Abstract
AIM To develop conditionally immortalized gastric mucosal cell lines that show distinct types of cell differentiation from transgenic mice harboring temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 (tsSV40) large T antigen. METHODS Gastric mucosal cells from the transgenic mice were cultured at a permissive temperature (33 degrees C), and proliferative cells were then cloned by colony formation. RESULTS Eight gastric cell lines showed epithelial-like morphology and grew at 33 degrees C. Three different types of the cell lines have been established: (1) MGE12-1, MGE3-2, and MGE509 cells expressing mRNAs for pit cell markers (gastric mucin and cathepsin E); (2) MGE02, MGE503, and MGE511 cells expressing mRNAs for pit and zymogenic (pepsinogen F) cell markers, and (3) MGE507 and MGE727 cells expressing mRNAs for pit, zymogenic, and parietal (H,K-ATPase alpha-subunit) cell markers. Moreover, the TaqMan assay showed that mRNA levels of mucin, H,K-ATPase alpha-subunit, and pepsinogen F were influenced by nonpermissive temperature (39 degrees C) in MGE503 and MGE727 cells. CONCLUSION These gastric epithelial cell lines seem to reflect different stages of development of gastric mucosal cells.

Abstract
The influences of the gastric H+/K+ pump on organelle pH during trafficking to and from the plasma membrane were investigated using HEK-293 cells stably expressing the alpha- and beta-subunits of human H+/K+-ATPase (H+/K+-alpha,beta cells). The pH values of trans-Golgi network (pHTGN) and recycling endosomes (pHRE) were measured by transfecting H+/K+-alpha,beta cells with the pH-sensitive GFP pHluorin fused to targeting sequences of either TGN38 or synaptobrevin, respectively. Immunofluorescence showed that H+/K+-ATPase was present in the plasma membrane, TGN, and RE. The pHTGN was similar in both H+/K+-alpha,beta cells (pHTGN 6.36) and vector-transfected ("mock") cells (pHTGN 6.34); pHRE was also similar in H+/K+-alpha,beta (pHRE 6.40) and mock cells (pHRE 6.37). SCH28080 (inhibits H+/K+-ATPase) caused TGN to alkalinize by 0.12 pH units; subsequent addition of bafilomycin (inhibits H+ v-ATPase) caused TGN to alkalinize from pH 6.4 up to a new steady-state pHTGN of 7.0-7.5, close to pHcytosol. Similar results were observed in RE. Thus H+/K+-ATPases that trafficked to the plasma membrane were active but had small effects to acidify the TGN and RE compared with H+ v-ATPase. Mathematical modeling predicted a large number of H+ v-ATPases (8000) active in the TGN to balance a large, passive H+ leak (with PH approximately 10-3 cm/s) via unidentified pathways out of the TGN. We propose that in the presence of this effective, though inefficient, buffer system in the Golgi and TGN, H+/K+-ATPases (estimated to be approximately 4000 active in the TGN) and other transporters have little effect on luminal pH as they traffic to the plasma membrane.

Abstract
The gastric proton pump, H(+),K(+)-ATPase, consists of the catalytic alpha-subunit and the noncatalytic beta-subunit. These subunits are assembled in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and leave the ER to reach to the cell surface as a functional holoenzyme. We studied the quantity control mechanism of the H(+),K(+)-ATPase in the ER by using a heterologous expression system in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. The alpha-subunit in the alpha-expressing cells was degraded more rapidly than in the alpha+beta-expressing cells. It was stabilized, however, in the presence of a proteasome inhibitor, lactacystin. Polyubiquitination of the alpha-subunit was observed in the alpha-expressing cells as well as in the alpha+beta-expressing cells. The extent of polyubiquitination was higher in the former alpha-expressing cells especially in the presence of lactacystin. On the other hand, polyubiquitination of the beta-subunit was not observed in the absence and presence of lactacystin. When the alpha-subunit was coexpressed with a mutant beta-subunit that lacks alpha/beta assembly capacity, degradation of the alpha-subunit was accelerated in parallel with increased polyubiquitination of the alpha-subunit. These results indicate that the ubiquitin/proteasome system is involved in degradation of the unassembled alpha-subunits in the ER to control the cell surface expression of the functional alpha/beta holoenzymes.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 mediates the major metabolic transformations of the proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) omeprazole, pantoprazole, lansoprazole, esomeprazole, and rabeprazole. Genetic polymorphism of CYP2C19 can lead to significant phenotypic variation in the activity of this isoenzyme and thus in the metabolism of PPIs. We systematically reviewed the pharmacogenetic studies of PPIs with respect to the effects of CYP2C19 polymorphism on the clinical outcomes of PPI therapy. We searched MEDLINE (January 1966-August 2002) and EMBASE (January 1988-August 2002) for English-language articles on the pharmacogenetics of PPIs; the search was supplemented by a bibliographic review of all relevant articles. Seventeen pertinent citations were identified, and the quality (level) of evidence for each was categorized according to the rating scale of the United States Preventive Services Task Force. We found that the relationship between CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism and clinical outcomes after PPI therapy has not yet been clearly delineated. Virtually all pharmacogenetic studies of PPIs have been performed in Japanese men; thus, the clinical relevance of CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism in non-Asian patients and women is unknown. Differences among dual- and triple-therapy drug regimens make it difficult to compare H. pylori eradication studies and assess their applicability to current practice patterns. Drug adherence, a pivotal factor in the success of eradication therapy, was addressed in only four trials. Future directions for research include performing more studies with larger sample sizes, particularly in non-Asian populations and women; measuring plasma PPI concentrations to directly correlate H. pylori infection and ulcer cure rates with plasma drug availability; expanding the study population to patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease; and exploring the influence of CYP3A4 in the success or failure of PPI therapy. Although CYP2C19 genotyping is currently only a research instrument, it may be a valuable clinical tool in select patients to ensure optimal PPI therapy.

Abstract
We used the method of site-directed fluorescence labeling in combination with voltage-clamp fluorometry for time-resolved recording of localized conformational transitions of the Na(+)/K(+)- and H(+)/K(+)-ATPase. Therefore, single cysteine mutations were introduced into the extracellular TM5-TM6 loop of the sheep Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)-subunit devoid of other extracellular cysteines. Upon expression in Xenopus oocytes and covalent attachment of tetramethylrhodamine-maleimide (TMRM) as a reporter fluorophore, Cys-mutant N790C showed large fluorescence changes of up to 5% in response to extracellular K(+) that were completely abolished by ouabain. When voltage jumps were applied under Na(+)/Na(+)-exchange conditions, we observed fluorescence changes that paralleled the transient currents originating from the E(1)P<-->E(2)P transition. These fluorescence changes were also completely inhibited by ouabain, as were the voltage jump-induced transient currents. Transient fluorescence changes could also be measured as a function of increasing K(+) concentrations, that is, under turnover conditions. As a result, the distribution between E(1) and E(2) states can be determined at any time and membrane potential. Very similar fluorescence signals were obtained for rat gastric H(+)/K(+)-ATPase upon expression in oocytes, when a single cysteine was introduced at a position homologous to N790 in Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase for attachment of the fluorophore. As to the high sequence similarity among P-type ATPases within the TM5 helix and the TM5-TM6 loop region, our results enable new means of kinetic investigation for these pumps under physiological conditions in living cells.

Abstract
The mechanism of cation translocation by the Na,K-ATPase was investigated by cysteine scanning mutagenesis and measurements of accessibility through exposure to cysteine reagents. In the native protein, accessible residues were found only at the most extracellular residues of the 5th and 6th transmembrane segments (TMS) and the short loop between them. However, after modification by palytoxin a number of residues became accessible along the whole length of the 5th TMS and in the outer half of the 6th TMS, showing the contribution of each of these segments to the "channel" formed by the palytoxin-transformed Na,K-pump. Assuming that this structure is similar in the native and the palytoxin-transformed pump, our data allow us to determine the residues lining the cation pathway from the extracellular solution to their binding sites. A critical position in the 5th TMS contains a lysine conserved in all known nonelectrogenic H,K-ATPases, and a serine in all known electrogenic Na,K-ATPase sequences. Wild-type or mutant Na,K-or H,K-ATPase a subunits were coinjected with the Bufo beta2 subunit in Xenopus oocytes and Rb(86) uptake and electrophysiological measurements were performed. An electrogenic activity was recorded for the H,K-ATPase mutants in which the positively charged lysine had been replaced by neutral or negatively charged residues, while nonelectrogenic transport was observed with the S(782)R mutant of the Na,K-ATPase. The presence or the absence of a positively charged residue at the S(782) position appears to be critical for the stoichiometry of cation exchange.

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases are a significant cause of death and morbidity, affecting up to 5% of the population. At present, there is no cure. Autologous bone marrow transplantation has been promoted as a treatment for achieving disease reversal and long-term remission. However, clinical trials in progress in Europe and North America report a significant risk of relapse. Here, we have addressed whether we can establish tolerance in an active autoimmune disease model by thymic expression of autoantigen. We show that tolerance and disease resistance can indeed be established in transgenic mice that spontaneously develop granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor-induced autoimmune gastritis, by mating them with disease-resistant transgenic mice that target autoantigen to the thymus. T cells from these double-transgenic mice are non-responsive to gastric antigen in vitro and fail to initiate disease following transfer to naive recipients. Further, we show that transplantation with bone marrow from disease-resistant transgenic mice renders recipient mice with gastritis tolerant to autoantigen as shown by a dramatic fall in autoantibody levels and T cell non-responsiveness to antigen in vitro. We suggest that genetically modified bone marrow targeting autoantigen to the thymus may be used to establish tolerance and prevent relapse of autoimmune disease following autologous bone marrow transplantation.

Abstract
It has been well established that phosphorylation is an important reaction for the regulation of protein functions. In the N-terminal domain of the alpha-chain of pig gastric H(+)/K(+)-ATPase, reversible sequential phosphorylation occurs at Tyr 10 and Tyr 7. In this study, we determined the structure of the peptide involving the residues from Gly 2 to Gly 34 of pig gastric H(+)/K(+)-ATPase and investigated the tyrosine phosphorylation-induced conformational change using CD and NMR experiments. The solution structure showed that the N-terminal fragment has a helical conformation, and the peptide adopted two alpha-helices in 50% trifluoroethanol (TFE) solvent, suggesting that the peptide has a high helical propensity under hydrophobic conditions. Furthermore, the CD and NMR data suggested that the structure of the N-terminal fragment becomes more disordered as a result of phosphorylation of Tyr 10. This conformational change induced by the phosphorylation of Tyr 10 might be an advantageous reaction for sequential phosphorylation and may be important for regulating the function of H(+)/K(+)-ATPase.

Abstract
Here we show a complete list of the P-type ATPase genes in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster. A detailed comparison of the deduced amino-acid sequences in combination with phylogenetic and chromosomal analyses has revealed the following: (1) The diversity of this gene family has been achieved by two major evolutionary steps; the establishment of the major P-type ATPase subgroups with distinct substrate (ion) specificities in a common ancestor of vertebrate and invertebrate, followed by the evolution of multiple isoforms occurring independently in vertebrate and invertebrate phyla. (2) Pairs of genes that have intimate phylogenetic relationship are frequently found in proximity on the same chromosome. (3) Some of the Na,K- and H,K-ATPase isoforms in D. melanogaster and C. elegans lack motifs shown to be important for alpha/beta-subunit assembly, suggesting that such alpha- and beta-subunits might exist by themselves (lonely subunits). The mutation rates for these subunits are much faster than those for the subunits with recognizable assembly domains. (4) The lonely alpha-subunits also lack the major site for ouabain binding that apparently arose before the separation of vertebrates and invertebrates and thus well before the separation of vertebrate Na,K-ATPases and H,K-ATPases. These findings support the idea that a relaxation of functional constraints would increase the rate of evolution and provide clues for identifying the origins of inhibitor sensitivity, subunit assembly, and separation of Na,K- and H,K-ATPases.

Abstract
The apical Cl-/HCO exchanger called the putative anion transporter (PAT1; SLC26A6) is expressed on apical membranes of villus cells in the duodenum, but its location in the stomach remains unknown. Here we examined the cell distribution and membrane location of PAT1 in mouse stomach. Immunofluorescence labeling studies with anti-PAT1 antibodies and Dolichos biflorus agglutinin indicated the exclusive expression of PAT1 in gastric parietal cells. Double immunocytochemical staining revealed colocalization of PAT1 with the gastric H-K-ATPase, consistent with expression in tubulovesicles and/or the secretory canaliculus. Radiolabeled 36Cl flux studies demonstrated the functional presence of Cl-/HCO exchange in purified tubulovesicles of parietal cells. The expression of PAT1 was significantly decreased in parietal cells of gastric H-K-ATPase-null mice, which exhibit a sharp reduction in tubulovesicle membranes. These data indicate that the Cl-/HCO exchanger PAT1 is localized on tubulovesicular membranes, and they are consistent with the hypothesis that it functions in the maintenance of intravesicular ion concentrations in the resting state and dehydration of vesicles derived from the secretory membranes following the transition from the stimulated to the resting state.

Abstract
The H(+)-K(+)-ATPase alpha(2) (HKalpha(2)) gene plays a central role in potassium homeostasis, yet little is known about its transcriptional control. We recently demonstrated that the proximal promoter confers basal transcriptional activity in mouse inner medullary collecting duct 3 cells. We sought to determine whether the kappaB DNA binding element at -104 to -94 influences basal HKalpha(2) gene transcription in these cells. Recombinant NF-kappaB p50 footprinted the region -116/-94 in vitro. Gel shift and supershift analysis revealed NF-kappaB p50- and p65-containing DNA-protein complexes in nuclear extracts of mouse inner medullary collecting duct 3 cells. A promoter-luciferase construct with a mutated -104/-94 NF-kappaB element exhibited higher activity than the wild-type promoter in transfection assays. Overexpression of NF-kappaB p50, p65, or their combination trans-repressed the HKalpha(2) promoter. The histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor trichostatin A partially reversed NF-kappaB-mediated trans-repression of the HKalpha(2) promoter. HDAC6 overexpression inhibited HKalpha(2) promoter activity, and HDAC6 coimmunoprecipitated with NF-kappaB p50 and p65. These results suggest that HDAC6, recruited to the DNA protein complex, acts with NF-kappaB to suppress HKalpha(2) transcription and identify NF-kappaB p50 and p65 as novel binding partners for HDAC6.

Abstract
Inhibition of the gastric H,K-ATPase by the imidazo[1,2-alpha]pyridine, SCH28080, is strictly competitive with respect to K+ or its surrogate, NH4+. The inhibitory kinetics [V(max), K(m,app)(NH4+), K(i)(SCH28080), and competitive, mixed, or noncompetitive] of mutants can define the inhibitor binding domain and the route to the ion binding region within M4-6. While mutations Y799F, Y802F, I803L, S806N, V807I (M5), L811V (M5-6), Y928H (M8), and Q905N (M7-8) had no effect on inhibitor kinetics, mutations P798C, Y802L, P810A, P810G, C813A or -S, I814V or -F, F818C, T823V (M5, M5-6, and M6), E914Q, F917Y, G918E, T929L, and F932L (M7-8 and M8) reduced the affinity for SCH28080 up to 10-fold without affecting the nature of the kinetics. In contrast, the L809F substitution in the loop between M5 and M6 resulted in an approximately 100-fold decrease in inhibitor affinity, and substitutions L809V, I816L, Y925F, and M937V (M5-6, M6, and M8) reduced the inhibitor affinity by 10-fold, all resulting in noncompetitive kinetics. The mutants L811F, Y922I, and I940A also reduced the inhibitor affinity up to 10-fold but resulted in mixed inhibition. The mutations I819L, Q923V, and Y925A also gave mixed inhibition but without a change in inhibitor affinity. These data, and the 9-fold loss of SCH28080 affinity in the C813T mutant, suggest that the binding domain for SCH28080 contains the surface between L809 in the M5-6 loop and C813 at the luminal end of M6, approximately two helical turns down from the ion binding region, where it blocks the normal ion access pathway. On the basis of a model of the Ca-ATPase in the E2 conformation (PDB entry 1kju), the mutants that change the nature of the kinetics are arranged on one side of M8 and on the adjacent side of the M5-6 loop and M6 itself. This suggests that mutations in this region modify the enzyme structure so that K+ can access the ion binding domain even with SCH28080 bound.

Abstract
Over the past 10 years experimental autoimmune gastritis has been established as a highly defined model of organ-specific autoimmunity. Autoimmune gastritis represents one of the few autoimmune diseases in which the causative autoantigens, namely the gastric H/K ATPase alpha- and beta-subunits, are defined. Furthermore, it has been clearly established that a CD4+ T cell response to the H/K ATPase beta-subunit, in particular, is essential for the initiation of autoimmune gastritis. The immunopathology of autoimmune gastritis is due to a disruption of the normal developmental pathways of the mucosa, rather than a direct depletion of the end-stage parietal and zymogenic cells. CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells were first described in experimental autoimmune gastritis and there has been a recent explosion of interest in the potential role of these immunoregulatory T cells in protection against a variety of autoimmune diseases. The availability of H/K ATPase deficient mice has begun to provide considerable insight into the basis for tolerance to the gastric autoantigens. Experimental autoimmune gastritis has also provided valuable insight into our understanding of the genetics of disease susceptibility and four distinct genetic regions have been identified which confer susceptibility to this organ-specific disease. The highlights of these recent advances are the subject of this review.

Abstract
A CD4(+) T cell response to the gastric H/K ATPase beta-subunit (H/Kbeta) is required for the onset of experimental autoimmune gastritis in BALB/c mice. The extent to which endogenous H/Kbeta contributes toward the tolerance of the H/Kbeta-specific T cell repertoire in normal individuals is not known. By comparison of T cell responses in H/Kbeta-deficient (o/o) and H/Kbeta-expressing BALB/c mice, in this work we show that the endogenous H/Kbeta autoantigen plays a major role in the tolerance of pathogenic H/Kbeta-specific T cells. First, T cell-dependent Ab responses to the H/Kbeta Ag were enhanced in H/K ATPase-immunized H/Kbeta-deficient mice compared with wild-type mice. Second, peptide immunization experiments indicated that immune responses to the major gastritogenic epitope of the H/K ATPase, namely H/Kbeta(253-277), were significantly more vigorous in H/Kbeta-deficient mice compared with wild-type mice. Third, unfractionated splenocytes from H/Kbeta-deficient mice, but not H/Kbeta-expressing mice, induced autoimmune gastritis after adoptive transfer to BALB/c nude mice. The enhanced responses to H/Kbeta in H/Kbeta-deficient mice were shown to be intrinsic to CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells rather than a change in status of CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells. We conclude from these studies that the H/Kbeta-specific T cells in wild-type mice represent the residue of a T cell repertoire, directed toward a single determinant, that has been subjected to partial tolerance induction.

Abstract
Ion transporters play a central role in gastric acid secretion. To determine whether some of these transporters are necessary for the normal ultrastructure of secretory membranes in gastric parietal cells, mice lacking transporters for H+, K+, Cl-, and Na+ were examined for alterations in volume density (Vd) of basolateral, apical, tubulovesicular and canalicular membranes, microvillar dimensions, membrane flexibility, and ultrastructure. In mice lacking Na+/H+ exchanger 1 (NHE1) or the Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter (NKCC1), the ultrastructure and Vd of secretory membranes and the secretory canalicular to tubulovesicular membrane ratio (SC/TV), a morphological correlate of secretory activity, were similar to those of wild-type mice. In mice lacking Na+/H+ exchanger 2 (NHE2) or gastric H+, K+ -ATPase alpha- or beta-subunits, the SC/TV ratio and Vd of secretory membranes were decreased, though canaliculi were often dilated. In H+, K+ -ATPase-deficient parietal cells, canalicular folds were decreased, normally abundant tubulovesicles were replaced with a few rigid round vesicles, and microvilli were sparse, stiff and short, in contrast to the long and flexible microvilli in wild-type cells. In addition, microvilli of the H+, K+ -ATPase-deficient parietal cells had centrally bundled F-actin filaments, unlike the microvilli of wild-type cells, in which actin filaments were peripherally positioned concentric to the plasmalemma. Data showed that the absence of H+, K+ -ATPase produced fundamental changes in parietal cell membrane ultrastructure, suggesting that the pump provides an essential link between the membranes and F-actin, critical to the gross architecture and suppleness of the secretory membranes.

Abstract
We have previously reported that three residues of the fourth transmembrane segment (TM4) of the Na,K- and gastric H,K-ATPase alpha-subunits appear to play a major role in the distinct cation selectivities of these pumps [Mense, M., et al. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 1749-1756]. Substituting these three residues in the Na,K-ATPase sequence with their H,K-ATPase counterparts (L319F, N326Y, T340S) and replacing the TM3-TM4 ectodomain sequence with that of the H,K-ATPase alpha-subunit result in a pump that exhibits 50% of its maximal ATPase activity in the absence of Na(+) when the assay is performed at pH 6.0. This effect is not seen when the ectodomain alone is replaced. To gain more insight into the contributions of the three residues to establishing the selectivity of these pumps for Na(+) ions versus protons, we generated Na,K-ATPase constructs in which these residues are replaced by their H,K-ATPase counterparts either singly or in combinations. Surprisingly, none of the point mutants nor even the triple mutant was able to hydrolyze ATP at pH 6.0 at a rate greater than 20% of their respective V(max)s. For the point mutants L319F and N326Y, protons seem to competitively inhibit ATP hydrolysis at pH 6.0, based on the low apparent affinity for Na(+) ions at pH 6.0 compared to pH 7.5. It would appear, therefore, that the cation selectivity of Na,K- and H,K-ATPase is generated through a cooperative effort between residues of transmembrane segments and the flanking loops that connect these transmembrane domains. This view is further supported by homology modeling of the Na,K-ATPase based on the crystal structure of the SERCA pump.

Abstract
The human nongastric H+-K+-ATPase, ATP1AL1, shown to reabsorb K+ in exchange for H+ or Na+, is localized in the luminal plasma membrane of renal epithelial cells. It is presumed that renal H+-K+-ATPases can be regulated by endocytosis. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that control plasma membrane expression of renal H+-K+-ATPases. In our study, activation of protein kinase C (PKC) using phorbol esters (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) leads to clathrin-dependent internalization and intracellular accumulation of the ion pump in stably transfected Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. Functional inactivation of the H+-K+-ATPase by PKC activation is shown by intracellular pH measurements. Proton extrusion capacity of ATP1AL1-transfected cells is drastically reduced after phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate incubation and can be prevented with the PKC blocker bisindolylmaleimide. Ion pump internalization and inactivation are specifically mediated by the PKC pathway, whereas activation of the protein kinase A pathway has no influence. Our results show that the nongastric H+-K+-ATPase is a specific target for the PKC pathway. Therefore, PKC-mediated phosphorylation is a potential regulatory mechanism for apical nongastric H+-K+-ATPase plasma membrane expression.

Abstract
A comparative localization of Na+,K(+)-ATPase and ouabain-sensitive H+,K(+)-ATPase in rat skin was performed using in situ RNA hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Na+,K(+)-ATPase was predominantly detected in the basal layer of epithelium, whereas the ouabain-sensitive H+,K(+)-ATPase, in the granular and prickle cell layers. The genes of these ATPases are thus expressed in epithelial cells at different stages of their development. The hypothesis was advanced that the ouabain-sensitive H+,K(+)-ATPase is involved in maintaining the skin pH value. The probes specific to the mRNAs of the full-size alpha-subunit of the ouabain-sensitive H+,K(+)-ATPase and its truncated form were used to establish a similar distribution of both mRNA variants in skin.

Abstract
The gastric proton pump, H(+),K(+)-ATPase, consists of the catalytic alpha-subunit and the non-catalytic beta-subunit. Correct assembly between the alpha- and beta-subunits is essential for the functional expression of H(+),K(+)-ATPase. The beta-subunit contains nine conserved cysteine residues; two are in the cytoplasmic domain, one in the transmembrane domain, and six in the ectodomain. The six cysteine residues in the ectodomain form three disulfide bonds. In this study, we replaced each of the cysteine residues of the beta-subunit with serine individually and in several combinations. The mutant beta-subunits were co-expressed with the alpha-subunit in human embryonic kidney 293 cells, and the role of each cysteine residue or disulfide bond in the alpha/beta assembly, stability, and cell surface delivery of the alpha- and beta-subunits and H(+),K(+)-ATPase activity was studied. Mutant beta-subunits with a replacement of the cytoplasmic and transmembrane cysteines preserved H(+),K(+)-ATPase activity. All the mutant beta-subunits with replacement(s) of the extracellular cysteines did not assemble with the alpha-subunit, resulting in loss of H(+),K(+)-ATPase activity. These mutants did not permit delivery of the alpha-subunit to the cell surface. Therefore, each of these disulfide bonds of the beta-subunit is essential for assembly with the alpha-subunit and expression of H(+),K(+)-ATPase activity as well as for cell surface delivery of the alpha-subunit.

Abstract
Gastric intestinal metaplasia occurs as a pathological condition in the gastric mucosa. To clarify how an intestine-specific homeobox gene, Cdx2, affects the morphogenesis of gastric mucosa, we generated transgenic mice expressing Cdx2 in parietal cells. Until Day 18 after birth, the number of parietal cells inthegastric mucosa of transgenic mice was the same as for their normal littermates. However, at Day 19, we detected several glands in which parietal cells disappeared and the proliferating zone moved from the isthmus to the base of the glands. Thereafter, parietal cells decreased gradually and disappeared at Day 37. All of the gastric mucosal cells, except for enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells, were completely replaced by intestinal metaplasia, consisting of goblet cells, enteroendocrine cells, and absorptive cells expressing alkaline phosphatase. Pseudopyloric gland metaplasia was also formed. The transgenic mouse is a very useful model for clarifying physiological differentiation of gastric and intestinal cell lineages and analyzing the molecular events from intestinal metaplasia to adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
The expression of mRNAs encoding a human nongastric proton pump (ATP1AL1) in the colorectum was investigated. The real-time PCR gave significant levels of signals not only in the distal part of human colon and rectum, but also in the proximal part of the colon. ATP1AL1 mRNA was overexpressed in 12 out of 20 human colorectal adenocarcinomas compared with the level in the accompanying normal mucosa. It is noted that astonishing levels of the mRNA overexpression were found in 4 carcinomas, which were detected even by Northern blot. The very high levels of ATP1AL1 mRNA expression in some cancer tissues may be connected to an unknown specific pathophysiological condition.

Abstract
Gastric parietal cells have a unique secretory membrane system that undergoes a profound transformation when the parietal cell is stimulated to secrete acid. Understanding this process has been hindered by the lack of an immortalised parietal cell line. Here we have explored a strategy for the development of a parietal cell line by the generation of transgenic mice bearing the temperature-sensitive mutant of the SV40 large T antigen (SV40 tsA58) under the control of the regulatory sequences of the gastric H+/K+ ATPase beta-subunit (H/Kbeta-tsA58). Three H/ Kbeta-tsA58 transgenic mouse lines were established, namely 218, 224 and 228, all of which expressed the tsA58 T antigen in the gastric mucosa. Unexpectedly, the gastric mucosae of all lines were hypertrophic indicating that the temperature-sensitive large T antigen was partially active at 37 degrees C. Immunofluorescence together with light and electron microscopic studies revealed that mature parietal and zymogenic cells were absent in H/Kbeta-tsA58 transgenic lines 218 and 224, and small undifferentiated cells were the dominant cell type in the gastric units. On the other hand, a few mature parietal cells were detected in line 228 together with an increased proportion of undifferentiated cells and, normally rare, pre-parietal cells. As line 228 represented a rich source of pre-parietal cells, gastric cells from line 228 were isolated and cultured at 33 degrees C, the permissive temperature for tsA58. Gastric epithelial cells, expressing the T antigen, were maintained in culture for over 6 weeks. Upon a temperature shift to 39 C the cultured gastric cells developed characteristics of differentiated parietal cells, including the presence of a nascent canaliculus and dramatically increased production of the gastric H+/K+ ATPase beta-subunit. Therefore, this system shows the potential to generate an immature parietal cell line that can be induced to differentiate in vitro.

Abstract
The molecular basis of active ion transport in secretory glands such as the prostate is not well characterized. Rat nongastric H-K-ATPase is expressed at high levels in distal colon surface cell apical membranes and thus is referred to as "colonic." Here we show that the ATPase is expressed in rodent prostate complex in a lobe-specific manner. RT-PCR and Western blot analyses indicate that rat nongastric H-K-ATPase alpha-subunit (alpha(ng)) mRNA and protein are present in coagulating gland (anterior prostate) and lateral and dorsal prostate and absent from ventral lobe, whereas Na-K-ATPase alpha-subunit is present in all lobes. RT-PCR analysis shows that Na-K-ATPase alpha(4) and alpha(3) and gastric H-K-ATPase alpha-subunit are not present in significant amounts in all prostate lobes. Relatively low levels of Na-K-ATPase alpha(2) were found in lateral, dorsal, and anterior lobes. alpha(ng) protein expression is anteriodorsolateral: highest in coagulating gland, somewhat lower in dorsal lobe, and even lower in lateral lobe. Na-K-ATPase protein abundance has the reverse order: expression in ventral lobe is higher than in coagulating gland. alpha(ng) protein abundance is higher in coagulating gland than distal colon membranes. Immunohistochemistry shows that in rat and mouse coagulating gland epithelium alpha(ng) protein has an apical polarization and Na-K-ATPase alpha(1) is localized in basolateral membranes. The presence of nongastric H-K-ATPase in rodent prostate apical membranes may indicate its involvement in potassium concentration regulation in secretions of these glands.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrin is known to have stimulatory effects on gastric mucosa; however, long-term effect of gastrin stimulation is not well known. AIM AND METHODS To investigate the long-term effect of hypergastrinaemia, we established hypergastrinaemic transgenic mice by introducing a mutated human gastrin gene. Homozygously transgene-expressing mice showed serum gastrin levels of more than 600 pg/mL. RESULTS Neither progastrin nor glycine-extended gastrin titre elevation were observed in hypergastrinaemic transgenic mice. Stomachs from the 30-35-week-old transgenic mice were 30-50% heavier and their mucosa were markedly thicker than those of the controls. The hypertrophic gastric mucosa of hypergastrinaemic transgenic mice consisted of elongated pits with widespread proliferative zones, and comprised depleted glandular regions. In situ hybridization study indicated that expression of H, K-ATPase mRNA in parietal cells of hypergastrinaemic transgenic mice was markedly decreased. By gastrin binding assay in vivo, specific gastrin binding sites were observed in the mid-glandular region of hypergastrinaemic transgenic mice that consisted mainly of prepit cells. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that long-term stimulation of gastrin increases the expression of CCK-B/gastrin receptors in the less-differentiated pit cells that are the main component of elongated gastric units, and lessens the well-differentiated characteristics of parietal cells.
