Abstract
Background Gastritis is a superficial and prevalent inflammatory lesion that is considered a public health concern once can cause gastric ulcers and gastric cancer, especially when associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. Proton pump inhibitors, such as omeprazole, are the most widely used drugs to treat this illness. The aim of the study was evaluate cytogenetic effects of omeprazole in stomach epithelial cells of patients with gastritis in presence and absence of H. pylori, through cytogenetic biomarkers and catalse and superoxide dismutase analysis. Methods The study included 152 patients from the Gastroenterology Outpatient Clinic of Hospital Getúlio Vargas, Teresina—Brazil, that reported continuous and prolonged omeprazole use in doses of 20, 30 and 40 mg/kg. The participants were divided into groups: (1) patients without gastritis (n = 32); (2) patients without gastritis but with OME use (n = 24); (3) patients with gastritis (n = 26); (4) patients with gastritis undergoing OME therapy (n = 26); (5) patients with gastritis and H. pylori (n = 22) and (6) patients with gastritis and H. pylori on OME therapy (n = 22). Results OME induced cytogenetic imbalance in the stomach epithelium through the formation of micronuclei (group 6 > 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; group 5 > 1, 2, 3; group 4 > 1, 2, 3); bridges (groups 4 and 6 > 1, 2, 3, 5 and group 2 > 3, 5); buds (groups 2,4,6 > , 1, 3, 5); binucleated cells (group 6 > 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; group 4 > 1, 2, 3); (groups 2 and 3 > 1); picnoses (group 6 > 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), groups 2 and 5 > 1, 3; group 4 > 1, 2, 3, 5); cariorrexis (groups 6 and 4 > 1, 2, 3, 5; groups 2, 3, 5 > 1) and karyolysis (groups 2, 4, and 6 > 1, 3, 5; groups 3 and 5 > 1). The OME cytogenetic instability was associated with H. pylori infection, indicating clastogenic/aneugenic effects, chromosomes alterations, gene expression changes, cytotoxicity and apoptosis. Conclusions The cytogenetic changescan be attributed to several mechanisms that are still unclear, including oxidative damage, as observed by increased catalase and superoxide dismutase expresion. Positive correlations between antioxidant enzymes were found with micronuclei formation, and were negative for picnoses. Thus, the continuous and prolonged omeprazole use induces genetic instability, which can be monitored through cytogenetic analyzes, as precursor for gastric cancer.

Abstract
We examined the development of gastric cancer risk screening, from rat pepsinogen studies in an experimental rat gastric carcinogenesis model induced with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and human pepsinogen studies in the 1970s and 1980s to the recent "ABC method" for human gastric cancer risk screening. First, decreased expression or absence of a major pepsinogen isozyme, PG1, was observed in the rat gastric mucosa from the early stages of gastric carcinogenesis to adenocarcinomas following treatment with MNNG. In the 1980s, decreases in PGI in the human gastric mucosa and serum were identified as markers of atrophic gastritis. In the 1990s, other researchers revealed that chronic infection with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) causes atrophic gastritis and later gastric cancer. In the 2000s, a gastric cancer risk screening method combining assays to detect serum anti-Hp IgG antibody and serum PGI and PGII levels, the "ABC method", was established. Eradication of Hp and endoscopic follow-up examination after the ABC method are recommended to prevent gastric cancer.

Abstract
Omeprazole (OME) is commonly used to treat gastrointestinal disorders. However, long-term use of OME can increase the risk of gastric cancer. We aimed to characterize the pharmacological effects of OME and to correlate its adverse effects and toxicogenetic risks to the genomic instability mechanisms and cancer-based on database reports. Thus, a search (till Aug 2019) was made in the PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect with relevant keywords. Based on the study objective, we included 80 clinical reports, forty-six in vitro, and 76 in vivo studies. While controversial, the findings suggest that long-term use of OME (5 to 40 mg/kg) can induce genomic instability. On the other hand, OME-mediated protective effects are well reported and related to proton pump blockade and anti-inflammatory activity through an increase in gastric flow, anti-inflammatory markers (COX-2 and interleukins) and antiapoptotic markers (caspases and BCL-2), glycoprotein expression, and neutrophil infiltration reduction. The reported adverse and toxic effects, especially in clinical studies, were atrophic gastritis, cobalamin deficiencies, homeostasis disorders, polyp development, hepatotoxicity, cytotoxicity, and genotoxicity. This study highlights that OME may induce genomic instability and increase the risk of certain types of cancer. Therefore, adequate precautions should be taken, especially in its long-term therapeutic strategies and self-medication practices.

Abstract
Omeprazole is one of the most used acid-suppressing medications. This fact emphasizes the questions concerning the safety of this compound. Healthy volunteers (n=33) were included in this prospective study. All study subjects were analysed for their CYP2C19 genotype. Of the 33 individuals, 24 were homozygous for the wild type CYP2C19*1 allele, 7 were heterozygous for the CYP2C19*2 variant allele, and 2 were homozygous for the CYP2C19*2 variant allele. Before and after 14 days of omeprazole treatment at a daily dose of 20 mg, one blood sample was taken from each individual to determine five cytogenetic biomarkers of genotoxicity: chromosome aberrations, micronuclei, proliferating rate index, sister chromatid exchanges, and mitotic index. The only significant change was that of a weak increase in micronuclei count after treatment in relation to baseline values (day 0) (P = 0.026). To assess the potential of omeprazole to induce P450 CYP1A2, the urinary ratio AFMU+1X+1U/17U in the interval of 4-5 hours after caffeine intake was calculated twice (days 0 and 15), using the caffeine test in 27 of the 33 individuals. This result suggests that omeprazole does not increase CYP1A2 activity after 14 days of treatment.

Abstract
Molecular modelling of the anti-ulcerative agent, omeprazole, with the putative active sites of cytochromes P4503A4 and P4502C19, enzymes which are the major catalysts of omeprazole metabolism in man, are reported. Interactive docking of omeprazole in both CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 gives rise to binding orientations which are consistent with both the known sites of metabolism reported for these isoforms and with evidence from site-directed mutagenesis experiments on CYP2C19, a P450 associated with genetic polymorphism in human drug metabolism. The potential P450 enzymic interactions, inhibition and induction of omeprazole are discussed in the light of molecular modelling and QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationship) studies on related compounds.

Abstract
Induction of DNA single-strand scission by four glandular stomach carcinogens and three other chemicals was studied in the pyloric mucosa of rat stomach after gastric intubation. DNA single-strand scission, as was measured by the alkaline elution method, was induced by four glandular stomach carcinogens; N-nitroso N-methylurethane at doses of 1 and 9 mg/kg body wt, 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide at 20 and 30 mg/kg body wt. N-ethyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine at 30 and 100 mg/kg body wt and N-propyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine at 30 and 100 mg/kg body wt. DNA single-strand scission was also induced dose-dependently by a direct acting mutagen, 1-nitrosoindole-3-acetonitrile at doses of 100, 500 and 800 mg/kg body wt. Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, was equivocal in its effect in this assay at 30-500 mg/kg body wt: induction was statistically significant by Cochran-Armitage binomial trend test. Loxtidine, an H2-receptor antagonist, did not induce DNA single-strand breaks in the pyloric mucosa at a dose of 400 mg/kg body wt. The present results together with previous information suggest that DNA single-strand scission is a good marker for tumor-initiating activity in rat stomach mucosa.

Abstract
The direct effects of omeprazole on colonic cells has not been evaluated. Controversy exists regarding the potential adverse effects of omeprazole on cell proliferation. In order to mimic the in vivo situation in the patient treated with omeprazole, proliferation cell culture experiments were performed, monitoring directly the effects of gastrin and omeprazole both alone and in combination. Three colonic cancer cell lines were used, two with neuroendocrine features (NCI-H716, LCC-18) and one (DLD-1) not known to have these features. In these in vitro proliferation experiments, only the NCI-H716 colorectal cancer cell line responded to omeprazole by decreased proliferation (P < 0.05). The effect was concentration dependent shown for all doses of omeprazole used. Gastrin had a statistically significant effect on increasing proliferation in the NCS-H716 cell line alone but only at the highest concentration (10(-6) M). Omeprazole has a cytostatic effect on one of three colorectal cancer cell lines but the mechanism for this effect of omeprazole and its potential role in treatment awaits elucidation.

Abstract
This review considers current approaches to regulatory genotoxicity testing, focusing on how the use of animals can be further replaced, reduced and refined. The complementary roles of in vitro and in vivo testing, and the justification for using animals, are discussed in detail. Recommendations are made for improvements and further work, in the light of the considerable current controversy surrounding the composition and deployment of testing strategies, and the interpretation of the data generated, particularly for carcinogenicity prediction. The major problems are the oversensitivity of in vitro tests and the insensitivity of in vivo assays. On the basis of an analysis of some published databases, it is concluded that there is insufficient support for using in vivo genotoxicity assays for screening. Also, it is questionable whether the scientific benefits of using such assays always outweigh the costs to the animals involved. The considerable efforts being made to harmonise in vivo protocols and to develop improved methods for detecting genotoxicity are discussed. It is recommended that more emphasis be placed on characterising genotoxins in vitro, especially for mechanisms of activity, to optimise the benefits of any confirmatory animal tests.. Also, regulatory agencies are urged to require better-designed and more-scientifically sound protocols, in which animal numbers are minimised and data interpretation, particularly that of negative results, is facilitated. Lastly, in the development and validation of transgenic rodent systems, emphasis should be placed on developing protocols in which other acute toxicity and metabolism endpoints can be measured simultaneously with in vivo mutagenesis, while minimising animal numbers.

Abstract
With the availability of increasingly potent acid-suppressing medications, questions continue to rise concerning the safety of these compounds in regards to carcinogenetic potential. In this review, we examine current concepts and procedures relating to genotoxicity, the potential for a chemical agent to interact with and alter the genomic information of the cell, and carcinogenesis. A description and discussion of commonly utilized techniques for the determination of (a) in vitro mutagenicity, (b) in vitro and in vivo DNA damage and repair, (c) in vitro and in vivo chromosomal damage and (d) chronically dosed animal tumorigenesis development is presented. Observations from these procedures as they have been applied to a review of the safety of acid-suppressing medications will be discussed. An evaluation of reports relating to potential genotoxic and carcinogenic hazards of therapeutically relevant acid-suppressing medications (cimetidine, ranitidine, omeprazole) is presented. Information related to the effect of prolonged administration of acid-suppressing medications, alterations of serum gastrin levels, and the potential for tumor promotion is discussed.

Abstract
Here we summarize the data on 55 compounds tested in in vivo short-term assays for tumor-initiating and tumor-promoting activity in the glandular stomach of male Fischer (F344) rats. Most of the data has been previously published. Tumor-initiating activity was assayed by measuring the induction of unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) and DNA single strand scission; tumor-promoting activity was assayed by measuring the induction of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, increased replicative DNA synthesis (RDS), and of c-fos and c-myc oncogene expression. The compounds were orally administered. Twenty-nine compounds were tested for UDS. Eight were positive, including 5 glandular stomach carcinogens; 16 were negative, including 5 liver carcinogens; and 5 were equivocal. Twenty compounds were tested for DNA single strand scission. Twelve were positive, including 6 glandular stomach carcinogens; 7 negative, including 2 liver carcinogens; and 1 was equivocal. Thirty-two compounds were tested for RDS. Twenty-six were positive, including 8 glandular stomach carcinogens and 6 glandular stomach tumor-promoters; 4 were negative, including 3 liver carcinogens and a stomach irritant; and 2 were equivocal. Forty-five compounds were tested for ODC. Thirty-seven were positive, including 8 glandular stomach carcinogens and 6 glandular stomach tumor promoters; 7 were negative, including 3 liver carcinogens; and one was equivocal. All glandular stomach carcinogens and tumor-promoters examined were positive in both RDS and ODC. Two compounds were tested for c-fos and c-myc expression; one was a glandular stomach carcinogen and one was a glandular stomach tumor promoter, and both were positive. In addition, 2 compounds inhibited the increase in RDS induced by the tumor promoter NaCl, suggesting anti-tumor-promoter activity. Thus these assays are useful for assessing potential tumor-initiating and tumor-promoting activity in the rat glandular stomach.

Abstract
Recently, Phillips et al. reported that small amounts of radioactivity derived from [14C]omeprazole were 'associated' with DNA purified from gastrointestinal tissues of treated rats (Mutagenesis 7, 277-283, 1992). We hypothesized that this radioactivity arose from omeprazole bound to contaminating protein in the DNA fraction (Mutagenesis 7, 395-396, 1992). Using rats injected with 35S-labeled amino acids, we found significant protein contamination (0.06 microgram of protein per microgram of DNA) in DNA purified from gastrointestinal tissues. Gastric mucous proteins represent likely candidates for binding of omeprazole in the rat model used by Phillips et al. To investigate this, we partially purified proteins from gastric mucus, incubated them with [14C]omeprazole, and then added these radiolabeled mucoproteins to homogenates of rat colon and duodenum before starting the DNA purification. Detectable amounts of the added mucoproteins remained in the DNA fraction, but none of the control protein, bovine serum albumin, remained with the DNA. Further characterization of the mucoproteins by hydroxyapatite chromatography indicated that a certain population of these proteins survived the DNA purification procedures. These data indicate that the association of omeprazole with DNA reported by Phillips et al. most probably is explained by binding of omeprazole to mucous glycoproteins (or other proteins present in the GI tract) that selectively survive DNA purification protocols.

Abstract
This review examines recent concepts of gastric mucosal cell biology in relation to acid inhibition. Powerful acid-inhibitory drugs have been associated with the production of enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cell proliferation and the induction of ECL-cell carcinoids in rats. The ECL-cell lineage and its renewal is discussed, and the factors that regulate ECL-cell proliferation are reviewed. Current methods in use for assessing genotoxicity in gastric mucosa are scrutinized; the much discussed claim that antisecretory drugs induce unscheduled DNA synthesis is examined, and the methodology that is the basis for these claims is found defective and wanting. The nature of ECL-cell proliferation in rats receiving lifelong treatment with H2-receptor antagonists or acid pump inhibitors is explored, and their relationship to ECL-cell proliferation and ECL-cell carcinoids discussed. It is concluded that aged rats are very prone to developing endocrine proliferations, and this may be related to the multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome found in humans. There is no evidence at present that long-term antisecretory therapy causes significant ECL-cell proliferation in humans.

Abstract
Gastric acid secretion is precisely regulated by neural (acetylcholine), hormonal (gastrin), and paracrine (histamine; somatostatin) mechanisms. The stimulatory effect of acetylcholine and gastrin is mediated via increase in cytosolic calcium, whereas that of histamine is mediated via activation of adenylate cyclase and generation of cAMP. Potentiation between histamine and either gastrin or acetylcholine may reflect postreceptor interaction between the distinct pathways and/or the ability of gastrin and acetylcholine to release histamine from mucosal ECL cells. The prime inhibitor of acid secretion is somatostatin. Its inhibitory paracrine effect is mediated predominantly by receptors coupled via guanine nucleotide binding proteins to inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity. All the pathways converge on and modulate the activity of the luminal enzyme, H+,K(+)-ATPase, the proton pump of the parietal cell. Precise information on the mechanisms involved in gastric acid secretion and the identification of specific receptor subtypes has led to the development of potent drugs capable of inhibiting acid secretion. These include competitive antagonists that interact with stimulatory receptors (e.g. muscarinic M1-receptor antagonists and histamine H2-receptor antagonists) as well as non-competitive inhibitors of H+,K(+)-ATPase (e.g. omeprazole). The histamine H2-receptor antagonists (cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine, nizatidine and roxatidine acetate) continue as first-line therapy for peptic ulcer disease and are effective in preventing relapse. Although they are generally well tolerated, histamine H2-receptor antagonists may cause untoward CNS, cardiac and endocrine effects, as well as interfering with the absorption, metabolism and elimination of various drugs. The dominance of the histamine H2-receptor antagonists is now being challenged by omeprazole. Omeprazole reaches the parietal cell via the bloodstream, diffuses through the cytoplasm and becomes activated and trapped as a sulfenamide in the acidic canaliculus of the parietal cell. Here, it covalently binds to H+,K(+)-ATPase, the hydrogen pump of the parietal cell, thereby irreversibly blocking acid secretion in response to all modes of stimulation. The main potential drawback to its use is its extreme potency which sometimes leads to virtual anacidity, gastrin cell hyperplasia, hypergastrinaemia and, in rats, to the development of carcinoid tumours. The cholinergic receptor on the parietal cell has recently been identified as an M3 subtype and that on postganglionic intramural neurones of the submucosal plexus as an M1 subtype.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Diploid human fibroblasts (IMR-90 cells), grown to confluency and growth-arrested by serum starvation, were irradiated with a variety of doses of UV light (0.025-40 J/m2) or incubated with broad dose ranges of four direct-acting mutagens [ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), ICR-170, methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), and 4-nitroquinoline oxide (4-NQO)] and pulsed with a thymidine analog, 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) to detect evidence of DNA repair. These cells and appropriate controls were immunochemically stained and subjected to flow cytometric analysis to quantify BrdUrd incorporation into DNA and simultaneously measure cellular DNA content. Since the maximal quantity of BrdUrd incorporated with repairing cells is profoundly less than the amount incorporated during replicative synthesis and flow cytometric analysis collects information on a cell-to-cell basis, data collection using linear histograms succeeded both in revealing repairing cellular populations and eliminating replicative cells from the analysis. Technical modifications necessary to achieve stoichiometry with UV-irradiated IMR-90 fibroblasts included a 48h repair (and pulse) period, followed by denaturing cellular DNA for 15 min at 90 degrees C. The limit of detection was equal to or below the lowest dose investigated (0.025 J/m2). DNA repair was also detected with cultures incubated with low doses of all chemicals and pulsed with BrdUrd for a 24 h period. The limits of detection were near or below 500 microM EMS, 5 microM MMS, 0.25 microM 4-NQO, and 0.1 microM ICR-170.

Abstract
In a randomized, multicenter trial, nizatidine 150 mg or 300 mg, or placebo, was administered twice daily for six weeks to 515 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Gelusil antacid tablets were taken as needed for pain. Significantly superior rates of endoscopically proven complete healing (normal-appearing mucosa) versus placebo occurred after three weeks with nizatidine 150 mg, and after six weeks with nizatidine 300 mg. Six-week healing rates were 38.5% for nizatidine 300 mg, 41.1% for nizatidine 150 mg, and 25.8% for placebo. The nizatidine 150 mg treatment group had significantly greater improvement in daytime and nighttime heartburn severity after one day of therapy versus placebo. Twice-daily administration of nizatidine 150 mg or 300 mg provides prompt relief from the major symptom of GERD, heartburn, and complete healing of esophagitis is seen in many patients.

Abstract
Parietal cells from rabbit gastric mucosa, enriched to greater than 90% purity, were used to study the effect of the H+,K(+)-ATPase inhibitor omeprazole on DNA in vitro. In this preparation, omeprazole undergoes acid-catalyzed conversion to its active form, the sulfenamide, which subsequently binds to luminal SH groups of the H+,K(+)-ATPase and thereby inhibits acid secretion. In the parietal cell fraction the S-phase inhibitor hydroxyurea (HU) decreased [3H]thymidine uptake by 40% as measured by liquid scintillation counting (LSC), presumably due to inhibition of scheduled DNA synthesis in contaminating stem cells. In the presence of HU, irradiation with ultraviolet light (UV) or treatment with the gastric carcinogen, 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) increased [3H]thymidine uptake by a factor of 5. Autoradiography of isolated, stimulated parietal cells showed that UV irradiation and MNNG treatment increased the average number of silver grains over the nuclei 18-fold and 4-fold, respectively. In contrast, treatment of histamine-stimulated parietal cells with omeprazole or ranitidine in concentrations 100 times the IC50 value for inhibition of acid secretion in the parietal cells did not increase [3H]thymidine incorporation above the control levels, measured either by LSC or by autoradiography. Extracted DNA from stimulated parietal cells treated with [3H]omeprazole or [3H]MNNG showed no binding of [3H]omeprazole but considerable binding of [3H]MNNG. It is concluded that parietal cells can undergo DNA repair, but there is no indication that omeprazole, or its acid-derived metabolites, should cause any damage to DNA, nor does it bind to DNA in its target cell, where the highest concentrations of omeprazole and its acid-derived products are found.
