Abstract
The recent progress in therapy if acid disease has relied heavily on the performance of drugs targeted against the H,K ATPase of the stomach and the H2 receptor antagonists. It has become apparent in the last decade that the proton pump is the target that has the likelihood of being the most sustainable area of therapeutic application in the regulation of acid suppression. The process of activation of acid secretion requires a change in location of the ATPase from cytoplasmic tubules into the microvilli of the secretory canaliculus of the parietal cell. Stimulation of the resting parietal cell, with involvement of F-actin and ezrin does not use significant numbers of SNARE proteins, because their message is depleted in the pure parietal cell transcriptome. The cell morphology and gene expression suggest a tubule fusion-eversion event. As the active H,K ATPase requires efflux of KCl for activity we have, using the transcriptome derived from 99% pure parietal cells and immunocytochemistry, provided evidence that the KCl pathway is mediated by a KCQ1/KCNE2 complex for supplying K and CLIC6 for supplying the accompanying Cl. The pump has been modeled on the basis of the structures of different conformations of the sr Ca ATPase related to the catalytic cycle. These models use the effects of site directed mutations and identification of the binding domain of the K competitive acid pump antagonists or the defined site of binding for the covalent class of proton pump inhibitors. The pump undergoes conformational changes associated with phosphorylation to allow the ion binding site to change exposure from cytoplasmic to luminal exposure. We have been able to postulate that the very low gastric pH is achieved by lysine 791 motion extruding the hydronium ion bound to carboxylates in the middle of the membrane domain. These models also allow description of the K entry to form the K liganded form of the enzyme and the reformation of the ion site inward conformation thus relating the catalytic cycle of the pump to conformational models. The mechanism of action of the proton pump inhibitor class of drug is discussed along with the cysteines covalently bound with these inhibitors. The review concludes with a discussion of the mechanism of action and binding regions of a possible new class of drug for acid control, the K competitive acid pump antagonists.

Abstract
Cryofixation is currently accepted as the best initial fixation step to preserve not only the fine structure but also the antigenicity of biological samples. To elucidate the functional transformation of gastric parietal cells, we have newly developed an in vitro experimental model, named the isolated gastric mucosa. In this study, acid secretion of the parietal cell was stimulated with histamine or inhibited with cimetidine, and the samples were cryofixed by plunge freezing for light microscopy or high-pressure freezing for electron microscopy. As a result, the organization of glandular cells was well-preserved and quite similar to freshly excised rat gastric mucosa for at least 2 h after isolation. Immunohistochemistry of H+/K+-ATPase demonstrated a translocation of H+/K+-ATPase from the cytoplasm to the apical membrane associated with histamine-stimulation. In cimetidine-treated mucosa, most of the parietal cells were morphologically in the resting state, showing numerous tubulovesicles in their cytoplasm. In contrast, histamine-stimulated parietal cells exhibited well-developed intracellular canaliculi lined with long microvilli. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is first to demonstrate an electron micrograph that strongly suggests a membrane fusion between the tubulovescile and the apical membrane. Moreover, a stimulation-associated translocation of ezrin was clearly shown from the cytoplasm to the apical region, corresponding to apical microvilli development in the isolated gastric mucosa model. We here describe the preparation of the isolated rat gastric mucosa model, which provides new insights into the functional transformation of parietal cells by the application of cryotechniques.

Abstract
High-pressure freezing (HPF) is currently the most reliable method to obtain an adequately frozen sample for high-resolution morphological evaluation. Here we applied the HPF technique to isolated rabbit gastric glands to reveal structural evidence that may be correlated with functional activity of gastric parietal cells. This approach provided well-preserved fine structure and excellent antigenicity of several parietal cell proteins. Microtubules were abundant in the cytoplasm and frequently appeared to be associating with tubulovesicles. Interestingly, many electron-dense coated vesicles were apparent around the intracellular canaliculi (IC) of resting parietal cells, consistent with active membrane retrieval from the apical membranes. Immunolabeling of H+/K+-ATPase was evident on the endocytic components (e.g., multivesicular bodies) and tubulovesicles. After histamine stimulation, the parietal cells characteristically showed expanded IC membranes with varied features of their apical microvilli. The labeling density of H+/K+-ATPase was four-fold higher on the IC membrane of stimulated parietal cells than on that of resting parietal cells. Immunolabeling of ezrin was clearly identified on the IC and basolateral membranes of parietal cells, corresponding to their F-actin-rich sites. The present findings provide a new insight into the correlation of cell structure and function in gastric parietal cells.

Abstract
Rho is known as an important regulator of actin microfilament formation. We were led to study it because a dynamic rearrangement of actin filaments occurs during activation of gastric acid secretion. In order to use specific probes, the rabbit gastric gland culture system was employed and the various genes were expressed using adenovirus vector. When the constitutive active mutant of Rho (RhoAV14) was expressed, histamine- or carbachol-stimulated acid secretion monitored by (14)C-aminopyrine accumulation was inhibited. Conversely, expression of C3 toxin, the specific inhibitor of Rho, and expression of G(12/13)-specific regulator of G-protein signaling domain, the specific inhibitor of G(12/13) which is considered to be an upstream mediator of Rho, both potentiated acid secretion stimulated by the agonists. F-actin staining of parietal cell expressing RhoAV14 revealed that the microfilament supporting the intracellular canaliculi (not on the basolateral membrane) almost disappeared. No clear changes in the intracellular localization of Rho were observed during stimulation of parietal cell. In resting glands, the endogenous active form of Rho was relatively high, and it decreased during histamine stimulation. The finding that any treatment which inhibit Rho augment acid secretion whereas those that activate Rho inhibit secretion strongly suggests that the Rho-pathway conducts a negatively regulating signal in parietal cell activation, possibly via site-specific regulation of actin microfilaments.

Abstract
Submandibular glands of the hamster were irradiated in 2% paraformaldehyde (pFA)-0.5% pure glutaraldehyde (PGA) with a microwave (MW) processor at temperatures of 10 degrees and 37 degrees C. Electron microscopy showed that cytochrome oxidase activity was taking place in the mitochondrial intermembrane-intracristal space of the granular duct cell when the temperature of the MW-irradiated fixatives was at 10 degrees C. However, a decrease of this activity was observed when we took care to keep the temperature of the MW-irradiated fixatives at 37 degrees C. The distinct reduction of cytochrome oxidase activity allowed by MW irradiation seems to be due the thermal affects of fixatives. Of course, the possibility cannot be excluded that MW irradiation caused other undetectable membrane damage. Then, we used confocal laser scanning microscopy for the preservation check of the mitochondrial membrane for cytochemistry with MW-irradiated fixation. The fluorescence of rhodamine 123 was observed in the inner spaces of the mitochondria at temperatures of 10 degrees and 37 degrees C. When the same tissues were fixed with 2% pFA using an MW processor as the sole fixative at 10 degrees C, no mitochondrial fluorescence was observed. Cytochrome oxidase activity, by contrast, could be seen in the mitochondrial intermembrane-intracristal spaces in the same condition. Formaldehyde is not the best aldehyde for the purpose of ultrastructural preservation. On the other hand, light and electron microscopy showed that the endogenous peroxidase activity was localized in the nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, secretory granules, and Golgi apparatus of the hamster submandibular gland using 2% pFA-0.5% PGA fixative with and without MW irradiations at temperatures of 10 degrees and 37 degrees C. Some of the same cells were fixed with only 2% pFA under MW irradiation at 10 degrees C; however, marked diffuseness of the peroxidase activity was observed. Therefore, these results indicated that cytochrome oxidase activity was sensitive to heat with MW-irradiated fixation. Peroxidase activity was very resistant to heat with MW-irradiated fixation but not with pFA solo fixation, therefore, PGA had to be used.

Abstract
There is general agreement that stimulation and consequent secretion of gastric parietal cells result in a great expansion of the apical canalicular membrane at the expense of an extensive intracellular network of membranes rich in the gastric proton pump (H,K-ATPase). However, there is ongoing controversy as to the precise nature of the intracellular membrane network,conventionally called tubulovesicles. At the heart of this controversy lies the question of whether tubulovesicles are a distinct membrane compartment or whether they are continuous with the apical plasma membrane.To address this controversy we used high-pressure, rapid freezing techniques to fix non-stimulated (resting) rabbit gastric glands for electron microscopy. Ultra-thin (60-70 nm) serial sections were used for conventional TEM; 400-500 nm sections were used for tomography. Images were digitized and models constructed using Midas and Imod software(http://bio3d.colorado.edu). Images were aligned and contours drawn on specific cellular structures. The contours from a stack of serial sections were arranged into objects and meshed into 3D structures. For resting parietal cells our findings are as follows:(1) The apical canaliculus is a microvilli-decorated, branching membrane network that extends into and throughout the parietal cell. This agrees well with a host of previous studies. (2) The plentiful mitochondria form an extensive reticular network throughout the cytoplasm. This has not previously been reported for the parietal cell, and the significance of this observation and the dynamics of the mitochondrial network remain unknown. (3)H,K-ATPase-rich membranes do include membrane tubules and vesicles; however,the tubulovesicular compartment is chiefly comprised of small stacks of cisternae. Thus a designation of tubulocisternae seems appropriate; however,in the resting cell there are no continuities between the apical canaliculus and the tubulocisternae or between tubulocisternae. These data support the recruitment-recycling model of parietal cell stimulation.

Abstract
1. Cibenzoline, (+/-)-2-(2,2-diphenylcyclopropyl-2-imidazoline succinate, has been clinically used as one of the Class I type antiarrhythmic agents and also reported to block ATP-sensitive K(+) channels in excised membranes from heart and pancreatic beta cells. In the present study, we investigated if this drug inhibited gastric H(+),K(+)-ATPase activity in vitro. 2. Cibenzoline inhibited H(+),K(+)-ATPase activity of permeabilized leaky hog gastric vesicles in a concentration-dependent manner (IC(50): 201 microM), whereas no effect was shown on Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity of dog kidney (IC(50): >1000 microM). Similarly, cibenzoline inhibited H(+),K(+)-ATPase activity of HEK-293 cells (human embryonic kidney cell line) co-transfected with rabbit gastric H(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha- and beta-subunit cDNAs (IC(50): 183 microM). 3. In leaky gastric vesicles, inhibition of H(+),K(+)-ATPase activity by cibenzoline was attenuated by the addition of K(+) (0.5 - 5 mM) in a concentration-dependent manner. The Lineweaver-Burk plot of the H(+),K(+)-ATPase activity shows that cibenzoline increases K(m) value for K(+) without affecting V(max), indicating that this drug inhibits H(+),K(+)-ATPase activity competitively with respect to K(+). 4. The inhibitory effect of H(+),K(+)-ATPase activity by cibenzoline with normal tight gastric vesicles did not significantly differ from that with permeabilized leaky gastric vesicles, indicating that this drug reacted to the ATPase from the cytoplasmic side of the membrane. 5. These findings suggest that cibenzoline is an inhibitor of gastric H(+),K(+)-ATPase with a novel inhibition mechanism, which inhibits gastric H(+),K(+)-ATPase by binding its K(+)-recognition site from the cytoplasmic side.

Abstract
The gastric parietal has two characteristic membrane systems. One is the intracellular canaliculus, which is specialized networks of enfolded luminal membrane channels lined with numerous microvilli. The other structures common to all parietal cells are the tubulovesicles or the tubulovesicular membranes, a system of tubules and vesicles. The tubulovesicular compartment is drastically depleted during maximal gastric acid secretion and this is coincident with an increase in the canalicular cell surface membrane. A plausible explanation for this redistribution is the fusion and transfer of tubulovesicular membranes to the plasma membrane. However, for many years there was no convincing evidence of connections between these two membrane systems. The mechanism of the transformation of tubulovesicular membrane into the plasma membrane without demonstrable connections has been an enigma to electron microscopists. Using a recently developed fixation technique for parietal cells [Sugai et al. (1995) Acta Anat Nippon 74:S101], we have investigated the organization of the cytoplasmic membrane systems in the rat resting and tetragastrin stimulated stomachs by ultra-high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Gastric mucosae were microwave-fixed in a cacodylate buffer, (334 milliosmoles/kgH(2)O (mOsm)), to which 1.0% glutaraldehyde and 0.5% formaldehyde were added. Specimens examined by TEM of thin sections revealed the cytoplasm packed with tubular membranes similar to images detected by rapid-freeze/freeze-substitution fixation. To render the cytoplasmic membranes visible by SEM, fixed mucosae were treated by the aldehyde-osmium-DMSO-osmium maceration procedure. With much of the cell matrix and filaments removed, SEM revealed numerous 30-60-nm tubules, which formed a meshwork with small cisternae. Vesicles or isolated tubules were not found in adequately macerated parietal cells. The cytoplasmic surface of the intracellular canaliculus was smooth except for round openings representing the bases of macerated microvilli. In favorable sites, connections of the tubular membranes to the canaliculi were clearly visible. Stereo pair views were particularly useful to demonstrate these continuities. Connections between these two membrane compartments suggest the probability of rapid membrane transposition. In this article, the form and distribution of membrane systems of parietal cells in the resting state and after tetragastrin stimulation will be presented and discussed. Special emphasis is made to demonstrate connections between the tubulovesicular system and the intracellular canaliculus.
