Sultana Z, O Yildiz V, Jadcherla SR. Characteristics of esophageal refluxate and symptoms in infants compared between pre-treatment and on treatment with proton pump inhibitors. J Perinatol 2024; 44:87-93. [PMID: 37980392 DOI: 10.1038/s41372-023-01825-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/20/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine longitudinal pH-impedance characteristics from those infants who remained on proton pump inhibitors therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as parents/providers refused to discontinue therapy after 4 weeks. STUDY DESIGN Eighteen infants with acid reflux index >3% underwent treatment, and pH-impedance data were compared prior to and on proton pump inhibitors at 42 ± 1 and 46 ± 1 weeks' postmenstrual age, respectively. Esophageal acid and bolus exposure, symptoms and swallowing characteristics were examined. RESULTS Proton pump inhibitors reduces the acid-mediated effects of reflux but modifies impedance and clearance mechanisms (P < 0.05). Prolonged therapy did not reduce symptoms (P > 0.05). Infants evaluated while on proton pump inhibitors were 1.8 times more likely to have swallows before and after reflux. CONCLUSIONS Prescription of proton pump inhibitors for objectively determined GERD should have time limits, as prolonged treatment can result in prolonged esophageal bolus clearance time without relieving symptoms.

Nelson MR, Zhang X, Podgaetz E, Wang X, Zhang Q, Pan Z, Spechler SJ, Souza RF. Th2 cytokine signaling through IL-4Rα increases eotaxin-3 secretion and tension in human esophageal smooth muscle. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 2024; 326:G38-G52. [PMID: 37933466 DOI: 10.1152/ajpgi.00155.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023]
Abstract
In esophageal epithelial cells in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-13) signal through IL-4Rα, activating JAK to increase eotaxin-3 secretion, which draws eosinophils into the mucosa. We explored whether Th2 cytokines also might stimulate eotaxin-3 secretion and increase tension in esophageal smooth muscle (ESM), which might impair esophageal distensibility, and whether those events could be blocked by proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or agents that disrupt IL-4Rα signaling. We established human ESM cell cultures from organ donors, characterizing Th2 cytokine receptor and P-type ATPase expression by qPCR. We measured Th2 cytokine-stimulated eotaxin-3 secretion by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and ESM cell tension by gel contraction assay, before and after treatment with omeprazole, ruxolitinib (JAK inhibitor), or IL-4Rα blocking antibody. CPI-17 (inhibitor of a muscle-relaxing enzyme) effects were studied with CPI-17 knockdown by siRNA or CPI-17 phospho(T38A)-mutant overexpression. ESM cells expressed IL-4Rα and IL-13Rα1 but only minimal H+-K+-ATPase mRNA. Th2 cytokines increased ESM eotaxin-3 secretion and tension, effects blocked by ruxolitinib and IL-4Rα blocking antibody but not consistently blocked by omeprazole. IL-13 increased ESM tension by increasing CPI-17 expression and phosphorylation, effects blocked by CPI-17 knockdown. Blocking IL-4Rα decreased IL-13-stimulated eotaxin-3 secretion, CPI-17 expression, and tension in ESM. Th2 cytokines increase ESM eotaxin-3 secretion and tension via IL-4Rα signaling that activates CPI-17. Omeprazole does not reliably inhibit this process, but IL-4Rα blocking antibody does. This suggests that ESM eosinophilia and impaired esophageal distensibility might persist despite elimination of mucosal eosinophils by PPIs, and IL-4Rα blocking agents might be especially useful in this circumstance.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We have found that Th2 cytokines increase eotaxin-3 secretion and tension in esophageal smooth muscle (ESM) cells via IL-4Rα signaling. Unlike esophageal epithelial cells, ESM cells do not express H+-K+-ATPase, and omeprazole does not inhibit their cytokine-stimulated eotaxin-3 secretion or tension. An IL-4Rα blocking antibody reduces both eotaxin-3 secretion and tension induced by Th2 cytokines in ESM cells, suggesting that an agent such as dupilumab might be preferred for patients with EoE with esophageal muscle involvement.

Abstract
The present study reports a case of pantoprazole-induced acute kidney disease. The patient was diagnosed with acute kidney injury with wide interstitial inflammation and eosinophil infiltration. Following 1 month of glucocorticoid therapy, the patient's serum creatinine and urea nitrogen decreased to within normal ranges. The presentation, clinical course, diagnosis and prognosis of pantoprazole-induced acute kidney injury are discussed herein to highlight the importance of early and correct diagnosis for good prognosis. Disease characteristics include short-term increased serum creatinine levels that respond to glucocorticoid treatment. The patient had no history of chronic kidney disease or proteinuria and presented with increased serum creatinine following treatment with pantoprazole. Following the end of pantoprazole treatment, short-term RRT and long-term prednisolone was administered, then serum creatinine returned to normal. Pantoprazole-induced acute kidney injury is commonly misdiagnosed and late diagnosis results in poor patient prognoses. Misdiagnosis leads to the administration of treatments that may exacerbate the condition, so appropriate diagnosis and treatment for pantoprazole-induced acute kidney injury is necessary.

Abstract
Feeding intolerance is a common issue in the care of preterm neonates. The condition manifests as delayed emptying of gastric contents and represents a therapeutic challenge, since the factors accounting for its manifestations are unknown. The main goal of this study was to comparatively investigate the age-related function of rat gastric and pyloric smooth muscle and their putative regulators. We hypothesized that a reduced gastric muscle contraction potential early in life contributes to the delayed gastric emptying of the newborn. Newborn and adult rat gastric (fundus) and pyloric sphincter tissues were comparatively studied in vitro. Shortening of the tissue-specific dissociated smooth muscle cell was evaluated, and expression of the key regulatory proteins Rho-associated kinase 2 and myosin light chain kinase was determined. Gastric and pyloric smooth muscle cell shortening was significantly greater in the adult than the respective newborn counterpart. Expression of myosin light chain kinase and Rho-associated kinase 2 was developmentally regulated and increased with age. Pyloric sphincter muscle expresses a higher neuronal nitric oxide synthase and phosphorylated vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein content in newborn than adult tissue. Compared with later in life, the newborn rat gastropyloric muscle has a Ca(2+)-related reduced potential for contraction and the pyloric sphincter relaxation-dependent modulators are overexpressed. To the extent that these rodent data can be extrapolated to humans, the delayed gastric emptying in the newborn reflects reduced stomach muscle contraction potential, as opposed to increased pyloric sphincter tone.

Abstract
An increase in intracellular Ca2+ is the primary trigger of contraction of gastrointestinal (GI) smooth muscles. However, increasing the Ca2+ sensitivity of the myofilaments by elevating myosin light chain phosphorylation also plays an essential role. Inhibiting myosin light chain phosphatase activity with protein kinase C-potentiated phosphatase inhibitor protein-17 kDa (CPI-17) and myosin phosphatase targeting subunit 1 (MYPT1) phosphorylation is considered to be the primary mechanism underlying myofilament Ca2+ sensitization. The relative importance of Ca2+ sensitization mechanisms to the diverse patterns of GI motility is likely related to the varied functional roles of GI smooth muscles. Increases in CPI-17 and MYPT1 phosphorylation in response to agonist stimulation regulate myosin light chain phosphatase activity in phasic, tonic, and sphincteric GI smooth muscles. Recent evidence suggests that MYPT1 phosphorylation may also contribute to force generation by reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. The mechanisms responsible for maintaining constitutive CPI-17 and MYPT1 phosphorylation in GI smooth muscles are still largely unknown. The characteristics of the cell-types comprising the neuroeffector junction lead to fundamental differences between the effects of exogenous agonists and endogenous neurotransmitters on Ca2+ sensitization mechanisms. The contribution of various cell-types within the tunica muscularis to the motor responses of GI organs to neurotransmission must be considered when determining the mechanisms by which Ca2+ sensitization pathways are activated. The signaling pathways regulating Ca2+ sensitization may provide novel therapeutic strategies for controlling GI motility. This article will provide an overview of the current understanding of the biochemical basis for the regulation of Ca2+ sensitization, while also discussing the functional importance to different smooth muscles of the GI tract.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the effects of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on the development and prognosis of lung cancer precise radiotherapy-induced radiation pneumonitis. Clinical materials of 84 lung cancer patients who had radiation pneumonitis after precise radiotherapy were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were divided into PPI group and control group, according to whether or not PPIs were applied. The development and prognosis of patients and the effects of different doses of PPI on patient condition from two groups were compared. There were 57 PPI cases in PPI group and 27 cases in control group. Basic characteristics of patients were not statistically different between the two groups; however, white blood cell count, oxygenation indexes, blood gas pH, and lung imaging index were significantly different (p < 0.05), indicating that radiation pneumonitis tended to be more severe in PPI group. As regards effects of PPI on prognosis of two groups, remission rate of radiation pneumonia in PPI group was significantly less than that of the control group. Among 57 cases in PPI group, there were 31 patients applied with PPI ≤ 1DDD and 31 patients applied with PPI > 1DDD. In comparison of the various parameters of patients, 7 days after being applied with different doses of PPI, there were no significant differences between the parameters of radiation pneumonitis. PPIs should be cautiously utilized to avoid the effects of lung cancer radiotherapy-induced radiation pneumonia.

Abstract
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is a common disease of unknown etiology. The tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4)-deficient hyperphenylalaninemia-1 (hph-1) newborn mouse has a similar phenotype to the human condition. For hph-1 and wild-type control animals, pyloric tissue agonist-induced contractile properties, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, cGMP, neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) content, and Rho-associated protein kinase 2 (ROCK-2) expression and activity were evaluated. Primary pyloric smooth muscle cells from wild-type newborn animals were utilized to evaluate the effect of BH4 deficiency. One-week-old hph-1 mice exhibited a fourfold increase (P < 0.01) in the pyloric sphincter muscle contraction magnitude but similar relaxation values when compared with wild-type animals. The pyloric tissue nNOS expression and cGMP content were decreased, whereas the rate of nNOS uncoupling increased (P < 0.01) in 1-wk-old hph-1 mice when compared with wild-type animals. These changes were associated with increased pyloric tissue ROS generation and elevated ROCK-2 expression/activity (P < 0.05). At 1-3 days of age and during adulthood, the gastric emptying rate of the hph-1 mice was not altered, and there were no genotype differences in pyloric tissue ROS generation, nNOS expression, or ROCK-2 activity. BH4 inhibition in pyloric smooth muscle cells resulted in increased ROS generation (P < 0.01) and ROCK-2 activity (P < 0.05). Oxidative stress upregulated ROCK-2 activity in pyloric tissue, but no changes were observed in newborn fundal tissue in vitro. We conclude that ROS-induced upregulation of ROCK-2 expression accounts for the increased pyloric sphincter tone and nNOS downregulation in the newborn hph-1 mice. The role of ROCK-2 activation in the pathogenesis of IHPS warrants further study.
