 mm3, p less than 0.01). These results demonstrate that some of the trophic effects induced by a hydrogen-potassium-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase inhibitor are not exclusively governed by gastrin.

In order to explore the pathogenetic mechanism underlying the changes in blood-brain barrier sodium transport in experimental diabetes, the effects of hyperglycemia and of hypoinsulinemia were studied in nondiabetic rats. In untreated diabetes, the neocortical blood-brain barrier permeability for sodium decreased by 20% (5.6 +/- 0.7 versus 7.0 +/- 0.8 X 10(5) ml/g/s) as compared to controls. Intravenous infusion of 50% glucose for 2 h was associated with a decrease in the blood-brain barrier permeability to sodium (5.4 +/- 1.2 X 10(5) ml/g/s), whereas rats treated with an inhibitor of insulin-secretion (SMS 201-995, a somatostatin-analogue) had normal sodium permeability (7.3 +/- 2.0 X 10(5) ml/g/s). Acute insulin treatment of diabetic rats normalized the sodium permeability within a few hours as compared to a separate control group (7.7 +/- 1.1 versus 6.9 +/- 1.4 X 10(5) ml/g/s). To elucidate whether the abnormal blood-brain barrier passage is caused by a metabolic effect of glucose or by the concomitant hyperosmolality, rats were made hyperosmolar by intravenous injection of 50% mannitol. Although not statistically significant, blood-brain barrier sodium permeability increased in hyperosmolar rats as compared to the control rats (8.3 +/- 1.0 and 7.0 +/- 1.9 X 10(5) ml/g/s, respectively). It is concluded that either hyperglycemia per se or a glucose metabolite is responsible for the blood-brain barrier abnormality which occurs in diabetes. Further, we suggest that the specific decrease of sodium permeability could be the result of glucose-mediated inhibition of the Na+K+-ATPase localized at the blood-brain barrier.

Vanadium compounds are known to affect multiple membrane and cytosolic phosphoenzymes from various tissues; the most characterized effect is the inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase. Since we previously reported that immunoreactive insulin (IRI) secretagogues tend to inhibit rat islet cation-dependent ATPases, we examined the effects of sodium vanadate on rat IRI secretion from incubated and perifused rat islets. In the presence of 2.4 mM Ca2+, vanadate (10(-3) M) induced biphasic IRI secretion with a background glucose of 100 mg/dl. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, IRI released from incubated islets by vanadate at 100 and 300 mg/dl glucose was doubled and tripled, respectively. Furthermore, this stimulatory effect was completely abolished by known inhibitors of IRI release such as somatostatin, epinephrine, and diphenylhydantoin. Although we found the expected dose-dependent inhibition by vanadate of islet membrane Na+-K+-ATPase activity, the mechanism of action of vanadate on IRI secretion remains unknown. Vanadate probably interacts in a complex fashion with different islet phosphoenzymes and may prove to be a useful probe to further unravel the mechanisms leading to insulin secretion.

Anti-ulcer drugs may be classified according to their site and/or mechanism of action as: corticohypothalamic drugs; antisecretory drugs which may be anticholinergic agents (both classical atropine-like compounds and pirenzepine) or antagonists of the H2-receptors; antacids; agents which protect the mucosa; and gastric muscle stimulants. New groups of compounds with different pharmacokinetics and mechanisms of action are currently being investigated, and it is possible that they will represent an alternative to, or a substitute for, the present widely used anti-ulcer drugs. Among the new drugs, synthetic prostaglandins are probably the most interesting compounds, having potent antisecretory activity together with important cytoprotective properties. Another interesting group are the inhibitors of H+/K+-ATPase such as the substituted benzimidazoles, among which omeprazole is characterized by potent and long-acting antisecretory activity. Theoretically, other drugs such as calcium-entry blockers and synthetic somatostatin analogs deserve consideration although results obtained are preliminary.

Cellular mechanisms underlying the actions of antisecretory agents were studied with dispersed canine fundic cells; aminopyrine accumulation monitored parietal cell (PC) function. Canine PC have pharmacologically typical histamine (H) H2 and muscarinic (M) receptors. PC also have gastrin (G) receptors, which were selectively blocked by gastrin/CCK antagonists. Potentiating interactions occurred between secretagogues, one of the components of the interdependency between regulatory pathways. Prostaglandins (PG) E2 inhibited H-stimulated PC function. Treatment of PC with pertussis toxin (PT), which inactivates the inhibitory GTP-binding protein of adenylate cyclase (Gi), markedly reduced PG inhibition, indicating PG action via Gi. PC function can also be directly inhibited by H+/K+-ATPase inhibitors, such as omeprazole. When canine mucosal cells were studied, stimulatory G and inhibitory M receptors were present on fundic somatostatin (S) cells. Histamine was localized to canine fundic mast cells, which lacked G or M receptors, a conclusion that may not pertain to fundic histamine cells in other species. Nonparietal cell receptors may be important modulators of the regulation of acid secretion.
