Mazumder S, Bindu S, Debsharma S, Bandyopadhyay U. Induction of mitochondrial toxicity by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): The ultimate trade-off governing the therapeutic merits and demerits of these wonder drugs. Biochem Pharmacol 2024; 228:116283. [PMID: 38750902 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2024.116283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are most extensively used over-the-counter FDA-approved analgesic medicines for treating inflammation, musculoskeletal pain, arthritis, pyrexia and menstrual cramps. Moreover, aspirin is widely used against cardiovascular complications. Owing to their non-addictive nature, NSAIDs are also commissioned as safer opioid-sparing alternatives in acute trauma and post-surgical treatments. In fact, therapeutic spectrum of NSAIDs is expanding. These "wonder-drugs" are now repurposed against lung diseases, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, fungal infections and most notably cancer, due to their efficacy against chemoresistance, radio-resistance and cancer stem cells. However, prolonged NSAID treatment accompany several adverse effects. Mechanistically, apart from cyclooxygenase inhibition, NSAIDs directly target mitochondria to induce cell death. Interestingly, there are also incidences of dose-dependent effects where NSAIDs are found to improve mitochondrial health thereby suggesting plausible mitohormesis. While mitochondria-targeted effects of NSAIDs are discretely studied, a comprehensive account emphasizing the multiple dimensions in which NSAIDs affect mitochondrial structure-function integrity, leading to cell death, is lacking. This review discusses the current understanding of NSAID-mitochondria interactions in the pathophysiological background. This is essential for assessing the risk-benefit trade-offs of NSAIDs for judiciously strategizing NSAID-based approaches to manage pain and inflammation as well as formulating effective anti-cancer strategies. We also discuss recent developments constituting selective mitochondria-targeted NSAIDs including theranostics, mitocans, chimeric small molecules, prodrugs and nanomedicines that rationally optimize safer application of NSAIDs. Thus, we present a comprehensive understanding of therapeutic merits and demerits of NSAIDs with mitochondria at its cross roads. This would help in NSAID-based disease management research and drug development.

Recent progress in adverse events of carboxylic acid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (CBA-NSAIDs) and their association with the metabolism: the consequences on mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, and prevention with natural plant extracts. Expert Opin Drug Metab Toxicol 2024:1-21. [PMID: 38980754 DOI: 10.1080/17425255.2024.2378885] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Carboxylic acid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (CBA-NSAIDs) are extensively used worldwide due to their antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects. CBA-NSAIDs have reasonable margin of safety at therapeutic doses, and in the current climate, do not possess addiction potential like opioid drugs. Studies have revealed that various adverse events of CBA-NSAIDs are related mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. AREAS COVERED This review article summarizes adverse events induced by CBA-NSAIDs, mechanisms of mitochondrial damage, oxidative stress, and metabolic interactions. Meanwhile, this review discusses the treatment and prevention of CBA-NSAIDs damage by natural plant extracts based on antioxidant effects. EXPERT OPINION CBA-NSAIDs can induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, mediate DNA, protein and lipid damage, lead to imbalance of cell antioxidant status, change of mitochondrial membrane potential, activate oxidative stress signal pathway, thus leading to oxidative stress and cell damage. Adverse events caused by CBA-NSAIDs often exhibit dose and time dependence. In order to avoid adverse events caused by CBA-NSAIDs, it is necessary to provide detailed patient consultation and eliminate influencing factors. Moreover, constructive research studies on the organ-specific toxicity and mechanism of natural plant extracts in preventing and treating metabolic abnormalities of CBA-NSAIDs, will provide important value for warning and guidance for use of CBA-NSAIDs.

Abstract
Aibika (Abelmoschus manihot (L.) Medic) is a garden vegetable whose flower has been shown to have various bioactivities. This study investigated the protective effect of aibika flower flavonoid extract (AFF) on ethanol-induced gastric injury in mice. The experimental results showed that pre-feeding 125 and 250 mg AFF/kg BW for 1 week significantly reduced the gastric injury area in the negative control group from 19.2% to 6.7% and 0.6%, respectively. The results of the pathological sections staining also showed that AFF had a protective ability against alcohol-induced injury of gastric tissue and liver tissue. When the mice were exposed to high concentrations of ethanol, AFF pretreatment significantly upregulated the expression of antioxidant enzymes. The pretreatment also promoted the production of the intracellular antioxidant, reduced glutathione, in both gastric tissue and serum. On the contrary, AFF delayed the lipid peroxidation process, which, in turn, reduced the damage to the gastric mucosa. When acute inflammation was induced by ethanol stimulation, AFF significantly downregulated the proinflammatory cytokines and mediators such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, NF-κB, COX-2, and iNOS. Furthermore, AFF pretreatment greatly promoted the production of healing factors, such as matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-7, and MMP-9, in the gastric tissue. In addition, AFF significantly reduced gastric cell apoptosis induced by ethanol stimulation. These results demonstrate that AFF has a good protective effect on alcohol-induced gastric ulcer and has the potential to be used in gastrointestinal health care.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is useful for various cancers such as high-grade glioma and cancers of other organs. However, the mechanism of tumor-specific accumulation of porphyrin is not clear. The authors previously reported that heme carrier protein 1 (HCP1) contributes to the transport of porphyrins; specifically, we showed that the production of cancer-specific reactive oxygen species from mitochondria (mitROS) leads in turn to enhanced HCP1 expression. Indomethacin (IND), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, increases ROS production by affecting mitochondrial electron transfer system. In the present work, the authors investigated the effect of pretreatment with IND on cancer-specific porphyrin accumulation, using both a glioma cell line and a rat brain tumor model. This work demonstrated that exposure of a rat glioma cell to IND results in increased generation of cancer-specific mitROS and accumulation of HCP1 expression and porphyrin concentration. Additionally, systemic dosing of a brain tumor animal model with IND resulted in elevated cellular accumulation of porphyrin in tumor cell. This is an effect not seen with normal brain tissue. Thus, the administration of IND increases intracellular porphyrin concentrations in tumor cell without exerting harmful effects on normal brain tissue, and increased porphyrin concentration in tumor cell may lead to improved PDT effect.

Abstract
Anthropogenic activities are increasing fluoride concentration in watercourses. The present study focuses on the sublethal toxicity of sodium fluoride during sub-chronic and chronic time periods in the freshwater fish Anabas testudineus. The 96-hour LC50 value for fluoride was found to be 616.50 mg/L. Excessive mucous production and hyper excitability, followed by loss of balance, were seen in fish under acute fluoride exposure. Significant reduction in yield and specific growth rate of fish were assessed at 15, 30 and 45-days exposure intervals. Different bio-indicators like Hepatosomatic-index, Gonadosomatic-index and fecundity were reduced significantly in fish exposed to 10% (61.6 mg/L) and 20% (123.2 mg/L) of 96 h of LC50 values of fluoride in comparison to control. Toxicant concentrations directly correlated with parameter lowering. Fluoride exposure increased plasma glucose, creatinine, AST, and ALT and reduced total RBC, haemoglobin content, Hct (%), plasma protein, and cholesterol. Moreover, fluoride exposure significantly reduces the mitochondrial membrane potential in liver. This may result in metabolic depression, haematological, biochemical, and enzymological stress. The in-silico structural analysis predicts that fluoride may impede cytochrome c oxidase of the electron transport system, hence inhibiting mitochondrial functionality. These findings collectively highlight the urgent need for stringent regulation and monitoring of fluoride levels in freshwater ecosystems, as the subchronic and chronic effects observed in A. testudineus may have broader implications for aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
Gastric ulcer is one of the most frequent gastrointestinal ailments worldwide. Indomethacin, one of the most potent NSAIDs, suffers undesirable ulcerogenic activity. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) has known health benefits. The current study examined the potential of CAPE to combat indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers in rats. Animals were randomized into 5 groups: control, Indomethacin (50 mg/kg) mg/kg), Indomethacin + CAPE (5 mg/kg/day), Indomethacin + CAPE (10 mg/kg), and Indomethacin + Omeprazole (30 mg/kg). CAPE prevented the rise in ulcer index, attenuated histopathological changes and preserved gastric mucin concentration. CAPE efficiently significantly prevented accumulation of malondialdehude (MDA) and prevented exhaustion of the enzymatic activities of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Further, CAPE prevented the rise in the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) and nuclear factor kapp-B (NFκB). This was associated with down-regulation of Bax and up-regulation of Bcl-2 mRNA. Finally, CAPE prevented induced indomethacin-induced decrease in heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in gastric tissues. In conclusion, CAPE possesses the ability to prevent indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer in rats. This involves, at least partially, antioxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis and enhancement of HSP70 expression.

Drug Chem Toxicol 2023; 46:851-863.

Abstract
Gentamicin (GM) is an effective antibiotic administered to treat acute Gram-negative infections. Nevertheless, its clinical application is limited due to nephrotoxicity. Therefore, our research aimed to investigate the potential renoprotective impact of rebamipide (RBM), a gastroprotective drug, on GM-induced kidney damage in rats, as well as putative nephroprotective pathways. RBM was orally administered (100 mg/kg/d for 14 d) commencing 7 d before the administration of GM (100 mg/kg/d, intraperitoneally). Nephrotoxicity was elucidated, and the silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) and β-catenin/cyclin D1 pathways were assessed. GM induced a significant elevation in the serum levels of creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), as well as the relative kidney index. In addition, GM increased lipid peroxidation and lowered total antioxidant capacity (TAC) level and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. GM administration also demonstrated a significant amplification in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), nuclear factor-κappa B p65 (NF-κB p65), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), and caspase-3 kidney levels, as well as B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)-associated X protein (Bax)/Bcl-2 ratio. Notably, RBM treatment amended all these changes induced by GM. Furthermore, the potential role of SIRT1 and β-catenin-dependent signaling pathways in GM-induced renal injury was assessed. Our findings showed that GM-treated rats demonstrated a substantial decrease in SIRT1, nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) along with an increase in β-catenin, forkhead box O-3a (FOXO-3a), and cyclin D1 protein expressions. RMB treatment markedly attenuated the deterioration caused by GM on these pathways. Additionally, RBM alleviated the GM-induced deleterious kidney tissue histopathology. In conclusion, our findings have verified that RBM can halt GM-induced renal injury by partly modulating SIRT1 and β-catenin pathways.

Abstract
Rebamipide is a quinolone derivative that has been commonly used for the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers. However, the molecular mechanisms of rebamipide against acetic acid-evoked colitis have not been adequately examined. Hence, the current study aimed to investigate the ameliorative effect of rebamipide in a rat model of acetic acid-evoked ulcerative colitis and the linked mechanisms pertaining to SIRT1/FoxO3a/Nrf2 and PI3K/AKT pathways. Herein, colitis was induced by the intrarectal administration of 3% acetic acid solution in saline (v/v) while rebamipide was administered by oral gavage (100 mg/kg/day) for seven days before the colonic insult. The colonic injury was examined by macroscopical and microscopical examination. The current findings demonstrated that rebamipide significantly improved the colonic injury by lowering the colonic disease activity index and macroscopic mucosal injury score. Moreover, it mitigated the histopathological aberrations and microscopical damage score. The favorable outcomes of rebamipide were driven by combating inflammation evidenced by dampening the colonic expression of NF-κBp65 and the pro-inflammatory markers CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6. In the same context, rebamipide curtailed the colonic pro-inflammatory PI3K/AKT pathway as seen by downregulating the immunostaining of PI3K and p-AKT(Ser473) signals. In tandem, rebamipide combated the colonic pro-oxidant events and augmented the antioxidant milieu by significantly diminishing the colonic TBARS and replenishing GSH, SOD, GST, GPx, and CAT. In the same regard, rebamipide stimulated the colonic upstream SIRT1/FoxO3a/Nrf2 axis by upregulating the expression of SIRT1, FoxO3a, and Nrf2, alongside downregulating Keap-1 gene expression. These antioxidant actions were accompanied by upregulation of the protein expression of the cytoprotective signal PPAR-γ in the colons of rats. In conclusion, the present findings suggest that the promising ameliorative features of rebamipide against experimental colitis were driven by combating the colonic inflammatory and oxidative responses. In perspective, augmentation of colonic SIRT1/FoxO3a/Nrf2 and inhibition of PI3K/AKT pathways were engaged in the observed favorable outcomes.

Abstract
Obesity is a medical term used to describe an over-accumulation of adipose tissue. It causes abnormal physiological and pathological processes in the body. Obesity is associated with systemic inflammation and abnormalities in immune cell function. Rebamipide, an amino acid derivative of 2-(1H)-quinolinone, has been used as a therapeutic for the protection from mucosal damage. Our previous studies have demonstrated that rebamipide treatment regulates lipid metabolism and inflammation, leading to prevention of weight gain in high-fat diet mice. In this study, mice were put on a high calorie diet for 11 weeks while receiving injections of rebamipide. Rebamipide treatment reduced the body weight, liver weight and blood glucose levels compared to control mice and reduced both glucose and insulin resistance. Fat accumulation has been shown to cause pro-inflammatory activity in mice. Treatment with rebamipide decreased the prevalence of inflammatory cells such as Th2, Th17 and M1 macrophages and increased anti-inflammatory Treg and M2 macrophages in epididymal fat tissue. Additionally, rebamipide addition inhibited adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 cell lines. Taken together, our study demonstrates that rebamipide treatment is a novel and effective method to prevent diet-induced obesity.

Abstract
Introduction: Fruits of Ammi majus, commonly called bishop's weed, contain a significant amount of furanocoumarins. Alloimperatorin (Allo, 6) was isolated from the free coumarin fraction of fruits, beside 8-hydroxypsoralen (1), methoxsalen (2), heraclin (3), isoimperatorin (4), imperatorin (5), isoheraclenin (7) and heraclenin hydrate (8). Piroxicam (Px) is a widely used pain-relieving drug that demonstrated side effects, including gastric ulceration and hepatorenal toxicity.Objective: This study aimed to investigate the protective potential of Alloimperatorin against Px-induced gastric ulceration and hepatorenal toxicity.Material & Methods: Rats were divided into four groups: Negative control, Px-induced rats, Allo + Px co-treated group, and Pc + Px co-treated group. Allo (25 mg/kg body weight) and Pc (25 mg/kg body weight) treatments were received 5 days before and 4 days after Px intoxication for 4 days (50 mg/kg body weight). Serum prostaglandin E2 (PG-E2) and liver and kidney functions were measured. Oxidative stress markers were evaluated in the three tissues. Histopathological features and caspase-3 immunoexpression were monitoredResults & Discussion: Px triggered gastric ulceration, increased indices of liver and kidney functions, decreased PG-E2 levels, provoked oxidative stress, and activated caspase-3 immunoexpression. Co-treatment with Allo demonstrated protective activities.Conclusion: Alloimperatorin exhibited anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic activities.

Dabigatran Etexilate Induces Cytotoxicity in Rat Gastric Epithelial Cell Line via Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species Production. Cells 2021; 10:cells10102508. [PMID: 34685491 PMCID: PMC8533938 DOI: 10.3390/cells10102508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2021] [Revised: 09/10/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Dabigatran is a novel oral anticoagulant that directly inhibits free and fibrin-bound thrombins and exerts rapid and predictable anticoagulant effects. While the use of this reagent has been associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, the reason why dabigatran use increases gastrointestinal bleeding risk remains unknown. We investigated the cytotoxicity of dabigatran etexilate and tartaric acid, the two primary components of dabigatran. The cytotoxicity of dabigatran etexilate and tartaric acid was measured in a cell viability assay. Intracellular mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mitROS) production and lipid peroxidation were measured using fluorescence dyes. Cell membrane viscosity was measured using atomic force microscopy. The potential of ascorbic acid as an inhibitor of dabigatran cytotoxicity was also evaluated. The cytotoxicity of dabigatran etexilate was higher than that of tartaric acid. Dabigatran etexilate induced mitROS production and lipid peroxidation and altered the cell membrane viscosity. Ascorbic acid inhibited the cytotoxicity and mitROS production induced by dabigatran etexilate. Therefore, we attributed the cytotoxicity of dabigatran to dabigatran etexilate, and proposed that the cytotoxic effects of dabigatran etexilate are mediated via mitROS production. Additionally, we demonstrated that dabigatran cytotoxicity can be prevented via antioxidant treatment.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent; nevertheless, the nephrotoxicity associated with its use has limited its clinical use. Rebamipide (REB) is a gastro-protective agent with diverse promising biological activities. Here, we investigated the renoprotective effects of REB against MTX-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Male Wistar rats were allocated into four groups: the normal control group, the REB group (100 mg kg-1 day-1 , PO, for 12 days), the MTX group (which received a single injection of 20 mg/kg, ip), and the REB + MTX group (which received 100 mg kg-1 day-1 REB for 7 days before and 5 days after being injected with 20 mg/kg MTX). Interestingly, MTX triggered kidney injury, characterized by renal dysfunction along with histopathological alterations. Moreover, increased reactive oxygen species level and inflammatory response were detected in the kidney of MTX-treated rats. However, REB prevented MTX-induced oxidative kidney injury and boosted an antioxidant balance. Mechanistically, REB markedly activated the NRF-2 protein and upregulated the expression of both SIRT-1 and FOXO-3 genes. Additionally, REB administration strongly inhibited the inflammatory response by downregulating both NF-κB-p65 and TLR-4. Finally, the coadministration of REB and MTX activated the mTOR/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Simultaneously, REB treatment attenuated the reduction in glomerular size, the widening of the capsular spaces, and the tubular cell damage due to MTX administration. Taken together, these results indicate the potential of REB as adjuvant therapy to prevent nephrotoxicity in patients receiving MTX treatment.

Abstract
The current study aimed to assess the antiulcerogenic impact of mesenchymal bone marrow stem cells (BMMSCs) against gastric ulcer induced by the use of piroxicam in rats and to compare this effect with the antiulcer drug "Pantoloc ®" proton pump inhibitors. The study included histological, histochemical, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural examination in stomach of rats in different study groups. In the ulcerated group, the glandular region of the stomach displayed clear mucosal lesions occurring as perforations along the stomach axis. In addition, stomach displayed degeneration of surface mucous cells accompanied by pyknosis, vacuolation among parietal cells in ishmus region, basal region with vacuolated chief cells and karyolitic nucleus of parietal cells. Moreover, Stomach sections of ulcer model rats showed intensive immunoreactivity to cytokeratin 20, Cox 2 and PCNA. Findings of the present study have shown that BMMSCs have an ameliorative effect against piroxicam-induced gastric ulcer in rats. Collectively, the proposed work has shown that BMMSCs have a curative capacity as an antiulcer due to their high antioxidant activity. Further studies are required in molecular levels to understand the mechanism of action during treatment.

Abstract
Objectives research in the treatment of gastric ulcer has involved the investigation of protective drugs. These drugs may be used as adjacent therapy with the traditional pharmacologic treatment of peptic ulcer. The present study is designed to investigate the gastro protective effects of diosmin (DIO), sildenafil (SILD) and their combinations with ranitidine (RANT) against indomethacin (INDO)-induced gastric ulcer in rats. Additionally, the potential mechanisms of their effect are addressed. Methods DIO (100 mg/kg) and SILD (10 mg/kg) were administered by oral route for seven days prior to ulcer induction. Moreover, other rats were treated with RANT (50 mg/kg) not only to compare efficiency of the medications but also, to help clarify potential mechanisms of their effect. Following, after 24 h of fasting, INDO (100 mg/kg) was administered for induction of gastric ulcer. Furthermore, rats in each group were sacrificed 4 h later. Biochemical analysis of DIO, SILD, RANT and their combinations pre-treated host tissues demonstrated reduction in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents and concomitant increase in gastric pH, nitric oxide (NO) and reduced glutathione (GSH) contents. Result It is observed, that SILD and DIO pre-treatment showed non-significant effect on gastric juice PH. However, their combinations with RANT is superior to using RANT alone. In addition, the results revealed, that combinations of (RANT and SILD) and (RANT and DIO) showed the highest increase in gastric tissue NO levels. But, these two combinations achieved the lowest MDA levels relative to the control (INDO) group. Despite, all groups displayed non-significant effect on reduced GSH content, (RANT and SILD) group increased GSH concentration by 39.75% relative to INDO group. In addition, DIO, RANT and (RANT and DIO) pre-treatment have anti-apoptotic activity on gastric mucosa. On the other hand, SILD did not affect caspase-3 immunostaining. These results are confirmed by histopathological findings. Conclusion The work outcomes provide a new gastro protective agents in clinical gastropathy. So, this study not only provides an efficient way for peptic ulcer protection, but also it may be considered for future studies in ulcer healing and gastric cancer.

Abstract
Recent advances in small-bowel endoscopy such as capsule endoscopy have shown that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) frequently damage the small intestine, with the prevalence rate of mucosal breaks of around 50% in chronic users. A significant proportion of patients with NSAIDs-induced enteropathy are asymptomatic, but some patients develop symptomatic or complicated ulcers that need therapeutic intervention. Both inhibition of prostaglandins due to the inhibition of cyclooxygenases and mitochondrial dysfunction secondary to the topical effect of NSAIDs play a crucial role in the early process of injury. As a result, the intestinal barrier function is impaired, which allows enterobacteria to invade the mucosa. Gram-negative bacteria and endogenous molecules coordinate to trigger inflammatory cascades via Toll-like receptor 4 to induce excessive expression of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α and to activate NLRP3 inflammasome, a multiprotein complex that processes pro-interleukin-1β into its mature form. Finally, neutrophils accumulate in the mucosa, resulting in intestinal ulceration. Currently, misoprostol is the only drug that has a proven beneficial effect on bleeding small intestinal ulcers induced by NSAIDs or low-dose aspirin, but its protection is insufficient. Therefore, the efficacy of the combination of misoprostol with other drugs, especially those targeting the innate immune system, should be assessed in the next step.

Abstract
Aims: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), among the most commonly used drugs worldwide, are associated with gastrointestinal (GI) complications that severely limit the clinical utility of this essential class of pain medications. Here, we mechanistically dissect the protective impact of a natural product, malabaricone C (Mal C), on NSAID-induced gastropathy. Results: Mal C dose dependently diminished erosion of the stomach lining and inflammation in mice treated with NSAIDs with the protective impact translating to improvement in survival. By decreasing oxidative and nitrative stress, Mal C treatment prevented NSAID-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death; nuclear factor κ-light-chain enhancer of activated B cell induction, release of proinflammatory cytokines and neutrophil infiltration; and disruptions in the vascular endothelial growth factor/endostatin balance that contributes to mucosal autohealing. Importantly, Mal C failed to impact the therapeutic anti-inflammatory properties of multiple NSAIDs in a model of acute inflammation. In all assays tested, Mal C proved as or more efficacious than the current first-line therapy for NSAID-dependent GI complications, the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole. Innovation: Given that omeprazole-mediated prophylaxis is, itself, associated with a shift in NSAID-driven GI complications from the upper GI to the lower GI system, there is a clear and present need for novel therapeutics aimed at ameliorating NSAID-induced gastropathy. Mal C provided significant protection against NSAID-induced gastric ulcerations impacting multiple critical signaling cascades contributing to inflammation, cell loss, extracellular matrix degradation, and angiogenic autohealing. Conclusion: Thus, Mal C represents a viable lead compound for the development of novel gastroprotective agents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN The primary component in gut mucus is mucin 2 (MUC2) secreted by goblet cells. Fluctuations in MUC2 expression are considered a useful indicator for evaluating mucosal damage and protective effect of various agents using animal studies. However, there are few in vitro studies evaluating mucosal damage using MUC2 as the indicator. Hence, we attempted to establish a novel in vitro model with MUC2 as the indicator for evaluating drug-induced mucosal damage and protective effect using enterocytes derived from human iPS cells. METHODS Compounds were added into enterocytes derived from human iPS cells, and MUC2 mRNA and protein expression levels were evaluated. Further, the effect of compounds on membrane permeability was investigated. RESULTS Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were found to decrease MUC2 mRNA expression in enterocytes, whereas mucosal protective agents increased mRNA levels. Changes in MUC2 protein expression were consistent with those of mRNA. Additionally, our results indicated that indomethacin caused mucosal damage, affecting membrane permeability of the drug. Moreover, we observed protective effect of rebamipide against the indomethacin-induced permeability increase. CONCLUSIONS The developed model could facilitate evaluating drug-induced mucosal damage and protective effects of various agents and could impact drug development studies regarding pharmacological efficacy and safety.

Abstract
PURPOSE Researchers have hypothesized that treatment with cyclosporine A (CyA), interleukin-1 receptor antagonists (IL-1RA; e.g., anakinra), P2Y2 receptor agonists (e.g., uridine triphosphate; UTP), and rebamipide may alleviate human meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and/or dry eye disease. Investigators have also proposed that prostaglandin analogues (e.g., bimatoprost) may induce MGD. Our goal was to determine whether these compounds directly influence human meibomian gland epithelial cell (HMGEC) function. METHODS Multiple concentrations of each compound were tested for effects on immortalized (I) HMGEC morphology and survival. Nontoxic dosages were used for our studies. Immortalized HMGEC were cultured in the presence of vehicle, CyA, IL-1RA, UTP, rebamipide, or bimatoprost for up to 6 days in various media. Experiments included positive controls for proliferation (epidermal growth factor and bovine pituitary extract), differentiation (azithromycin), and signaling pathway activation (insulin-like growth factor 1). Cells were analyzed for neutral lipid staining, lysosome accumulation, lipid composition, and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt (AKT), phosphorylation. RESULTS Our findings demonstrate that CyA, IL-1RA, UTP, rebamipide, and bimatoprost had no effect on the proliferation; neutral lipid content; lysosome number; or levels of free cholesterol, triglycerides, or phospholipids in IHMGECs. Cylosporine A, IL-1RA, rebamipide, and bimatoprost significantly reduced the phosphorylation of AKT, as compared to control. Of interest, tested doses of CyA above 8 nM killed the IHMGECs. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that CyA, IL-1RA, UTP, rebamipide, and bimatoprost do not influence the proliferation or differentiation of IHMGEC. However, with the exception of UTP, these compounds do decrease the activity of the AKT signaling pathway, which is known to promote cell survival.

Abstract
The approvals and provisions of the Management of Helicobacter pylori infection-the Maastricht V/ Florence Consensus Report and those of the Kyoto Global Consensus Conference on H. pylori-associated gastritis, concerning with the primary and secondary prevention of gastric cancer (GC), unambiguously suggest that H. pylori infection is the most important risk factor of GC. Accordingly, the basis for the primary and secondary prevention of GC is the optimization of H. pylori eradication therapy. The clear direct relationship of the risk of GC to the severity and extent of atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia and no reversal of intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia in the presence of H. pylori eradication presume that gastroprotective agents should be used for primary and secondary prevention. Experimental and clinical findings can lead to the conclusion that rebamipide is a highly effective and safe agent for the primary and secondary prevention of GC in patients with and without H. pylori infection, by optimizing anti-Helicobacter therapy, its anti-inflammatory effect and ability to restore the cellular structure of the gastric epithelium.

Abstract
Gastric mucosa is frequently exposed to various gastric irritants, and there is a continuing requirement to develop new gastro-protective agents. This study compares the effects of three such agents, sucralfate, rebamipide, and cimetidine in both in vivo and in vitro indomethacin-induced gastric damage models. For the in vivo approach, rats were orally administered sucralfate, rebamipide, and cimetidine at 300 mg/kg before an acute dose of indomethacin (30 mg/kg). Gastric lesions were then macroscopically examined. For the in vitro approach, gastric mucosal cells were incubated with sucralfate (3 and 5 mg/mL), rebamipide (0.3 and 1 mm), and cimetidine (10 and 50 μg/mL) before exposure to indomethacin (3.8 mm). The release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and mitochondrial function were then measured. Sucralfate, rebamipide, and cimetidine displayed gastro-protective effects in vivo (decreased number of gastric ulcers: -50% P < 0.05, -22% NS, and -69% P < 0.05, respectively, and reduced length of gastric lesions: -62% P < 0.05, -29% NS, and -70% P < 0.001, respectively). Cell damage induced by indomethacin in vitro was inhibited by sucralfate (LDH release) and by rebamipide and cimetidine (mitochondrial function and LDH release). In contrast, sucralfate accentuated the indomethacin-induced decrease in mitochondrial function. Although cultured gastric cells offer a promising tool for evaluating the cytotoxic or protective effects of test compounds, data from in vivo models are still needed to confirm in vitro data. Using both approaches provides more comprehensive insight into the effects of test compounds on the gastric mucosa.

BMC Gastroenterol 2016; 16:127. [PMID: 27717330 PMCID: PMC5054561 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-016-0543-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2016] [Accepted: 09/30/2016] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Gastric diseases are a worldwide problem in modern society, as reported in the USA, in the range of 0.5–2 episodes/year/person and an incidence of 5–100 episodes/1000/week according to seasons and age. There is convincing evidence that oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of acute gastric injury. Acid secreted from gastric parietal cells determines mucosal injuries which in turn cause inflammation and oxidative stress. Consequent inflammation produces free radicals by mitochondria thus causing lipid peroxidation, oxidative and acidic stress, which can lead to cell apoptosis. Vitamin D3, the active form of vitamin D, may counteract intracellular cell death and improve epithelial regeneration. Methods This study was planned to assess whether vitamin D3 is a protective factor against acid injury and oxidative stress in gastric epithelial cells. Primary epithelial cells and GTL-16 cells have been used to test the effects of Grisù® alone or in combination with vitamin D3 during oxidative stress or high acid exposition measuring cell viability, ROS production, cellular adhesion time along with apoptotic, autophagic and survival pathways. The combined effect of Grisù® and vitamin D3 was found more effective in counteracting the negative consequences of oxidative stress and acidity conditions than some other gastroprotective agents, such as Maalox® or Gaviscon®. Results In case of oxidative stress or acidity condition the stimulation with Grisù® alone caused an improvement of cell viability and a reduction of ROS production on epithelial gastric cells. In addition, the adhesion time of the cells was improved. All these effects were increased by the presence of vitamin D3. Similar data were also observed in primary gastric epithelial cells confirming the results obtained in GTL-16 cells. Conclusions These results suggest that Grisù® in combination with vitamin D3 may exert a gastroprotective effect to maintain or restore the integrity of gastric epithelium through an antioxidant pathway, inhibiting apoptosis and activating survival kinases. Moreover, the combination of Grisù® and vitamin D3 improves cell viability and decreases ROS production compared to other gastroprotective agents combined with vitamin D3. All these data were validated using primary cells isolated from gastric tissue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-dose aspirin (LDA) frequently causes small bowel injury. While some drugs have been reported to be effective in treating LDA-induced small intestinal damage, most studies did not exclude patients with mild damage thought to be clinically insignificant. AIM We conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy of a high dose of rebamipide, a gastroprotective drug, for LDA-induced moderate-to-severe enteropathy. METHODS We enrolled patients who received 100 mg of enteric-coated aspirin daily for more than 3 months and were found to have more than 3 mucosal breaks (i.e., erosions or ulcers) in the small intestine by capsule endoscopy. Eligible patients were assigned to receive either rebamipide 300 mg (triple dose) 3 times daily or placebo for 8 weeks in a 2:1 ratio. Capsule endoscopy was then repeated. The primary endpoint was the change in the number of mucosal breaks from baseline to 8 weeks. Secondary endpoints included the complete healing of mucosal breaks at 8 weeks and the change in Lewis score (an endoscopic score assessing damage severity) from baseline to 8 weeks. RESULTS The study was completed by 38 patients (rebamipide group: n = 25, placebo group: n = 13). After 8 weeks of treatment, rebamipide, but not placebo, significantly decreased the number of mucosal breaks (p = 0.046). While the difference was not significant (p = 0.13), the rate of complete mucosal break healing in the rebamipide group (32%, 8 of 25) tended to be higher than that in the placebo group (7.7%, 1 of 13). Rebamipide treatment significantly improved intestinal damage severity as assessed by the Lewis score (p = 0.02), whereas placebo did not. The triple dose of rebamipide was well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS High-dose rebamipide is effective for the treatment of LDA-induced moderate-to-severe enteropathy. TRIAL REGISTRATION UMIN Clinical Trials Registry UMIN000003463.

Abstract
Treatments with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have increased the number of patients with gastrointestinal complications. Qing Dai has been traditionally used in Chinese herbal medicine for various inflammatory diseases such as ulcerative colitis. We previously reported that Qing Dai suppressed inflammations by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) in ulcerative colitis patients. Thus, Qing Dai can attenuate the production of ROS, which play an important role in NSAID-induced gastrointestinal injuries. In this study, we aimed to elucidate whether Qing Dai decreased mitochondrial ROS production in NSAID-treated gastrointestinal cells by examining cellular injury, mitochondrial membrane potentials, and ROS production with specific fluorescent indicators. We also performed electron paramagnetic resonance measurement in isolated mitochondria with a spin-trapping reagent (CYPMPO or DMPO). Treatments with indomethacin and aspirin induced cellular injury and mitochondrial impairment in the gastrointestinal cells. Under these conditions, mitochondrial alterations were observed on electron microscopy. Qing Dai prevented these complications by suppressing ROS production in gastrointestinal cells. These results indicate that Qing Dai attenuated the ROS production from the NSAID-induced mitochondrial alteration in the gastrointestinal epithelial cells. Qing Dai treatment may be considered effective for the prevention NSAID-induced gastrointestinal injury.

Abstract
This Progress Report describes a development of two types of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging nanomedicines for the treatment of oxidative stress injuries, referred to as pH-sensitive redox nanoparticle (RNP(N) ) and pH-insensitive redox nanoparticle (RNP(O) ), which are prepared by self-assembling amphiphilic block copolymers possessing nitroxide radicals as a side chain of hydrophobic segment via amine and ether linkages, respectively. Due to a protonation of amino groups in hydrophobic core, RNP(N) disintegrates in low pH environments such as ischemic, inflamed, and tumor tissues, resulting in increased ROS-scavenging activity because of the exposed nitroxide radicals from the core. Utilizing pH-responsiveness of RNP(N) , it shows remarkable therapeutic effects on oxidative stress injuries such as renal and cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injuries after intravenous administration. Moreover, RNP(N) shows an enhancement of the activity of anticancer drugs by suppression of activation of transcription factors in tumor due to the ROS scavenging. On the other hand, orally administered RNP(O) has notable characteristics such as preferential accumulation in mucosa and inflamed area of gastrointestinal tract and no uptake into blood stream. Based on these characters, RNP(O) shows a remarkable therapeutic effect for the gastrointestinal inflammation without any adverse effects. Thus, ROS-scavenging nanomedicines have therapeutic efficacy in numerous oxidative stress diseases.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy and photodynamic diagnosis using 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) are clinically useful for cancer treatments. Cancer cells have been reported that 5-aminolevulinic acid is incorporated via peptide transporter 1, which is one of the membrane transport proteins, and has been reported to be significantly expressed in various gastrointestinal cancer cells such as Caco-2. However, the mechanism of this protein expression has not been elucidated. Concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is higher in cancer cells in comparison with that of normal cells. We have previously reported that ROS derived from mitochondria is likely related to invasions and proliferations of cancer cells. Since 5-aminolevulinic acid is the most important precursor of heme which is necessary protein for cellular proliferations, mitochondrial ROS (mitROS) may be also related to peptide transporter 1 expressions. In this study, we used a rat gastric mucosal cell line RGM1 and its cancer-like mutated cell line RGK1, and we clarified the ALA uptake mechanism and its relations between mitROS and peptide transporter 1 expression in RGK1. We also used our self-established stable clone of cell which over-expresses manganese superoxide dismutase, a mitROS scavenger. We studied differences of the photodynamic therapy effects in these cells after ALA administrations to clear the influence of mitROS.

Abstract
It has been proposed that neutrophil- and oxygen radical-dependent microvascular injuries are important prime events that lead to gastric mucosal injury induced by indomethacin. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by activated neutrophils after indomethacin treatment cause gastric mucosal injury via ROS-mediated oxidation of important biomolecules such as lipid, protein, and DNA. In addition, it has been revealed that indomethacin-induced gastric mucosal injury occurs via gastric epithelial cell apoptosis. However, there is little known about the mechanism of indomethacin-triggered cellular response and apoptotic signaling in gastric mucosal cells. In the present study, we summarize the evidence that supports the involvement of oxidative stress and apoptosis in indomethacin-induced gastropathy, and review the gene expression profiles of gastric epithelial cells after indomethacin treatment determined by DNA microarray analysis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the protective effect of quercetin, epigallocatechingallate, resveratrol, and rutin against the disruption of epithelial integrity induced by indomethacin in Caco-2 cell monolayers. Indomethacin decreased the transepithelial electrical resistance and increased the permeability of the monolayers to fluorescein-dextran. These alterations were abolished by all the tested polyphenols but rutin, with quercetin being the most efficient. The protective effect of quercetin was associated with its capacity to inhibit the redistribution of ZO-1 protein induced in the tight junction by indomethacin or rotenone, a mitochondrial complex-I inhibitor, and to prevent the decrease of ZO-1 and occludin expression induced by indomethacin. The fact that the antioxidant polyphenols assayed in this study differ in their protective capacity against the epithelial damage induced by indomethacin suggests that this damage is due to the ability of this agent to induce not only oxidative stress but also mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The pathogenesis of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)-induced small intestinal lesions remains unclear, although it is considered to be quite different from that of upper gastrointestinal tract ulcers due to the absence of acid and the presence of bacteria and bile in the small intestine. The aim of this study was to characterize specific gene expression profiles of intestinal mucosa in indomethacin-induced small intestinal injury, and to investigate the effects of rebamipide on the expression of these genes. METHODS Intestinal injury was induced in male Wistar rats by subcutaneous administration of indomethacin. Total RNA of the intestinal mucosa was extracted 24 h after indomethacin administration, gene expression was investigated using microarray analysis, and the identified genes were confirmed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In addition, we investigated whether the treatment with rebamipide altered the expression of these identified genes. RESULTS The administration of indomethacin induced small intestine injuries, and these lesions were significantly inhibited by the treatment with rebamipide. Microarray analysis showed that the genes for several matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and several chemokine-related genes were significantly upregulated, and metallothionein 1a (MT1a) was downregulated in the intestinal mucosa after administration of indomethacin. The expressions of these genes were reversed by the treatment with rebamipide. CONCLUSION These data suggest that MMPs, chemokines, and MT1a may play an important role in the intestinal mucosal injury induced by indomethacin. In particular, the inhibition of MMP genes and chemokine-related genes by rebamipide may be important for the therapeutic effect against NSAIDs-induced small intestinal injury.

Abstract
Acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) is one of the most frequently prescribed medications for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. It has recently been reported to cause small intestinal mucosal injury at a considerably higher rate than previously believed. The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanism by which this occurs using an in vitro small intestine model focusing on the role of oxidative stress and cell permeability. Differentiated Caco-2 exhibits a phenotype similar to human small intestinal epithelium. We measured whether ASA induced the increase of differentiated Caco-2 permeability, the decrease of tight junction protein expression, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the expression of ROS-modified zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) protein. In some experiments, Mn(III) tetrakis(1-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphyrin (MnTMPyP, a superoxide dismutase mimetic) was used. The nontoxic concentration of ASA decreased transepithelial electrical resistance and increased the flux of fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated dextran across Caco-2 in a time-dependent manner. The same concentration of ASA significantly decreased ZO-1 expression among TJ proteins as assessed by Western blot and immunocytochemistry and increased ROS production and the expression of oxidative stress-modified ZO-1 protein. However, MnTMPyP suppressed the ASA-induced increased intercellular permeability and the ASA-induced ROS-modified ZO-1 expression. Our findings indicate that ASA-induced ROS production can specifically modify the expression of ZO-1 protein and induce increased cell permeability, which may ultimately cause small intestinal mucosal injury.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates such as alendronate and risedronate are commonly used for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. They have the gastrointestinal adverse effects such as erosions and ulcers in stomach and small intestine. However, the detailed biological mechanism remains to be elucidated. Since alendronate is suggested to increase the risk of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-related gastropathy, we hypothesized that bisphosphonates and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have the same pathophysiological mechanisms in gastrointestinal mucosa: Bisphosphonates may induce cellular lipid peroxidation by inducing the production of mitochondrial superoxide. We also hypothesized that geranylgeranylacetone, an antiulcer drug, may prevent lipid peroxidation by reducing superoxide production. We treated gastric RGM1 cells and small intestinal IEC6 cells with alendronate or risedronate, and examined cellular injury, lipid peroxidation and superoxide production with specific fluorescent dyes, and underwent electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy to detect the production of superoxide in vitro. The results indicated that bisphosphonates indeed induced cellular injury, cellular lipid peroxidation, and superoxide production. We also demonstrated that the pretreatment of geranylgeranylacetone decreased superoxide production and prevented cellular lipid peroxidation. These results suggested that bisphosphonates, like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, induce lipid peroxidation by producing mitochondrial superoxide, which was prevented by geranylgeranylacetone.

World J Gastroenterol 2012; 18:1059-66. [PMID: 22416180 PMCID: PMC3296979 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v18.i10.1059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2011] [Revised: 06/22/2011] [Accepted: 07/08/2011] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM: To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of rebamipide on small intestinal permeability induced by diclofenac in mice.
METHODS: Diclofenac (2.5 mg/kg) was administered once daily for 3 d orally. A control group received the vehicle by gavage. Rebamipide (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg) was administered intragastrically once a day for 3 d 4 h after diclofenac administration. Intestinal permeability was evaluated by Evans blue and the FITC-dextran method. The ultrastructure of the mucosal barrier was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Mitochondrial function including mitochondrial swelling, mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-reduced (NADH) levels, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and ATPase activities were measured. Small intestinal mucosa was collected for assessment of malondialdehyde (MDA) content and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity.
RESULTS: Compared with the control group, intestinal permeability was significantly increased in the diclofenac group, which was accompanied by broken tight junctions, and significant increases in MDA content and MPO activity. Rebamipide significantly reduced intestinal permeability, improved inter-cellular tight junctions, and was associated with decreases in intestinal MDA content and MPO activity. At the mitochondrial level, rebamipide increased SDH and ATPase activities, NADH level and decreased mitochondrial swelling.
CONCLUSION: Increased intestinal permeability induced by diclofenac can be attenuated by rebamipide, which partially contributed to the protection of mitochondrial function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Indomethacin is one of the group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which often cause gastric mucosal injury as a side effect. Infiltration and activation of inflammatory cells, production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, generation of reactive oxygen species, and activation of apoptotic signaling are involved in the pathogenesis of indomethacin-induced gastric injury. We examined whether sake yeast-derived thioredoxin (a small redox-active protein with anti-oxidative activity and various redox-regulating functions) reduced indomethacin-induced gastric injury. METHODS Gastric injury was produced by the intraperitoneal administration of indomethacin (40 mg/kg body weight) to C57BL/6 mice. Prior to the administration of indomethacin, the mice were offered food pellets containing non-genetically modified sake yeast-derived thioredoxin (thioredoxin 200 μg/g) for 3 days. Histological examinations, assessment of myeloperoxidase activity, and analysis of the gene expressions of proinflammatory cytokines and a chemokine (interleukin [IL]-1β, IL-6, and CXCL1) were statistically evaluated. Indomethacin cytotoxicity was determined by lactate dehydrogenase release from murine gastric epithelial GSM06 cells induced by 24-h treatment with 200 and 400 μM indomethacin after 1-h preincubation with 100 μg/ml sake yeast-derived thioredoxin. RESULTS Macroscopic (edema, hemorrhage, and ulcers) and histological (necrosis, submucosal edema, neutrophil infiltration) findings induced by indomethacin were significantly reduced by pretreatment with food pellets containing thioredoxin. Gastric myeloperoxidase activity and the gene expressions of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6) were also significantly reduced by this pretreatment compared with findings in the mice not pretreated with thioredoxin-containing food pellets. The administration of sake yeast-derived thioredoxin significantly reduced indomethacin-induced cytotoxicity in GSM06 cells. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that oral administration of sake yeast-derived thioredoxin reduces indomethacin-induced gastric injury. Sake yeast-derived thioredoxin may have therapeutic potential against indomethacin-induced gastric injury.

Abstract
The beneficial effects of dietary polyphenols on health are due not only to their antioxidant properties but also to their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and/or anti-tumoral activities. It has recently been proposed that protection of mitochondrial function (which is altered in several diseases such as Alzheimer, Parkinson, obesity and diabetes) by these compounds, may be important in explaining the beneficial effects of polyphenols on health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effects of dietary polyphenols quercetin, rutin, resveratrol and epigallocatechin gallate against the alterations of mitochondrial function induced by indomethacin (INDO) in intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells, and to address the mechanism involved in such damaging effect by INDO, which generates oxidative stress. INDO concentration dependently decreases cellular ATP levels and mitochondrial membrane potential in Caco-2 cells after 20min of incubation. INDO also inhibits the activity of mitochondrial complex I and causes accumulation of NADH; leading to overproduction of mitochondrial O(2)()(-), since it is prevented by pyruvate. Quercetin (0.01mg/ml), resveratrol (0.1mg/ml) and rutin (1mg/ml) protected Caco-2 cells against INDO-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, while no protection was observed with epigallocatechin gallate. Quercetin was the most efficient in protecting against mitochondrial dysfunction; this could be due to its ability to enter cells and accumulate in mitochondria. Additionally its structural similarity with rotenone could favor its binding to the ubiquinone site of complex I, protecting it from inhibitors such as INDO or rotenone. These findings suggest a possible new protective role for dietary polyphenols for mitochondria, complementary of their antioxidant property. This new role might expand the preventive and/or therapeutic use of PPs in conditions involving mitochondrial dysfunction and associated with increased oxidative stress at the cellular or tissue levels.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to investigate the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the development of oxidative stress and cytotoxicity induced by indomethacin and to evaluate the potential of an apple peel polyphenol extract (APPE) in protecting against these events. Indomethacin induced, time-dependently, mitochondrial and oxidative perturbations which led to cell losses. An inhibition of complex I activity, shown for first time here, which resulted in a concomitant drop in cellular ATP and an increment in mitochondrial superoxide production, was observed after 10 min of exposure. These early cytotoxicity-triggering events were followed by an increase in the intracellular production of superoxide (20 min), an elevation in the activity of xanthine oxidase which led to an increased lipid peroxidation (30 min), and a decline in cell viability which manifested after 40 min. These events were selectively prevented using allopurinol, tempol and APPE (a standardized apple peel polyphenol extract). While the oxidative and cell lytic effects of indomethacin were equally prevented by the three agents, only APPE protected against complex I inhibition and its downstream oxidative consequences. Since tempol (a SOD mimetic) prevented the elevation in xanthine oxidase activity, and allopurinol (a xanthine oxidase inhibitor) totally abolished the increment in lipid peroxidation and loss of cell viability, it appears that a superoxide-dependent increase in xanthine oxidase activity is critical to trigger cytotoxicity. Thus, preventing the early increment in superoxide formation that, as a result of inhibiting complex I, takes place within mitochondria would be key toward protecting the cells against the oxidative and cytolytic effects of indomethacin. The ability of APPE in preventing the inhibition of complex I and the subsequent superoxide-dependent increase in XO activity warrants further studies to evaluate the mechanism involves in the protecting effect of APPE against the indomethacin-associated adverse effects in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric hydrochloric acid (HCl) has been regarded as an inciting factor in gastric mucosal injuries and has been reported to induce lipid peroxidation in vitro. However, because HCl is not an oxidant per se, the exact mechanism by which the acid induces lipid peroxidation is unknown. We hypothesized that gastric acid may disrupt mitochondrial transmembrane potential and induce the production of superoxide in mitochondria, which subsequently may induce lipid peroxidation and apoptosis in gastric mucosal cells. METHODS Firstly we treated gastric epithelial RGM1 cells with solutions containing various concentrations of HCl (i.e., of varying pH), and examined cellular injury, lipid peroxidation, and apoptosis with specific fluorescent dyes. Secondly, we performed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy of isolated, acid-exposed mitochondria from the cells, using a spin-trapping reagent for superoxide, 5-(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propoxy cyclophosphoryl)-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (CYPMPO). Finally, we established novel RGM1 cells that overexpressed manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), which removes superoxide from mitochondria, and examined the effect of acid treatment on cellular membrane lipid peroxidation. RESULTS The results indicated that the exposure to acid indeed induced cellular injury, cellular lipid peroxidation, apoptosis, and the demonstration of the exact superoxide spectra on EPR spectroscopy in gastric epithelial cells, and that overexpression of MnSOD decreased superoxide production and prevented cellular lipid peroxidation. CONCLUSION These results suggested that gastric acid, like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), induces mitochondrial superoxide production, which induces gastric cellular injury by triggering cellular lipid peroxidation and apoptosis.

Abstract
We have reported that rebamipide, a gastroprotective drug, suppresses indomethacin-induced gastric mucosal injury in humans and rats. However, the mechanisms of the cytoprotective actions of rebamipide have not been fully addressed. In the present study, we determined mRNA expression profile of the gastric mucosa treated with indomethacin in rats, and investigated the cytoprotective effects of rebamipide against indomethacin-induced injury with a high-density oligonucleotide array (Rat Toxicology U34 GeneChip array). Gastric epithelial cells were obtained by laser-assisted microdissection. Data analysis was performed with a GeneChip Operating Software, GeneSpring software 7.0, and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Among 1,031 probes, the expression of 160 probes (15.5%) showed at least 2.0-fold up-regulation (158 probes) and down-regulation (2 probes) 2 h after indomethacin administration in comparison with the vehicle-treated rats. The pathway analysis of the up-regulated 123 probes identified the network with a highly significant score, which consisted of known clusters of cell death, cancer, and endocrine system disorders. We succeeded in listing 10 genes that were up-regulated by the treatment with indomethacin and that were down-regulated by rebamipide, including growth arrest and DNA damage-induced 45α. In conclusion, we demonstrated that cell death, especially apoptosis, pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of indomethacin-induced gastric mucosal injury, and that inhibition of apoptosis-related genes is possibly important for the cytoprotective effect of rebamipide against this injury.

Abstract
The stability of an apple peel polyphenol extract (APPE) with powerful antioxidant activity was evaluated under acidic conditions in vitro, and its protective effect against gastrointestinal damage was investigated in rats treated with indomethacin. The antioxidant activity of APPE remained stable at pH 2.0 for 4 h. In rats treated with indomethacin (40 mg/kg ig), the previous administration of APPE protected the gastric, intestinal, and colonic mucosa from oxidative stress by preventing increased malondialdehyde concentrations and decreasing the GSH/GSSG ratio. APPE also displayed anti-inflammatory effects by preventing neutrophil infiltration in the mucosa, as evidenced by the lower myeloperoxidase activity. These protective effects of APPE resulted in the prevention of macro- and microscopic damage and of barrier dysfunction along the gastrointestinal tract of the indomethacin-treated animals. This study supports the concept that apple peel polyphenols may be useful in the prevention and/or treatment of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-associated side effects.

Abstract
Lansoprazole is effective in healing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs induced ulcers, and antioxidant properties have been thought to play a key role in healing ulcers. We hypothesize that lansoprazole exerts a cytoprotective effect by inhibiting reactive oxygen species leakage from mitochondria and lipid peroxidation. We pretreated gastric epithelial RGM1 cells with lansoprazole and then treated them with indomethacin in vitro. We found that the lansoprazole pretreatment significantly reduced cellular injury, maintained mitochondrial transmembrane potential, and decreased lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, the signal intensity of the electron spin resonance spectrum of the indomethacin-treated mitochondria which were pretreated with lansoprazole showed considerable reduction compared to those without the lansoprazole pretreatment. These results suggest that lansoprazole reduced superoxide production in the mitochondria of indomethacin treated cells, and subsequently inhibited lipid peroxide and cellular injury in gastric epithelial cells.

Abstract
Extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease are prevalent in both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. The most common manifestations involve the musculoskeletal and dermatologic systems. Other manifestations involve the hepatopan-creatobiliary system (eg, primary sclerosing cholangitis) as well as the ocular, renal, and pulmonary systems. A multidisciplinary team approach is often needed for effective management, and emergency situations require prompt evaluation.

Abstract
Recent studies using small bowel endoscopy revealed that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs including low-dose aspirin, can often induce small bowel injury. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-induced small bowel mucosal injury involves various factors such as enterobacteria, cytokines, and bile. Experimental studies demonstrate that both mitochondrial disorders and inhibition of cyclooxygenases are required for development of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-induced small bowel injury. Mitochondrion is an organelle playing a central role in energy production in organisms. Many non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs directly cause mitochondrial disorders, which are attributable to uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation induced by opening of the mega channel called mitochondrial permeability transition pore on the mitochondrial membrane by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Bile acids and tumor necrosis factor-α also can open the permeability transition pore. The permeability transition pore opening induces the release of cytochrome c from mitochondrial matrix into the cytosol, which triggers a cascade of events that will lead to cell death. Therefore these mitochondrial disorders may cause disturbance of the mucosal barrier function and elevation of the small bowel permeability, and play particularly important roles in early processes of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-induced small bowel injury. Although no valid means of preventing or treating non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-induced small bowel injury has been established, advances in mitochondrial studies may bring about innovation in the prevention and treatment of this kind of injury.

Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the most commonly prescribed drugs for arthritis, inflammation, and cardiovascular protection. However, they cause gastrointestinal complications. The pathophysiology of these complications has mostly been ascribed to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs’ action on the cyclooxygenase inhibition and the subsequent prostaglandin deficiency. However, recent clinical demonstrated the prevalence of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-induced small intestinal mucosal injury is more often than previously expected. In this review, we discuss the defense mechanisms of stomach, and the pathophysiology of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-induced injury of stomach and small intestine, especially focused on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs’ action on mitochondria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To protect the small intestine from mucosal injury induced by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is one of the critical issues in the field of gastroenterology. Polaprezinc (PZ), a gastric muco-protecting agent, has been widely used for the treatment of gastric ulcer and gastritis for its unique effects, such as its strong reactive oxygen species (ROS)-quenching effect. The aim of this study was to clarify the mechanism by which indomethacin-induced small intestinal mucosal injury occurs, by using a rat intestinal epithelial cell line (RIE-1). In addition, the protective role of PZ and the possible mechanism of its effect on indomethacin-induced small intestinal injury were investigated. METHODS Cell death was evaluated by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and a double-staining method with Hoechst33342 dye and propidium iodide. Indomethacin-induced ROS production was evaluated by detecting the oxidation of a redox-sensitive fluorogenic probe, RedoxSensor, and the oxidation of cysteine residues of proteins (protein S oxidation). The activation of cytochrome c, smac/DIABLO, and caspase-3 was assessed by western blotting. In some experiments, PZ or its components, L: -carnosine and zinc, were used. RESULTS We found that indomethacin caused apoptosis in RIE-1 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Indomethacin also induced ROS production and an increase in the protein S oxidation of RIE-1. Pretreatment of RIE-1 with PZ or zinc sulfate, but not L: -carnosine, significantly reduced the indomethacin-induced apoptosis. PZ prevented ROS production and the increase in protein S-oxidation. PZ inhibited indomethacin-induced cytochrome c and smac/DIABLO release and subsequent caspase-3 activation. CONCLUSIONS The protective effect of PZ on indomethacin-induced small intestinal injury may be dependent on its ROS-quenching effect.

Abstract
A major clinical problem encountered with the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is gastrointestinal complications. We have previously suggested that both decreases in prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) levels and mucosal apoptosis are involved in the development of NSAID-produced gastric lesions and that this apoptosis is mediated by an increase in the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration and the resulting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response and mitochondrial dysfunction. Celecoxib and rebamipide are being used clinically as a safer NSAID and an anti-ulcer drug, respectively. In this study, we have examined the effect of rebamipide on celecoxib-induced production of gastric lesions. In mice pre-administered with a low dose of indomethacin, orally administered rebamipide suppressed celecoxib-induced mucosal apoptosis and lesion production but did not decrease in PGE(2) levels in the stomach. Rebamipide also suppressed celecoxib-induced increases in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration, the ER stress response, mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in vitro. We also found that rebamipide suppresses the increases in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration induced by an activator of voltage-dependent L-type Ca(2+) channels and that another blocker of this channel suppresses celecoxib-induced increases in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. These results suggest that celecoxib activates voltage-dependent L-type Ca(2+) channels and that rebamipide blocks this activation, resulting in suppression of celecoxib-induced apoptosis. We believe that this novel activity of rebamipide may play an important role in the protection of gastric mucosa against the formation of celecoxib-induced lesions.
