Abstract
Twenty pigs were randomly divided into four groups based on the amount of time spent in transport (zero, one, two or four hours). Pathological examination of all transported pigs showed that exfoliation of chief cells from the gastric surface occurred in pigs during transportation. These results imply that integrity of the gastric mucosa was compromised by damage occurring during the four-hour transportation, despite the fact that gastric ulcers were not present. Levels of Hsp90 expression in stomach tissues were significantly decreased (P<0.01) after two-hour transportation, but Hsp70 levels increased significantly (P<0.05) after one, two and four hours of transportation. Hsp27 levels remained relatively stable independent of the length of transport. Levels of αB-crystallin expression in the stomach were significantly increased (P<0.05) after four hours of transportation. Variations in Hsp90, Hsp70, Hsp27 and αB-crystallin levels suggest that distinct protective functions are modulated by different Hsps in stomach tissues during transportation. Alterations in Hsp70 and αB-crystallin expression appear to be associated with protective functions, as no apparent gastric ulcers were present in pigs that underwent four hours of transportation. Levels of heat shock transcription factor-1, which regulate the expression of Hsps, remained relatively stable independent of the transportation period.

Abstract
A major clinical problem encountered with the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as indomethacin, is gastrointestinal complications. Both NSAID-dependent cyclooxygenase inhibition and gastric mucosal apoptosis are involved in NSAID-produced gastric lesions, and this apoptosis is mediated by the endoplasmic reticulum stress response and resulting activation of Bax. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been suggested to protect gastric mucosa from NSAID-induced lesions; here we have tested this idea genetically. The severity of gastric lesions produced by indomethacin was worse in mice lacking heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), a transcription factor for hsp genes, than in control mice. Indomethacin administration up-regulated the expression of gastric mucosal HSP70. Indomethacin-induced gastric lesions were ameliorated in transgenic mice expressing HSP70. After indomethacin administration, fewer apoptotic cells were observed in the gastric mucosa of transgenic mice expressing HSP70 than in wild-type mice, whereas the gastric levels of prostaglandin E(2) for the two were indistinguishable. This suggests that expression of HSP70 ameliorates indomethacin-induced gastric lesions by affecting mucosal apoptosis. Suppression of HSP70 expression in vitro stimulated indomethacin-induced apoptosis and activation of Bax but not the endoplasmic reticulum stress response. Geranylgeranylacetone induced HSP70 at gastric mucosa in an HSF1-dependent manner and suppressed the formation of indomethacin-induced gastric lesions in wild-type mice but not in HSF1-null mice. The results of this study provide direct genetic evidence that expression of HSP70 confers gastric protection against indomethacin-induced lesions by inhibiting the activation of Bax. The HSP inducing activity of geranylgeranylacetone seems to contribute to its gastroprotective activity against indomethacin.

Abstract
AIMS Several recent studies, including ours, have indicated the importance of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in cytoprotection against cytotoxic agents and environmental stresses mediated by the chaperone function of HSPs (molecular chaperones). However, the target molecule that is recognized by HSPs in damaged cells currently remains unknown. As HSPs rapidly recognize and bind to degenerated protein in cells, target molecules of HSPs might be key molecules for the initiation and pathogenesis of cellular damage. In the present study, gastric mucosal proteins that specifically bind to the HSP70 family (HSC70) were analyzed using HSC70-affinity chromatography. MAIN METHODS The gastric mucosa was removed from Sprague-Dawley rats after exposure to water immersion-stress for 0, 1, 3 or 5 h. Soluble fractions of each gastric mucosa were applied to the HSC70-affinity column separately. After washing off non-specific binding proteins, specific binding proteins were eluted by ATP-containing buffer. Binding proteins were analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In addition, the amino acid sequence of purified proteins was also analyzed. KEY FINDINGS Specific HSC70-binding proteins with a molecular weight of 200-kDa and 45-kDa were eluted from an affinity column when gastric mucosal homogenate of 1-h stress exposure was applied. The amino acid sequencing showed that these binding proteins were cytoskeletal myosin (heavy chain) and actin, respectively. SIGNIFICANCE During the pathogenesis of stress-induced gastric mucosal damage, structurally degenerated cytoskeletal myosin (heavy chain) and actin may be key or initiation molecules which structural changes were firstly recognized by molecular chaperone.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the protective action of rice extract on ethanol-induced mucosal damage in vivo and wound healing of epithelial cells in vitro. Also, the effect of rice extract on gastric mucosal prostaglandin E(2) level, HSP72 expression, gastric acid secretion, and contribution of vanilloid receptor-mediated action was studied. In addition, using cultured gastric mucosal cells (RGM-1), the effect of rice extract on cytoprotection and wound healing of epithelial cells was evaluated. Rice extract significantly reduced gastric mucosal damage produced by ethanol in vivo, and heat treatment (80 degrees C, 3 min) of this agent did not alter its protective effect. Rice extract also protected RGM-1 from ethanol-induced damage in a dose-dependent manner. Rice extract accelerated wound healing of gastric epithelial cells. Our results demonstrate that rice extract could be an alternative ulcer treatment that provides cytoprotection and enhancement of wound healing not dependent on acid secretion, prostaglandin E(2) level, HSP72 expression, or vanilloid receptors.

Abstract
Gastric lesions result from an imbalance between aggressive and defensive factors. Indirect lines of evidence suggest that heat shock proteins (HSPs) induced by various aggressive factors provide a major protective mechanism. In this study, we compared gastric ulcerogenic response in wild-type mice and in those lacking heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), a transcription factor for hsp genes. The severity of gastric lesions induced by ethanol or hydrochloric acid was worsened in HSF1-null mice. Immunoblotting, real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemical analysis, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling assay revealed that the ethanol administration up-regulated gastric mucosal HSPs, in particular HSP70, in an HSF1-dependent manner, and more apoptotic cells were observed in the gastric mucosa of HSF1-null mice than in wild-type mice. In contrast, other parameters governing the gastric ulcerogenic response, including gastric acid secretion, gastric mucosal blood flow, and prostaglandin E(2) levels, were not significantly affected by the absence of the hsf1 gene. Geranylgeranylacetone (GGA), a clinically used antiulcer drug with HSP-inducing activity, suppressed ethanol-induced gastric lesions in wild-type mice but not in heat shock factor 1 (HSF1)-null mice. The results suggest that the aggravation of irritant-induced gastric lesions in HSF1-null mice is due to their inability to up-regulate HSPs, leading to apoptosis. It is also suggested that the HSP-inducing activity of GGA contributes to the drug's antiulcer activity. This study provides direct genetic evidence that HSPs, after their HSF1-dependent up-regulation, confer gastric protection against the irritant-induced lesions.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effects of zinc L-carnosine, an anti-ulcer drug, on acetic acid-induced colonic mucosal injury and the correlation of these effects with expression of 72-kDa heat shock proteins (HSP72) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) activation in rat colonic mucosa in vivo. After intrarectal administration of zinc L-carnosine, the rats received intrarectal infusion of 5% acetic acid (1 ml). The colonic mucosal damage was evaluated by macroscopic assessments 24 h after the intrarectal infusion of acetic acid. Expression of HSP72 in rat colonic mucosa was evaluated by Western blot analysis before and after zinc L-carnosine administration. NF-kappaB activation was evaluated by electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA). Zinc L-carnosine inhibited visible damage in rat colonic mucosa by acetic acid. Expression of HSP72 was significantly increased at 6 h after zinc L-carnosine administration. Furthermore, NF-kappaB activation in colonic mucosa was suppressed 6 h after zinc L-carnosine treatment. These results suggested that zinc L-carnosine protects the colonic mucosa against acetic acid by induction of HSP72 and suppression of NF-kappaB activation and zinc L-carnosine may be a novel therapeutic agent for the therapy of inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The real mechanism of adaptive cytoprotection in the gastric mucosa is not well established. In the present study, we investigated the effect of acid suppressing agents on a 72-kDa heat shock protein (HSP72) expression, which is known as endogenous cytoprotective factor, in the gastric mucosa. Also, the association of gastric mucosal protective function against HCl-challenge was compared between HSP72-induced and -reduced group. MATERIALS AND METHODS Expression of HSP72 was measured by Western blotting in the gastric mucosa before and after administration of famotidine or omeprazole. The gastric mucosal protective function against 0.6 N HCl was compared between control group and HSP72-reduced group. Also, the effect of increased expression of gastric HSP72 by additional administration of zinc sulfate or zinc L-carnosine, which is known as HSP72-inducer, on mucosal protective function was studied. RESULTS HSP72 expression in the gastric mucosa was reduced by acid suppressing agents. The lowest expression level of HSP72 was observed 12 h (famotidine, H2-receptor antagonist) or 48 h (omeprazole, proton pump inhibitor) after administration. The gastric mucosal protective ability against 0.6 N HCl was also reduced when HSP72 expression was decreased by famotidine or omeprazole. This phenomenon was reversed by HSP72 induction by additional administration of zinc derivatives. CONCLUSION Our results might indicate that the expression of HSP72 in the gastric mucosa is physiologically regulated by gastric acid, and that HSP72 induction could be important in view of mucosal protection especially when HSP72 expression is reduced by administration of acid suppressing agents such as proton pump inhibitor or H2 receptor antagonist.

Abstract
Most studies into the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have primarily focused on the cytotoxic agents and processes involved in producing mucosal injury, including the immune system. However, less consideration has been given to the inherent mechanisms of cytoprotection and cellular repair in the intestinal mucosa. This review will focus on intestinal mucosal protection against cytotoxic agents and cellular stress mainly from the viewpoint of expression and function of heat shock proteins, in their role of "molecular chaperones," as internal cytoprotectants. Elucidation of such stress-responses in the intestinal mucosa may provide a better understanding of the mechanisms of cytoprotection and cellular repair, and present new strategies for IBD therapy.

Abstract
The major heat shock protein, HSP70, is known to be involved in cytoprotection against environmental stresses mediated by their function as a "molecular chaperone". Monochloramine (NH(2)Cl) is a potent cytotoxic oxidant generated by neutrophil-derived hypochlorous acid and Helicobacter pylori urease-induced ammonia. In this study, to evaluate the cytoprotective effect of HSP70 against NH(2)Cl-induced gastric mucosal cell injury, rat gastric mucosal cells (RGM-1) were stably transfected with pBK-CMV containing the human HSP70 gene (7018-RGM-1) or pBK-CMV alone (pBK-CMV-12) as control cells. These cells were treated with various concentrations of NH(2)Cl. Cell Viability was determined by MTT assay and the direct plasma membrane damage was analyzed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay. Apoptosis was determined by DNA fragmentation analysis. NH(2)Cl caused injury to pBK-CMV-12 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. NH(2)Cl-induced gastric cell injury was significantly diminished in HSP70 over-expressing cell line (7018-RGM-1) both necrosis and apoptosis compared to the control cell line (pBK-CMV-12) transfected with CMV vector alone. These result suggest that overexpression of HSP70 plays an important role in protecting gastric cells against NH(2)Cl-induced injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous findings have demonstrated increased expression of inducible heat shock protein 70 (iHSP70) in the gastric mucosa of rats exposed to partial sleep deprived (PSD). The purpose of this study was to investigate the functional role of iHSP70 and its relationship with acid secretion in the stomachs of PSD animals. METHODS A slowly rotating drum was used to induce PSD in male Sprague-Dawley rats with or without omeprazole treatment. Gastric mucosal samples were harvested for iHSP70 mRNA and protein analysis with RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Enzyme immunoassay was used to determine plasma gastrin level and gastric acidity was measured by titration. The modulating effect of PSD on 0.6 M hydrochloric acid (HCl)-induced gastric damage was also evaluated. RESULTS PSD increased plasma gastrin, gastric acidity and expression of iHSP70, while significantly reducing HCl-induced gastric damage. Omeprazole administration decreased gastric acidity and reversed iHSP70 over-expression in PSD rats. CONCLUSIONS PSD increases gastric acidity which enhances expression of mucosal iHSP70. Over-expression of iHSP70 may be a protective homeostatic response of the stomach to stress induced by PSD and acid secretion.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to determine 1) which cells are involved in stress-induced acute gastric mucosal lesion and 2) what kinds of molecular alterations are induced by stress, using immediate-early genes (IEG) as tools for detection of cellular activation. Male Wistar rats were exposed to acute water immersion-restraint stress. Protein and mRNA for IEG were detected by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, respectively. This stress induced the expression of c-fos and nerve growth factor-induced gene (NGFI-A) mRNA in gastric epithelial cells, the smooth muscle layer of small blood vessels, and the stomach wall. Stress upregulated the mRNA levels of these IEG in the duodenal epithelial cells and induced de novo expression of IEG in the smooth muscle layer of small blood vessels and the duodenal wall. These findings indicate that these cells are activated in response to stress. Expression of these IEG and/or transcriptional factors may reflect an initiation of mechanisms for repairing the lesions induced by stress as well as an adaptation to the stress.

Abstract
Systemic hyperthermia induces the synthesis of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in several organs. However, the mechanism of induction and the functions of HSPs in the small-intestinal mucosa have not been established. We examined the expression of HSPs in the small-intestinal mucosa after systemic hyperthermia, and evaluated the cytoprotective function of pre-induced HSPs on experimentally induced mucosal damage. HSP expression was investigated by Western blot and densitometric analysis before and after hyperthermia (42.5 degrees C; 20 min). Expression of a 72-kDa heat shock protein (HSP72) and a 73-kDa heat shock protein (HSP73), both of which are endogenous cytoprotectants in vitro significantly increased, peaking 6-9 h after hyperthermia, without any pathologic alterations, whereas the expression of a 60-kDa heat shock protein (HSP60) did not increase. To investigate the influence of pre-induction of HSPs on small-intestinal damage, rats received indomethacin (10 mg/kg; orally) with or without pre-treatment with hyperthermia. Small-intestinal damage caused by indomethacin was not influenced by pre-induction of HSP72 and HSP73. We demonstrated that systemic hyperthermia induced HSP72 and HSP73, although pre-induction of these proteins did not have a cytoprotective function in the small-intestinal damage caused by indomethacin.
