Abstract
Activities of the H+, K(+)-ATPase and the Na+, K+, ATPase have been localized in the morphologically heterogeneous oxyntic cell lineage of adult bovine abomasal mucosa, by means of K(+)-dependent paranitrophenylphosphatase (K(+)-pNPPase) histochemistry. At the light- and electron-microscopic level, only members of the mature oxyntic cell population within the oxyntic glandular base exhibit strong enzyme activity. Superficial oxyntic cells of the proximal isthmus and deep pit, arising from the upward migration of precursor cells and commonly supposed to have a high capacity of secreting acid, show weak or no enzyme activity. This is also true of the immature and pre-oxyntic cells of the generative zone. Global enzyme activity varies among the mature glandular oxyntic cell population. Ultracytochemically, strong H+, K(+)-ATPase (ouabain-insensitive K(+)-pNPPase) activity is associated with the apical plasmalemmal and expanded canalicular membrane in contrast to Na+, K(+)-ATPase (ouabain-sensitive K(+)-pNPPase) activity, which is localized on the basolateral plasmalemmal folds. In both cases, histochemical deposition is confined to the cytoplasmic aspect of the membranes. These results suggest a functional zonation and position-dependent heterogeneity of the oxyntic cell lineage related to the bidirectional mode of migration of pre-oxyntic cells during physiological cell renewal. Functional heterogeneity within the mature glandular oxyntic cell population is in accordance with the continuous mode of gastric acid secretion in cattle.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the prevalence, and relation to Helicobacter pylori, of parietal cells in the duodenal bulb using a monoclonal antibody directed against H+,K(+)-ATPase (HK12.18). METHODS Twenty six patients with duodenal ulcer disease and 16 healthy controls were studied. H pylori status was determined by gastric histology and culture and by the 13C-urea breath test. Four biopsy specimens were taken from the duodenal bulb and stained with HK12.18. The presence/absence and number of parietal cells in the duodenal bulb were assessed blindly by a histopathologist. RESULTS The overall prevalence of parietal cells in the duodenal bulb was 31% (13/42) and was similar in patients with duodenal ulcer and in controls, and in H pylori positive and negative subjects. The median (range) number of parietal cells in the duodenal bulb was 7.5 (4-20) parietal cells/subject, and was similar in all four groups. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of parietal cells in the duodenal bulb (31%) is notably higher than previously reported in endoscopic studies, and is in keeping with reports from studies on necropsy/operative specimens. There was no difference in the prevalence or number of parietal cells in the duodenal bulb between patients with duodenal ulcer and controls, regardless of H pylori status. These findings suggest that parietal cells in the duodenal bulb do not contribute to the pathogenesis of duodenal ulcer.

Abstract
Protein metabolic labeling in vivo was used to determine a time course for trafficking of nascent H(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (H(+)-K(+)-ATPase) from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to mature tubulovesicles in parietal cells. Stomachs of cimetidine-treated rabbits were taken 15-90 min after injection of [35S]methionine/cysteine, and mucosal microsomes were fractionated on sucrose gradients for analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Western blot, and autoradiography. After 15 min, labeled alpha-subunit peaked at approximately 1.14 g/ml, matching the distribution of the high-mannose beta-subunit precursor, "pre-beta." After 30 min, most labeled alpha-subunit was in a peak at approximately 1.10 g/ml, considered to be Golgi. By 90 min, most labeled alpha-subunit was in a light peak, at approximately 1.07 g/ml, aligned with the major peak of total H(+)-K(+)-ATPase previously characterized as mature tubulovesicles. From material enriched in pre-beta, alpha-subunit was coprecipitated with pre-beta by a terminal mannose-specific lectin, Galanthus nivalis agglutinin, in the same ratio as the mature alpha:beta ratio. Thus alpha- and beta-subunits associated early in the ER. This is the first use of protein metabolic labeling to study early trafficking of the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase in vivo. The techniques may be usefully applied to examining changes in H(+)-K(+)-ATPase synthetic rate in response to various pharmacological treatments and studying the divergent pathways for nascent H(+)-K(+)- and Na(+)-K(+)-ATPases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Superoxide and other free radicals participate in inflammatory bowel disease and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD) scavenges superoxide. Mn SOD is colocalized with reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) diaphorase in some tissues. NADH diaphorase histochemistry selectively stains enteric nerves. The aim of this study was to seek colocalization of Mn SOD with NADH diaphorase in the gut, especially in enteric nerves. METHODS Indirect immunofluorescent staining and histochemistry were used to localize Mn SOD and NADH diaphorase in rat gut. RESULTS Strong Mn SOD immunoreactivity was found in parietal cells, most intramural nerve cell bodies, the colonic interstitial cells of Cajal (at the submucosa-circular muscle layer interface), and intestinal epithelium cells. Weak to moderate Mn SOD immunoreactivity characterized smooth muscle cells, small submucosal arteries, esophageal striated muscle, esophageal epithelium, gastric epithelium, and intestinal glands. NADH diaphorase histochemistry (with Triton X-100) resulted in identical staining. CONCLUSIONS Mn SOD and NADH diaphorase are colocalized throughout rat gut with strong activity in enteric nerves and colonic interstitial cells of Cajal.

Abstract
Immunogold labelling of creatine kinase B (BB-CK) and gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase in the parietal cells of the stomach revealed colocalization of these two enzymes on the apical membrane and the membranes of the tubulovesicular system. Upon fractionation of hog parietal cells, a specific fraction of the BB-CK proteins remained associated with the purified vesicles, in which gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase is highly enriched. The BB-CK present in this highly purified preparation was able to support pronounced H+/K(+)-ATPase activity in K(+)-loaded vesicles in the presence of phosphocreatine and ADP, although only low levels of ATP were measured. In contrast, when pyruvate kinase, phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP were used as an ATP-generating system to sustain similar levels of H+/K(+)-ATPase activity, ATP levels were more than 10-fold higher. Changing the experimental conditions such that ATP levels were the same for both systems resulted in significantly elevated H+/K(+)-ATPase activities in the BB-CK/phosphocreatine system in comparison with the pyruvate kinase/phosphoenolpyruvate system. These results indicate that gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase has preferential access to ATP generated by creatine kinase co-localized on the membranes of the vesicles.

Abstract
We examined the effects of gastrin and histamine on rat gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase, the enzyme responsible for H+ secretion, gene expression in vivo. Gastrin 17 (G 17) or histamine dihydrochloride (histamine) was continuously infused through the femoral vein of anesthetized rats. Gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase mRNA levels were measured using northern blot analysis. Infusion of G 17 and histamine increased the H+/K(+)-ATPase mRNA level significantly compared with basal control level or vehicle control level (P < 0.01). However, pretreatment with famotidine, a potent histamine-2 (H2)-receptor antagonist, inhibited the increase of rat gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase mRNA following G 17 and histamine infusion. These findings indicate that both histamine and G 17 increase expression of H+/K(+)-ATPase mRNA by activating H2 receptor on the parietal cell.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The parietal cell specific protein H+/K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase H+/K(+)-ATPase) is responsible for gastric acid secretion in adult mammals; however, its ontogeny and role in fetal acid secretion are unknown. The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to determine the ontogeny of gastric acid secretion and parietal cell H+/K(+)-ATPase expression in the fetal rabbit and (2) to determine the role of H+K(+)-ATPase in fetal acid secretion. METHODS For the ontogeny studies 88 fetuses from nine time-mated rabbits were studied at successive gestational ages. Gastric fluid and amniotic fluid pH were measured, and total gastric acid was determined by titration. Gastric microsomal protein was analyzed by Western blot analysis for H+/K(+)-ATPase expression by using a monoclonal antibody to the 94 kd alpha-catalytic subunit. To determine the role of H+/K(+)-ATPase in fetal acid secretion, 37 fetuses at day 26 from four time-mated rabbits were treated with (1) omeprazole (20 mg/kg) injection into the amniotic sac (n = 13), (2) carrier injection (n = 12), or (3) no injection (n = 12). Fetal gastric pH and titratable acid were measured at day 28. RESULTS Amniotic fluid pH was neutral (7.44 to 7.64) throughout the third trimester. Gastric fluid pH was neutral (7.42 to 7.51) until day 25, when it decreased to 7.16 +/- 0.23 (p < 0.05) and subsequently fell to 5.37 +/- 0.05 by day 30. Titratable gastric acid (micromoles) increased from 0 at day 20 to 54.7 +/- 5.4 by day 30. By use of Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry, gastric microsomal H+/K(+)-ATPase expression was absent from days 20 through 25 of gestation and first detectable at day 26, with qualitative increases to term. Omeprazole significantly inhibited pH (5.45 +/- 0.13 in controls, 5.56 +/- 0.12 with carrier injection, and 6.01 +/- 0.10 with omeprazole injection; p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that (1) gastric acid acid secretion begins at day 25 of gestation and increases to term, (2) gastric microsomal H+/K(+)-ATPase expression is first detectable at day 26 of gestation, and (3) omeprazole inhibits, but does not abolish, gastric acid secretion in the fetal rabbit. We conclude that gastric acid secretion is present before birth in the fetal rabbit and is mediated, in part, by omeprazole-sensitive H+/K(+)-ATPase.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to follow the effect of nitric oxide (NO) on carbonic anhydrase in vitro and in vivo. The effect of L-arginine (as source of NO), as well as that of its analogue, nitro-G-monomethyl-L-arginine, an inhibitor of NO synthesis on carbonic anhydrase, were also studied. In vitro results showed that L-arginine activates carbonic anhydrase, while N-G-monomethyl-L-arginine does not modify its activity. In vivo, L-arginine and N-G-monomethyl-L-arginine increased carbonic anhydrase activity by 72% and, 160% respectively. Administration of L-arginine, as a source of NO, and of acetazolamide before administration of N-G-monomethyl-L-arginine abolished the activating effect of the analogue on carbonic anhydrase. These results lead to the conclusion that inhibition of NO synthesis by N-G-monomethyl-L-arginine induces increase of carbonic anhydrase activity. The data also suggest that NO biosynthetized from L-arginine inhibits carbonic anhydrase.

Abstract
Biologically active amidated gastrin is synthesized by carboxyl-terminal alpha-amidation of a glycine-extended progastrin post-translational processing intermediate (G-Gly). Although plasma levels of G-Gly are equivalent to those of gastrin, G-Gly has essentially no acute effect on gastric acid secretion. However, we have observed that inhibition of gastrin amidation leads to increased plasma concentrations of G-Gly and enhanced gastric acid secretion. We hypothesized, therefore, that G-Gly might have a chronic effect to increase H+,K(+)-ATPase expression in gastric parietal cells. In the present studies, we observed that a 2-day preincubation with G-Gly significantly enhanced histamine-stimulated [14C]aminopyrine uptake by isolated canine gastric parietal cells but acutely administered G-Gly had no effect. On Northern blot analysis, both G-Gly and gastrin dose-dependently increased H+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit gene expression with maximal induction (225 +/- 35 and 170 +/- 29% of basal, mean +/- S.E.) achieved at concentrations of 10(-9) M G-Gly and 10(-8) M gastrin, respectively. Using an H+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit gene-luciferase chimeric reporter construct transfected into primary cultured parietal cells, we observed that both G-Gly and gastrin increased luciferase activity in a manner similar to that obtained by Northern blot analysis. L365,260, a specific gastrin/CCKB receptor antagonist, completely reversed the stimulation of luciferase activity induced by gastrin but had no effect on G-Gly-stimulated activity. Gastrin increased [Ca2+]i, although G-Gly did not, however, genistein (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor) significantly reduced induction of luciferase activity by both G-Gly and gastrin. Specific binding of 125I-Leu15-G2-17-Gly to gastric parietal cells was dose-dependently displaced by G2-17-Gly but not by gastrin nor L365,260. Gastrin peptides truncated at the carboxyl- (G1-13) and amino terminus (G5-17-Gly) both induced H+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit gene expression and inhibited 125I-Leu15-G2-17-Gly binding, but were less potent than G2-17-Gly. These data indicate that G-Gly may have a functional role in potentiating gastric acid secretagogue action via enhanced expression of the gene responsible for H+ generation through action at a novel receptor that can be distinguished from the gastrin/CCKB receptor. Thus, both the substrate and product of the terminal progastrin processing reaction appear to have complementary functions in regulation of gastric acid secretion.

Abstract
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its conjugates persist in the rat brain, for up to 1 month after ablation of both adrenals and gonads. Since DHEA synthesis in brain from pregnenolone (PREG) was excluded, we have considered other tissular sources including the digestive tract. In situ hybridization with specific oligonucleotide probes showed that the parietal cells of the gastric mucosa, contrary to other cell types, strongly expressed P450(17) alpha messenger RNA. Expression of the enzyme in the parietal cells was confirmed by immunocytochemistry with specific antibodies. An intense reaction was observed in the stomach of adult males and of cyclic or pregnant females. Access to food did not influence the intensity of immunostaining. It appeared at postnatal days 16-21, then the number of positive cells increased rapidly and leveled off at adult age. Parietal cells were released by pronase digestion of everted stomachs from adult male and female rats and were purified by density gradient centrifugation on Nycodenz. 5 x 10(4) to 1.6 x 10(6) cells were incubated with either 1 microM 14C-PREG or 14C-progesterone (14C-PROG) at 37 C under 95% O2-5% CO2, for 10-180 min. PREG was converted to 17-OH PREG and to androstenediol, whereas PROG was converted to 17-OH PROG and to testosterone. Only minute amounts of either DHEA or androstenedione, respectively, were detected at any incubation time, indicating their fast conversion to the corresponding 17 beta-hydroxysteroids. 3H-25-OH cholesterol was not metabolized to 3H-PREG, and 14C-PREG was not converted to 14C-PROG, in accordance with negative immunocytochemical results with antibodies to cytochrome P450scc and 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase delta 5-->4-isomerase (3 beta-HSD). In conclusion, the parietal cells, which are known as the source of gastric acid secretion, can synthesize testosterone from PROG and androstenediol from PREG. The physiological relevance of such conversions remains to be established.

Abstract
Based on clinical studies, a negative association between Helicobacter pylori and autoimmune corpus gastritis is described. In the present investigation of an unselected population of 1461 adults we can state, however, that there exists a relationship between H. pylori infection and the development of gastric corpus autoimmunity. As confirmation for the gastric autoantibody development through molecular mimicry, a high homology (72% in 25 amino acid overlap) between the beta subunit of H. pylori urease and that of H + K + ATPase, the gastric parietal cell autoantigen, was revealed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS H+,K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase (H+,K(+)-ATPase) of parietal cells is an organ-specific enzyme recognized by autoantibodies found in human and murine autoimmune gastritis (AIG). Murine AIG can be induced in BALB/c mice by thymectomy 3 days after birth and is a T cell-mediated disease. This study examined the specificity of T cells that cause AIG and the role of H+,K(+)-ATPase in this disease. METHODS From an AIG mouse, a gastritogenic T-cell clone (II-6) was established, and its reactivity to synthetic peptides of H+,K(+)-ATPase was tested. RESULTS II-6 cells are CD4+, V beta 14+, and interferon gamma producers. Adoptive transfer of II-6 cells to syngeneic nude mice resulted in AIG without the production of autoantibodies to parietal cells. The II-6 cells were responsive not only to murine but also to human and porcine parietal cells. Their proliferation was also induced by amino acids 891-905 (alpha 891) and 892-906 (alpha 892) of the alpha subunit of porcine and human H+,K(+)-ATPase, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The T-cell response to a single epitope of H+,K(+)-ATPase, the amino acid sequence of which is conserved among at least three mammals tested, is sufficient to cause AIG. Autoantibodies to parietal cells are not detected in these AIG mice.

Abstract
To evaluate whether the general trophic effect of gastrin on the oxyntic mucosa is an indirect effect mediated by histamine H2 receptors, sustained 24 hour hypergastrinaemia was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by treatment with the long acting and potent histamine H2 antagonist loxtidine for five months. The trophic effect was assessed by weight, enumeration of total mucosal cells, parietal cells, and enterochromaffin like cells in smears stained for the actual cells after enzymatic dispersion of the mucosa, and by biochemical analysis of oxyntic mucosal homogenates. The weight of the whole stomach and the oxyntic mucosa increased by 12.7% (p = 0.016) and 27.5% (p = 0.006), respectively. Total oxyntic mucosal protein content increased by 28.7% (p = 0.058). Total numbers of mucosal cells and parietal cells increased by 11.9% (NS) and 24.1% (NS), respectively. The amount of the parietal cell specific enzyme H+,K(+)-ATPase was unchanged. On the other hand, the number of enterochromaffin like cells and related parameters, histidine decarboxylase activity and histamine content of the oxyntic mucosa, showed a pronounced and significant increase. It is concluded that the general trophic effect of gastrin on the oxyntic mucosa is not mediated by the histamine H2 receptor. The tropic effect of gastrin on the parietal cell seems, in contrast with that on the enterochromaffin like cell, not to be specific but only reflecting the general trophic effect on the oxyntic mucosa.

Abstract
An antibody was prepared against a peptide corresponding to residues 1024-1034 (the putative C-terminus) of the alpha-subunit of hog gastric H+,K(+)-ATPase. The antibody bound to a 95 kDa band of H+,K(+)-ATPase that was solubilized in SDS, but not to that of Na+,K(+)-ATPase. It also bound to products of tryptic digestion that included C-terminal fragments of the H+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit. The same amount of the antibody bound to both intact (tight) and lyophilized (leaky) inside-out gastric vesicles, indicating that its epitope is present on the cytosolic side of the vesicles. This finding was further confirmed by using fluorescence-immunolocalization techniques and streptolysin-O to permeabilize newt oxyntic cells. Stimulation of isolated newt oxyntic cells with dibutyryl cyclic AMP induces fusion of tubulovesicles with the apical membrane, so that the luminal domains of the H+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit directly face the cell-suspension medium. The antibody did not bind to the stimulated intact cell, but bound to cells permeabilized with streptolysin-O, indicating that it binds from the cytoplasmic side to the C-terminus of the H+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit in apical and tubulovesicular membrane, and also that the H+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit has an even number of transmembrane domains.

Abstract
The initial reaction velocities (vi) of lactate dehydrogenase in hepatocytes, cardiac muscle fibres, skeletal (gastrocnemius) muscle fibres, gastric parietal cells, ductal epithelial and acinar cells of the parotid gland, and oocytes were determined, by computer-assisted image analysis, in unfixed sections of these tissues incubated at 37 degrees C on substrate-containing agarose gel films. They were found to fit the equations vi = a1 zero A (equation 1) and vi-v = a2 zero A (equation 2) reported previously for mouse hepatocytes (Nakae & Stoward, 1993a, b), where v and zero A are, respectively, the gradients (or steady-state velocities) and the intercepts on the absorbance axis of the linear regression lines of the absorbance (A) of the final reaction product on incubation times between 1 and 3 min, and a1 and a2 are constants. Both equations 1 and 2 fitted the observed vi closely for mouse (a1 = 2.7, a2 = 2.2) and human (a1 = 3.0, a2 = 1.9) hepatocytes. However, equation 2 fitted the observed vi better than equation 1 for mouse cardiac muscle fibres (a1 = 1.5), skeletal muscle fibres (a2 = 1.2), gastric parietal cells (a2 = 1.7), acinar (a2 = 1.4) and striated ductal (a2 = 2.2) epithelial cells of the parotid gland, and oocytes (a2 = 1.6). The values of vi calculated from the two equations agreed with the observed vi to within about 11%. They ranged from 105 mumole hydrogen equivalents/cm3 cell/min units in hepatocytes to 24 units in parotid acinar cells, but for other cell types they were between 46 and 61 units. These are all considerably higher than values reported previously.

Abstract
The kinetics of lactate dehydrogenase in mouse cardiac muscle fibres, skeletal muscle fibres, gastric parietal cells, parotid gland ductal and acinar cells, oocytes and mouse and human hepatocytes were studied as a function of substrate concentration in sections of unfixed mouse and human tissues incubated at 37 degrees C on lactate agarose gel films. The absorbances of the final reaction products deposited in single cells of various types were measured continuously as a function of incubation time using an image analysis system. The initial velocities (vi) of the dehydrogenase were calculated from two equations deduced previously by us, vi = a1 zero A (equation 1) and vi = v + a2 zero A (equation 2), where v and zero A are, respectively, the gradient (steady-state velocity) and intercept of the linear regression line of absorbance on time for incubation times between 1 and 3 min, and a1 and a2 are constants characteristic for each cell type. Hanes plots using vi calculated from equation 2 gave more consistent estimates of the Michaelis constant (Km) and the maximum reaction velocity (Vmax) than those employing either steady-state velocity measurements or vi calculated from equation 1. The Km thus found for mouse skeletal muscle fibres (10.4-12.5 mM) and hepatocytes (14.3-16.7 mM) agreed well with values determined previously in biochemical assays. However, the Km for cardiac muscle fibres (13.4 mM) was higher. The Km of the enzyme in gastric parietal cells, parotid gland cells and oocytes was in the range 7.6-9.7 mM.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Parietal cell morphology was studied after chronic inhibition of gastric H(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) by omeprazole. Gastric mucosa from rabbits treated with omeprazole every 12 h (1 mg/kg sc) for 5 days were compared with sham-injected animals using immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. Three immunocytochemical markers, including antibodies against the alpha- and beta-subunits of the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase, showed that some parietal cells in omeprazole-treated rabbits displayed light areas and granularity in their cytoplasm. These abnormalities were also apparent in semithin sections. Electron microscopy was used to categorize and quantitate the specific structural abnormalities in parietal cells. Cells were classified as normal, altered, or degenerated. For control tissues, altered and degenerated parietal cells were few; they collectively represented 6% of total parietal cells and were located mainly deep in the gland base. For omeprazole-treated tissues, altered and degenerated parietal cells occurred throughout the gland and averaged 62% of total parietal cells. In addition, macrophages invaded the mucosa presumably to eliminate degenerated cells. Although there was an increase in parietal cell degeneration, enhanced parietal cell generation was suggested by increases in mitosis among proliferative cells and, more specifically, in the number of preparietal cells. After 3 days of recovery from the omeprazole regimen, parietal cells and the gastric mucosa appeared to recover the normal morphology. In conclusion, blocking H(+)-K(+)-ATPase by omeprazole enhances degeneration and macrophage-mediated elimination of parietal cells and also causes an increase in preparietal cell production. Thus omeprazole temporarily changes the dynamic features of parietal cells in the rabbit to make them die early and grow fast.

Abstract
The H+,K(+)-ATPase member of the phosphorylating ion motive ATPases is composed of two subunits, a large alpha-subunit composed of about 1030 amino acids and a smaller beta-subunit consisting of about 290 amino acids. By biochemical and immunological methods both subunits have been found in high abundance in the gastric parietal cell. In the present study in situ hybridization was used for localizing and comparing concentrations of the mRNA for the two subunits in the gastric epithelium. For this purpose 3H-labelled probes were preferred. Hybridization was detected only in the parietal cells. The older parietal cells in the bottom of the mucosa gave a weaker hybridization signal than the younger parietal cells closer to the surface. The margin of experimental ulcers, where the parietal cells are of low differentiation, showed very weak, if any, hybridization. The differences observed in hybridization densities may reflect differences in mRNA synthesis or stability. It is conceivable that older parietal cells, as well as parietal cells of low differentiation, produce relatively small amounts of H+,K(+)-ATPase.

Abstract
mRNAs for novel DNA-binding proteins (GATA-GT1 and GATA-GT2) recognizing the (G/C)PuPu(G/C)NGAT(A/T)PuPy sequence and H+/K(+)-ATPase (proton pump) alpha subunit were detected in parietal cells of the rat gastric body mucosa by in situ hybridization. These results suggest that GATA-GT1 and GATA-GT2 together with H+/K(+)-ATPase are transcribed specifically in gastric parietal cells and that the two DNA-binding proteins may have important roles in cell specific gene regulation. Furthermore, we could detect parietal cells in different states of gene expression.

Abstract
Transglutaminases catalyze the covalent cross-linking of protein and are involved in the mechanism of polyamine-dependent mucosal healing. The current study examined the effect of polyamines on transglutaminase activity in gastrointestinal mucosa. Rats were fasted 22 hr before experiments and enzyme activity was measured as the Ca(++)-dependent covalent incorporation of [3H]-putrescine into acid-precipitable protein. In some of the experiments, mucosal ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and polyamine levels were also examined. Transglutaminase activity in both gastric and duodenal mucosa increased significantly after polyamine administration. Treatment with alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) decreased both basal ODC activity and putrescine levels in the duodenal mucosa. DFMO also significantly decreased mucosal transglutaminase activity. In stress or hypertonic NaCl-induced gastric mucosal injury models, increased polyamine biosynthesis was associated with increased transglutaminase activity, which was completely prevented by DFMO. Exogenous polyamines returned transglutaminase activity toward control levels in the presence of DFMO. In conclusion, these results indicate that: (i) luminal polyamines increase transglutaminase activity in gastric and duodenal mucosa; (ii) polyamine depletion caused by the inhibition of ODC is accompanied by a significant decrease in transglutaminase activity; and (iii) exogenous polyamines significantly reverse the decrease in transglutaminase activity caused by polyamine depletion.

Abstract
We examined the role of intracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD) as an antioxidant by studying the effect of diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC) on extracellular H2O2-induced damage in cultured rat gastric mucosal cells. 51Cr-labeled monolayers from rat stomachs were exposed to glucose oxidase-generated H2O2 or reagent H2O2, which both caused a dose-dependent increase in 51Cr release. DDC dose-dependently enhanced 51Cr release by hydrogen peroxide, corresponding with inhibition of endogenous SOD activity. This inhibition was not associated either with modulation of other antioxidant defenses, or with potentiation of injury by nonoxidant toxic agents. Enhanced hydrogen peroxide damage by DDC was significantly prevented by chelating cellular iron with deferoxamine or phenanthroline. Inhibition of cellular xanthine oxidase (possible source of superoxide production) by oxypurinol neither prevented lysis by hydrogen peroxide nor diminished DDC-induced sensitization to H2O2. We conclude that (a) extracellular H2O2 induces dose dependent damage to cultured gastric mucosal cells; (b) intracellular SOD plays an important role in preventing H2O2 damage; (c) generation of superoxide seems to occur intracellularly after exposure to H2O2, but independent of cellular xanthine oxidase; and (d) cellular iron mediates the damage by catalyzing the production of more reactive species from superoxide and H2O2, the process which causes ultimate cell injury.

Abstract
Gastric hydrogen-potassium ATPase (H+,K(+)-ATPase) is a heterodimeric protein which participates in the formation of hydrochloric acid. We cloned canine H+,K(+)-ATPase alpha and beta subunit cDNAs from canine gastric cDNA libraries and the alpha subunit gene from a canine genomic library. The alpha subunit gene is 13 kb in length and contains 21 introns ranging from 77 to 1,076 bp. Its 5'-flanking region contains putative regulatory motifs for transcription that are similar to those found in H+,K(+)-ATPase genes from other species. The open reading frames of alpha and beta subunit cDNAs are 3,500 and 870 bp in length and encode proteins of 1,034 and 290 amino acids, respectively. They are 80-90% homologous to corresponding cDNAs previously identified in porcine and rodent gastric tissues.

Abstract
Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, dose-dependently inhibited pepsinogen secretion as well as acid secretion in the rat glandular stomach. The reduction in the secretion was rapid and was followed by a decrease in the mRNA levels. The inhibitory effect of omeprazole on pepsinogen secretion and its effect on the mRNA level showed similar dose-response relationship, suggesting that pepsinogen secretion and the gene expression are regulated coordinately. Consistent with the reduction in the mRNA levels, protein synthesis was reduced. However, intracellular stores of pepsinogen increased in pepsinogen-producing cells, indicating that the inhibitory effect of omeprazole on pepsinogen secretion is greater than on its synthesis. Reducing the secretion, synthesis and gene expression of pepsinogen, omeprazole has a potent effect on pepsinogen-producing cells in vivo, as well as on parietal cells, in the rat glandular stomach.

Abstract
The role of physicochemical factors, electronic and hydrophobic, and a hydrogen donor index in the inhibition of gastric (H+/K+)-ATPase by 4-phenyl-2-guanidinothiazoles and the 4-indolyl-2-guanidinothiazoles has been quantitatively analysed. For the first congeneric series, the resonance effect of the ortho- and para-substituents and hydrogen donor property of the meta-substituent in the phenyl ring play crucial role, whereas for 4-indolyl analogues, the hydrophobicity and electron withdrawing effect of X-substituents in the indolyl ring are shown to be important decisive factors. Also the substitution of the guanidine moiety, e.g. by benzyl, raises the activity of proton pump inhibitors. The substitution at 5-position of thiazole ring does not enhance the potency.

Abstract
Several antibodies against the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase were analysed for the topological and sequence location of their epitopes. Topological mapping was done by comparing indirect immunofluorescent staining in intact and permeabilised rat parietal cells. Epitope definition was by Western analysis of intact and of trypsin or V8-proteinase-fragmented hog gastric ATPase combined with N-terminal sequencing of the fragments; by Western analysis of fragments of rabbit alpha subunit expressed in Escherichia coli; by analysis of rabbit alpha and beta subunits expressed in baculovirus-transfected SF 9 cells and by ELISA assay of synthetic octamers of one region of the hog alpha subunit. It was confirmed that the monoclonal antibody, mAb 95-111, recognised a cytoplasmic region between M4 and M5, close to the ATP-binding domain. The major epitope for monoclonal antibody mAb 12-18 was also in this region, but a second epitope was confirmed to be present in the M7/M8 region. The monoclonal antibody, mAb 146-14, was shown to recognise an extracytoplasmic epitope dependent on intact disulfide bonds, present in the rat and the rabbit, but absent in the hog beta subunit, due to non-conservative amino-acid substitutions. This antibody also recognised an epitope present in the alpha subunit of the H+/K(+)-ATPase at the M7 extracytoplasmic interface, perhaps indicating structural association of these two regions. The polyclonal antibody, pAb39, raised against the C-terminal portion of the enzyme, reacted only with the cytoplasmic surface of the H+/K(+)-ATPase, showing that the alpha subunit of the enzyme has an even number of membrane spanning segments.
