Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE WORK Indomethacin (IND), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, can induce gastric mucosal ulcerations. To date, the ultra-structural changes in the parietal cells (PCs) of the gastric mucosa following the intake of IND are mostly unknown. We carried out the current investigation to get insights into this issue. MATERIALS AND METHODS We established an animal model consisting of 35 adult male Sprague Dawley rats. The animals were divided into three groups, including; control (normal feeding), fasting, and indomethacin-treated groups. After treatment of 18-h fasting rats with IND, they were sacrificed at 3, 6, and 12-h intervals. The morphological features, including the apoptotic, and autophagic changes in the gastric mucosa PCs were examined using transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS In normal feeding animals (control group), the gastric PCs were present in various stages of activity. Fasting was associated with the predominance of the inactive parietal cells with features of up-regulated autophagy. In the IND -treated animals (at 3-h interval), PCs showed prominent autophagic changes, and subtle apoptotic cell death. In the IND -treated animals (at 6-12-h interval), PCs showed prominent apoptotic changes, and subtle autophagic features. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicates that IND treatment could induce gastropathy through time-dependent alterations in the autophagic and apoptotic machinery of PCs. Further studies are needed to examine the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
Selective inhibitors of myosin or actin function and confocal microscopy were used to test the role of an actomyosin complex in controlling morphology, trafficking, and fusion of tubulovesicles (TV) containing H-K-ATPase with the apical secretory canaliculus (ASC) of primary-cultured rabbit gastric parietal cells. In resting cells, myosin IIB and IIC, ezrin, and F-actin were associated with ASC, whereas H-K-ATPase localized to intracellular TV. Histamine caused fusion of TV with ASC and subsequent expansion resulting from HCl and water secretion; F-actin and ezrin remained associated with ASC whereas myosin IIB and IIC appeared to dissociate from ASC and relocalize to the cytoplasm. ML-7 (inhibits myosin light chain kinase) caused ASC of resting cells to collapse and most myosin IIB, F-actin, and ezrin to dissociate from ASC. TV were unaffected by ML-7. Jasplakinolide (stabilizes F-actin) caused ASC to develop large blebs to which actin, myosin II, and ezrin, as well as tubulin, were prominently localized. When added prior to stimulation, ML-7 and jasplakinolide prevented normal histamine-stimulated transformations of ASC/TV and the cytoskeleton, but they did not affect cells that had been previously stimulated with histamine. These results indicate that dynamic pools of actomyosin are required for maintenance of ASC structure in resting cells and for trafficking of TV to ASC during histamine stimulation. However, the dynamic pools of actomyosin are not required once the histamine-stimulated transformation of TV/ASC and cytoskeleton has occurred. These results also show that vesicle trafficking in parietal cells shares mechanisms with similar processes in renal collecting duct cells, neuronal synapses, and skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Infections in cattle with the gastric nematode Ostertagia ostertagi are associated with decreased acid secretion and profound physio-morphological changes of the gastric mucosa. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the mechanisms triggering these pathophysiological changes. O. ostertagi infection resulted in a marked cellular hyperplasia, which can be explained by increased transcriptional levels of signaling molecules related to the homeostasis of gastric epithelial cells such as HES1, WNT5A, FGF10, HB-EGF, AREG, ADAM10 and ADAM17. Intriguingly, histological analysis indicated that the rapid rise in the gastric pH, observed following the emergence of adult worms, cannot be explained by a loss of parietal cells, as a decrease in the number of parietal cells was only observed following a long term infection of several weeks, but is likely to be caused by an inhibition of parietal cell activity. To investigate whether this inhibition is caused by a direct effect of the parasites, parietal cells were co-cultured with parasite Excretory/Secretory products (ESP) and subsequently analyzed for acid production. The results indicate that adult ESP inhibited acid secretion, whereas ESP from the L4 larval stages did not alter parietal cell function. In addition, our data show that the inhibition of parietal cell activity could be mediated by a marked upregulation of inflammatory factors, which are partly induced by adult ESP in abomasal epithelial cells. In conclusion, this study shows that the emergence of adult O. ostertagi worms is associated with marked cellular changes that can be partly triggered by the worm’s Excretory/secretory antigens.

Abstract
We have previously shown that plasma membrane calcium ATPase (PMCA) pump activity is affected by the membrane protein concentration (Vanagas et al., Biochim Biophys Acta 1768:1641-1644, 2007). The results of this study provided evidence for the involvement of the actin cytoskeleton. In this study, we explored the relationship between the polymerization state of actin and its effects on purified PMCA activity. Our results show that PMCA associates with the actin cytoskeleton and this interaction causes a modulation of the catalytic activity involving the phosphorylated intermediate of the pump. The state of actin polymerization determines whether it acts as an activator or an inhibitor of the pump: G-actin and/or short oligomers activate the pump, while F-actin inhibits it. The effects of actin on PMCA are the consequence of direct interaction as demonstrated by immunoblotting and cosedimentation experiments. Taken together, these findings suggest that interactions with actin play a dynamic role in the regulation of PMCA-mediated Ca(2+) extrusion through the membrane. Our results provide further evidence of the activation-inhibition phenomenon as a property of many cytoskeleton-associated membrane proteins where the cytoskeleton is no longer restricted to a mechanical function but is dynamically involved in modulating the activity of integral proteins with which it interacts.

Abstract
In primary culture, the gastric parietal cell's deeply invaginated apical membrane, seen in microscopy by phalloidin binding to F-actin (concentrated in microvilli and a subapical web), is engulfed into the cell, separated from the basolateral membrane (which then becomes the complete plasma membrane), and converted, from a lacy interconnected system of canaliculi, into several separate vacuoles. In this study, vacuolar morphology was achieved by 71% of parietal cells 8 h after typical collagenase digestion of rabbit gastric mucosa, but the tight-junctional protein zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) was completely delocalized after ∼2 h, when cells were ready for culturing. Use of low-Ca(2+) medium (4 mM EGTA) to release cells quickly from gastric glands yielded parietal cells in which ZO-1 was seen in a small spot or ring, a localization quickly lost if these cells were then cultured in normal Ca(2+) but remaining up to 20 h if they were cultured in low Ca(2+). The cells in low Ca(2+) mostly retained, at 20 h, an intermediate morphology of many bulbous canalicular expansions ("prevacuoles"), seemingly with narrow interconnections. Histamine stimulation of 20-h cells with intermediate morphology caused colocalization of proton-pumping H-K-ATPase with canaliculi and prevacuoles but little swelling of those structures, consistent with a remaining apical pore through which secreted acid could escape. Apparent canalicular interconnections, lack of stimulated swelling, and lingering ZO-1 staining indicate inhibition of membrane fission processes that separate apical from basolateral membrane and vacuoles from each other, suggesting an important role for extracellular Ca(2+) in these, and possibly other, endocytotic processes.

Abstract
Experiments on freshwater rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, demonstrated how digestion affected the transcriptional expression of gastrointestinal transporters following a single satiating meal (~3% body mass ration) after a 1-week fast. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was employed to measure the relative mRNA expression of three previously cloned and sequenced transporters [H(+)-K(+)-ATPase (HKA), Na(+)/HCO(3)(-) cotransporter (NBC), and the Rhesus glycoprotein (Rhbg1; an ammonia transporter)] over a 24-h time course following feeding. Plasma total ammonia increased about threefold from pre-feeding levels to 288 μmol l(-1), whereas total ammonia levels in chyme supernatant reached a sixfold higher value (1.8 mmol l(-1)) than plasma levels. Feeding did not appear to have a statistically significant effect on the relative mRNA expression of the gastric HKA or Rhbg1. However, the relative mRNA expression of gastric NBC was increased 24 h following the ingestion of a meal. Along the intestinal tract, feeding increased the relative mRNA expression of Rhbg1, but had no effect on the expression of NBC. Expression of the gastric HKA was undetectable in the intestinal tract of freshwater rainbow trout. Digestion increased the activity of glutamine synthetase in the posterior intestine at 12 and 24 h following feeding. This study is among the first to show that there are digestion-associated changes in gene expression and enzyme activity in the gastrointestinal tract of teleost fish illustrating the dynamic plasticity of this organ. These post-prandial changes occur over the relative short-term duration of digesting a single meal.

Abstract
The parietal cell of the gastric gland is a highly differentiated cell responsible for the gastric hydrochloric acid secretion into the lumen of the stomach. In response to stimulation of acid secretion, the parietal cells undergo well-characterized morphological transformations to recruit H⁺/K⁺-ATPase from the cytoplasmic tubulovesicles to the apical canalicular membrane. Besides H⁺ extrusion via H⁺/K⁺-ATPase, Cl⁻ efflux and K⁺ recycling across the apical canalicular membrane are necessary via chloride and potassium channels/transporters, respectively. In the last decade, a number of molecular candidates for the Cl⁻ efflux and K⁺ recycling have been identified in the apical canalicular membrane of the parietal cell. This review focuses on the functional transformation of gastric parietal cells and intracellular trafficking of ion channels/transporters expressed in the apical canalicular membrane associated with gastric acid secretion.

Abstract
Potassium ions are required for gastric acid secretion. Several potassium channels have been implicated in providing K(+) at the apical membrane of parietal cells. In examining the mRNA expression levels between gastric mucosa and liver tissue, KCNJ15 stood out as the most highly specific K(+) channel in the gastric mucosa. Western blot analysis confirmed that KCNJ15 is abundant in the stomach. Immunofluorescence staining of isolated gastric glands indicated that KCNJ15 was expressed in parietal cells and chief cells, but not in mucous neck cells. In resting parietal cells, KCNJ15 was mainly found in puncta throughout the cytoplasm but was distinct from H(+)-K(+)-ATPase. Upon stimulation, KCNJ15 and H(+)-K(+)-ATPase become colocalized on the apical membranes, as suggested by immunofluorescence staining. Western blot analysis of the resting and the stimulated membrane fractions confirmed this observation. From nonsecreting preparations, KCNJ15-containing vesicles sedimented after a 4-h centrifugation at 100,000 g, but not after a 30-min spin, which did sediment most of the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase-containing tubulovesicles. Most of the KCNJ15 containing small vesicle population was depleted upon stimulation of parietal cells, as indicated by the fact that the KCNJ15 signal was shifted to a large membrane fraction that sedimented at 4,000 g. Our results demonstrate that, in nonsecreting parietal cells, KCNJ15 is stored in vesicles distinct from the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase-enriched tubulovesicles. Furthermore, upon stimulation, KCNJ15 and H(+)-K(+)-ATPase both translocate to the apical membrane for active acid secretion. Thus KCNJ15 can be added to the family of apical K(+) channels in gastric parietal cells.

Abstract
Kir4.1 channels were found to colocalize with the H(+)/K(+)-ATPase throughout the parietal cell (PC) acid secretory cycle. This study was undertaken to explore their functional role. Acid secretory rates, electrophysiological parameters, PC ultrastructure, and gene and protein expression were determined in gastric mucosae of 7-8-day-old Kir4.1-deficient mice and WT littermates. Kir4.1(-/-) mucosa secreted significantly more acid and initiated secretion significantly faster than WT mucosa. No change in PC number but a relative up-regulation of H(+)/K(+)-ATPase gene and protein expression (but not of other PC ion transporters) was observed. Electron microscopy revealed fully fused canalicular membranes and a lack of tubulovesicles in resting state Kir4.1(-/-) PCs, suggesting that Kir4.1 ablation may also interfere with tubulovesicle endocytosis. The role of this inward rectifier in the PC apical membrane may therefore be to balance between K(+) loss via KCNQ1/KCNE2 and K(+) reabsorption by the slow turnover of the H(+)/K(+)-ATPase, with consequences for K(+) reabsorption, inhibition of acid secretion, and membrane recycling. Our results demonstrate that Kir4.1 channels are involved in the control of acid secretion and suggest that they may also affect secretory membrane recycling.

Abstract
All segments of the gastrointestinal tract are comprised of an elaborately folded epithelium that expresses a variety of cell types and performs multiple secretory and absorptive functions. While the apical membrane expresses the electrolyte transporters that secrete or absorb electrolytes and water, basolateral transporters regulate the secretory or absorptive rates. During gastric acid formation, Cl⁻/HCO₃⁻ and Na(+) /H(+) exchange and other transporters secure Cl⁻ re-supply as well as pH and volume regulation. Gastric surface cells utilize ion transporters to secrete HCO₃⁻, maintain pH(i) during a luminal acid load and repair damaged surface areas during the process of epithelial restitution. Na(+)/H(+) exchange and Na(+)/HCO₃⁻ cotransport serve basolateral acid/base import for gastroduodenal HCO₃⁻ secretion. The gastric and duodenal epithelium also absorbs salt and water. Recent molecular information on novel ion transporters expressed in the gastric and duodenal epithelium has exploded; however, a function has not been found yet for all transporters. The purpose of this review is to summarize current knowledge on the molecular identity and cellular function of basolateral ion transporters in the gastric and duodenal epithelium.

Abstract
Ezrin is an important membrane/actin cytoskeleton linker protein, especially in epithelia. Ezrin has two important binding domains: an NH(2)-terminal region that binds to plasma membrane and a COOH-terminal region that binds to F-actin only after a conformational activation by phosphorylation at Thr567 of ezrin. The present experiments were undertaken to investigate the detailed cellular changes in the time course of expression of ezrin-T567 mutants (nonphosphorylatable T567A and permanent phospho-mimic T567D) in parietal cells and to assess ezrin distribution and its influence on the elaborate membrane recruitment processes of these cells. T567A mutant and wild-type (WT) ezrin were consistently localized to the apical plasma membrane, even with overexpression. On the other hand, T567D went first to apical membrane at early times and low expression levels, then accumulated mainly at the basal surface after 24 h. Overexpression of WT or T567A led to incorporation of internal membranes to apical vacuoles, while overexpression of T567D led to large incorporation of apical and intracellular membranes (including H-K-ATPase) to the basal surface. Differences in polar distribution of ezrin suggest a role for the linker protein in promoting formation and plasticity of membrane surface projections, forming the basis for a novel theory for ezrin as an organizer and regulator of membrane recruitment. A model simulating the cellular distribution of ezrin and its associated membrane- and F-actin-binding forms is given to predict redistributions observed with phosphorylation and mutant overexpression, and it can easily be modified as more specific information regarding binding constants and specific sites becomes available.

Abstract
Acid secretion in gastric parietal cells requires highly coordinated membrane transport and vesicle trafficking. Histologically, consensus defines acid secretion as the ratio of the volume density (Vd) of canalicular and apical membranes (CAMs) to tubulovesicular (TV) membranes, a value which varies widely under normal conditions. Examination of numerous achlorhydric mice made it clear that this paradigm is discrepant when used to assess most mice with genetic mutations affecting acid secretion. Vd of organelles in parietal cells of 6 genetically engineered mouse strains was obtained to identify a stable histological phenotype of acid secretion. We confirmed that CAM to TV ratio fairly represented secretory activity in untreated and secretion-inhibited wild-type (WT) mice and in NHE2−/− mice as well, though the response was significantly attenuated in the latter. However, high CAM to TV ratios wrongly posed as active acid secretion in AE2−/−, GHKAα−/−, and NHE4−/− mice. Achlorhydric genotypes also had a significantly higher Vd of basolateral membrane than WT mice, and reduced Vd of mitochondria and canaliculi. The Vd of mitochondria, and ratio of the Vd of basolateral membranes/Vd of mitochondria were preferred predictors of the level of acid secretion. Alterations in acid secretion, then, cause significant changes not only in the Vd of secretory membranes but also in mitochondria and basolateral membranes.

Abstract
The source of carbon dioxide for the chemical reaction leading to the production of gastric acid is unknown. The decarboxylation of an amino acid releases carbon dioxide. Pepsinogens provide a rich source of the amino acid arginine. Both the source of carbon dioxide, arginine, and the consequence of arginine decarboxylation, agmatine, have been studied. The site of carbon dioxide production has been related to the survival of the parietal cell. An immunohistochemical study has been carried out on glycol methacrylate embedded gastric biopsies from the normal stomach of 38 adult patients. The sections have been stained using polyclonal antibody to pepsinogen II, polyclonal antibody to agmatine, and polyclonal antibody to Helicobacter pylori. Pepsinogen II and agmatine are found in the parietal cell canaliculi. This is consistent with the production of carbon dioxide from arginine in the parietal cell canaliculi. Evidence is presented for the decarboxylation of arginine derived from the activation segment of pepsinogen as the source of carbon dioxide for the production of gastric acid. The production of carbon dioxide by the decarboxylation of arginine in the parietal cell canaliculus enables the extracellular hydration of carbon dioxide at the known site of carbonic anhydrase activity. The extracellular production of acid in the canaliculus together with the presence of agmatine helps to explain why the parietal cells are not destroyed during the formation of gastric acid. Agmatine is found in the mucus secreting cells of the stomach and its role in acid protection of the stomach is discussed. Anat Rec, 2009. (c) 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Abstract
Secretory compartments of neurons, endocrine cells, and exocrine glands are acidic and contain high levels of labile Zn2+. Previously, we reported evidence that acidity is regulated, in part, by the content of Zn2+ in the secretory [i.e., tubulovesicle (TV)] compartment of the acid-secreting gastric parietal cell. Here we report studies focusing on the mechanisms of Zn2+ transport by the TV compartment in the mammalian (rabbit) gastric parietal cell. Uptake of Zn2+ by isolated TV structures was monitored with a novel application of the fluorescent Zn2+ reporter N-(6-methoxy-8-quinolyl)-para-toluenesulfonamide (TSQ). Uptake was suppressed by removal of external ATP or blockade of H+-K+-ATPase that mediates luminal acid secretion. Uptake was diminished with dissipation of the proton gradient across the TV membrane, suggesting Zn2+/H+ antiport as the connection between Zn2+ uptake and acidity in the TV lumen. In isolated gastric glands loaded with the reporter fluozin-3, inhibition of H+-K+-ATPase arrested the flow of Zn(2+) from the cytoplasm to the TV compartment and secretory stimulation with forskolin enhanced vectorial movement of cytoplasmic Zn2+ into the tubulovesicle/lumen (TV/L) compartment. Our findings suggest that Zn2+ accumulation in the TV/L compartment is physiologically coupled to secretion of acid. These findings offer novel insight into mechanisms regulating Zn2+ homeostasis in the gastric parietal cell and potentially other cells in which acidic subcellular compartments serve signature functional roles.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori persistently colonize the human stomach and have been linked to atrophic gastritis and gastric carcinoma. Although it is well known that H. pylori infection can result in hypochlorhydria, the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Here we show that VacA permeabilizes the apical membrane of gastric parietal cells and induces hypochlorhydria. The functional consequences of VacA infection on parietal cell physiology were studied using freshly isolated rabbit gastric glands and cultured parietal cells. Secretory activity of parietal cells was judged by an aminopyrine uptake assay and confocal microscopic examination. VacA permeabilization induces an influx of extracellular calcium, followed by activation of calpain and subsequent proteolysis of ezrin at Met(469)-Thr(470), which results in the liberation of ezrin from the apical membrane of the parietal cells. VacA treatment inhibits acid secretion by preventing the recruitment of H,K-ATPase-containing tubulovesicles to the apical membrane of gastric parietal cells. Electron microscopic examination revealed that VacA treatment disrupts the radial arrangement of actin filaments in apical microvilli due to the loss of ezrin integrity in parietal cells. Significantly, expression of calpain-resistant ezrin restored the functional activity of parietal cells in the presence of VacA. Proteolysis of ezrin in VacA-infected parietal cells is a novel mechanism underlying H. pylori-induced inhibition of acid secretion. Our results indicate that VacA disrupts the apical membrane-cytoskeletal interactions in gastric parietal cells and thereby causes hypochlorhydria.

Abstract
The gastric acid-secreting parietal cell exhibits profound morphological changes on stimulation. Studies in gastrin null (Gas-KO) mice indicate that maturation of parietal cell function depends on the hormone gastrin acting at the G-protein-coupled cholecystokinin 2 receptor. The relevant cellular mechanisms are unknown. The application of differential mRNA display to samples of the gastric corpus of wild-type (C57BL/6) and Gas-KO mice identified the cytoskeletal linker protein, ezrin, as a previously unsuspected target of gastrin. Gastrin administered in vivo or added to gastric glands in vitro increased ezrin abundance in Gas-KO parietal cells. In parietal cells of cultured gastric glands from wild-type mice treated with gastrin, histamine or carbachol, ezrin was localized to vesicular structures resembling secretory canaliculi. In contrast, in cultured parietal cells from Gas-KO mice, ezrin was typically distributed in the cytosol, and this did not change after incubation with gastrin, histamine or carbachol. However, priming with gastrin for approximately 24 h, either in vivo prior to cell culture or by addition to cultured gastric glands, induced the capacity for secretagogue-stimulated localization of ezrin to large vesicular structures in Gas-KO mice. Similarly, in a functional assay based on measurement of intracellular pH, cultured parietal cells from Gas-KO mice were refractory to gastrin unless primed. The priming effect of gastrin was not attributable to the paracrine mediator histamine, but was prevented by inhibitors of protein kinase C and transactivation of the epidermal growth factor receptor. We conclude that in gastrin null mice there is reduced ezrin expression and a defect in ezrin subcellular distribution in gastric parietal cells, and that both can be reversed by priming with gastrin.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that nitric oxide (NO) inhibits histamine-induced gastric acid secretion in isolated human gastric glands. NO synthase has been found to be present in the human oxyntic mucosa and has been suggested to serve as a paracrine regulator of gastric acid secretion. Histamine stimulation of parietal cells induces cytoskeletal rearrangements, recruitment of H+/K+-ATPase-rich tubulovesicles to the apical membrane and expansion of intracellular canaliculi. The aim of the present study was thus to investigate (i) the effect of an NO donor on histamine-induced cytological transformations and (ii) the influence of increased [Ca2+]i on NO-induced morphological changes in human parietal cells. Human gastric glands were isolated and subjected to the NO donor SNAP prior to histamine administration. [Ca2+]i was increased by photolysis of the caged Ca2+ compound NP-EGTA. The distribution of F-actin, ezrin, and H+/K+-ATPase was assessed by confocal microscopy. Ultrastructural analysis was performed using transmission electron microscopy. SNAP did not influence the histamine-induced translocation of F-actin, ezrin, and H+/K+-ATPase but prevented an increase in the canalicular size. Elevation of [Ca2+]i in resting cells was found to mimic histamine-induced intraparietal cell transformations; however, NO-induced parietal cell morphology was unaffected by a rise in [Ca2+]i. These results indicate that NO inhibits secretion of fluid into the canalicular lumen without affecting membrane recruitment and that this effect is Ca2+-insensitive.

Abstract
In parietal cells, basolateral Ae2 Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger (Slc4a2) appears to compensate for luminal H(+) pumping while providing Cl(-) for apical secretion. In mouse and rat, mRNA variants Ae2a, Ae2b1, Ae2b2, and Ae2c2 are all found in most tissues (although the latter at very low levels), whereas Ae2c1 is restricted to the stomach. We studied the acid secretory function of gastric mucosa in mice with targeted disruption of Ae2a, Ae2b1, and Ae2b2 (but not Ae2c) isoforms. In the oxyntic mucosa of Ae2(a,b)(-/-) mice, total Ae2 protein was nearly undetectable, indicating low gastric expression of the Ae2c isoforms. In Ae2(a,b)(-/-) mice basal acid secretion was normal, whereas carbachol/histamine-stimulated acid secretion was impaired by 70%. These animals showed increased serum gastrin levels and hyperplasia of G cells. Immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy revealed baseline activation of parietal cells with fusion of intracellular H(+)/K(+)-ATPase-containing vesicles with the apical membrane and degenerative changes (but not substantial apoptosis) in a subpopulation of these cells. Increased expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen in the oxyntic glands suggested enhanced Ae2(a,b)(-/-) parietal cell turnover. These data reveal a critical role of Ae2a-Ae2b1-Ae2b2 isoforms in stimulated gastric acid secretion whereas residual Ae2c isoforms could account to a limited extent for basal acid secretion.

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

Abstract
Clinical applications such as artificial vision require extraordinary, diverse, lengthy and intimate collaborations among basic scientists, engineers and clinicians. In this review, we present the state of research on a visual neuroprosthesis designed to interface with the occipital visual cortex as a means through which a limited, but useful, visual sense could be restored in profoundly blind individuals. We review the most important physiological principles regarding this neuroprosthetic approach and emphasize the role of neural plasticity in order to achieve desired behavioral outcomes. While full restoration of fine detailed vision with current technology is unlikely in the immediate near future, the discrimination of shapes and the localization of objects should be possible allowing blind subjects to navigate in a unfamiliar environment and perhaps even to read enlarged text. Continued research and development in neuroprosthesis technology will likely result in a substantial improvement in the quality of life of blind and visually impaired individuals.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of the membrane-cytoskeleton linker protein ezrin has been functionally linked to acid secretion and vesicle recruitment to the apical secretory membrane in gastric parietal cells. Phosphorylation of the conserved T567 residue of ezrin has been shown to alter the N/C oligomerization of ezrin and promote the formation of actin-rich surface projections in other cells. To test the importance of T567 as a regulatory site for ezrin in parietal cell activation, we incorporated wild-type (WT) and mutant forms of ezrin, including the nonphosphorylatable T567A mutation and a mutant mimicking permanent phosphorylation, T567D. All ezrin constructs included C-terminal cyan-fluorescent protein (CFP) and were incorporated into adenoviral constructs for efficient introduction into cultured parietal cells from rabbit stomach. Fluorescence microscopy was used to localize CFP-ezrin and monitor morphological responses. Accumulation of a weak base (aminopyrine) was used to monitor receptor-mediated acid secretory response of the cultured cells. Similar to endogenous ezrin, WT and T567A CFP-ezrin localized heavily to apical membrane vacuoles with considerably lower levels associated with the surrounding basolateral membrane. Interestingly, H,K-ATPase within cytoplasmic tubulovesicles was incorporated into the apical vacuoles along with WT and T567A mutant ezrin. In these parietal cells secretagogue stimulation produced a striking vacuolar expansion associated with HCl secretion and the secretory phenotype. Expression of T567D CFP-ezrin was quite different, being rarely associated with apical vacuoles. T567D was more typically localized to the basolateral membrane, often associated with long spikes and fingerlike projections. Moreover, the cells did not display secretagogue-dependent morphological changes and, to our surprise, H,K-ATPase was recruited to the T567D CFP-ezrin-enriched basolateral projections. We conclude that T567 phosphorylation, which is probably regulated through Rho signaling pathway, may direct ezrin to membrane-cytoskeletal activity at the basolateral membrane and away from apical secretory activity. The large basolateral expansion is predicted to recruit membranes from sources not normally targeted to that surface.

Abstract
Mucolipidosis type IV (MLIV) is a rare, neurogenetic disorder characterized by developmental abnormalities of the brain, and impaired neurological, ophthalmological, and gastric function. Considered a lysosomal disease, MLIV is characterized by the accumulation of large vacuoles in various cell types. Recent evidence indicates that MLIV is caused by mutations in MCOLN1, the gene that encodes mucolipin-1 (ML1), a 65-kDa protein showing sequence homology and topological similarities with polycystin-2 and other transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. In this report, our observations on the channel properties of ML1, and molecular pathophysiology of MLIV are reviewed and expanded. Our studies have shown that ML1 is a multiple sub-conductance, non-selective cation channel. MLIV-causing mutations result in functional differences in the channel protein. In particular, the V446L and DeltaF408 mutations retain channel function but have interesting functional differences with regards to pH dependence and Ca(2+) transport. While the wild-type protein is inhibited by Ca(2+) transport, mutant ML1 is not. Atomic force microscopy imaging of ML1 channels shows that changes in pH modify the aggregation and size of the ML1 channels, which has an impact on vesicular fusogenesis. The new evidence provides support for a novel role of ML1 cation channels in vesicular acidification and normal endosomal function.

Abstract
Syntaxins are differentially localized in polarized cells and play an important role in vesicle trafficking and membrane fusion. These soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins are believed to be involved in tubulovesicle trafficking and membrane fusion during the secretory cycle of the gastric parietal cell. We examined the cellular localization and distribution of syntaxin-1 and syntaxin-3 in rabbit parietal cells. Fractionation of gastric epithelial cell membranes showed that syntaxin-1 was more abundant in a fraction enriched in apical plasma membranes, whereas syntaxin-3 was found predominantly in the H,K-ATPase-rich tubulovesicle fraction. We also examined the cellular localization of syntaxins in cultured parietal cells. Parietal cells were infected with CFP-syntaxin-1 and CFP-syntaxin-3 adenoviral constructs. Fluorescence microscopy of live and fixed cells demonstrated that syntaxin-1 was primarily on the apical membrane vacuoles of infected cells, but there was also the expression of syntaxin-1 in a subadjacent cytoplasmic compartment. In resting, non-secreting parietal cells, syntaxin-3 was distributed throughout the cytoplasmic compartment; after stimulation, syntaxin-3 translocated to the apical membrane vacuoles, there co-localizing with H,K-ATPase, syntaxin-1 and F-actin. The differential location of these syntaxin isoforms in gastric parietal cells suggests that these proteins may be critical for maintaining membrane compartment identity and that they may play important, but somewhat different, roles in the membrane recruitment processes associated with secretory activation.

Abstract
Loss of gastric acid secretion is pathologically known as achlorhydria. Acid-secreting parietal cells are characterized by abundant expression of ezrin (Vil2), one of ezrin/radixin/moesin proteins, which generally cross-link actin filaments with plasma membrane proteins. Here, we show the direct in vivo involvement of ezrin in gastric acid secretion. Ezrin knockout (Vil2−/−) mice did not survive >1.5 wk after birth, making difficult to examine gastric acid secretion. We then generated ezrin knockdown (Vil2kd/kd) mice by introducing a neomycin resistance cassette between exons 2 and 3. Vil2kd/kd mice born at the expected Mendelian ratio exhibited growth retardation and a high mortality. Approximately 7% of Vil2kd/kd mice survived to adulthood. Ezrin protein levels in Vil2kd/kd stomachs decreased to <5% of the wild-type levels without compensatory up-regulation of radixin or moesin. Adult Vil2kd/kd mice suffered from severe achlorhydria. Immunofluorescence and electron microscopy revealed that this achlorhydria was caused by defects in the formation/expansion of canalicular apical membranes in gastric parietal cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Gastric parietal cells secrete acid into the lumen of the stomach. They express a proton pump, the gastric H(+)/K(+) ATPase, the activity of which is tightly regulated. The H(+)/K(+) ATPase traffics between an intracytoplasmic compartment (tubulovesicles) in quiescent parietal cells and the apical plasma membrane in activated cells. These trafficking events are considered to contribute to the control of acid secretion by modulating access to apical K(+) and Cl(-) conductances that are required for transmembrane H(+) ion transport by the H(+)/K(+) ATPase. Here, we have determined whether the control of acid secretion in vivo requires membrane trafficking of the H(+)/K(+) ATPase. METHODS We developed mice that only express an H(+)/K(+) ATPase beta subunit in which a putative tyrosine-based endocytosis motif in the cytoplasmic tail is mutated. Location of the H(+)/K(+) ATPase and parietal cell ultrastructure and gastric acid secretion were then examined. RESULTS Parietal cells of these mice lacked a tubulovesicular compartment, and the H(+)/K(+) ATPase was resident exclusively on the apical plasma membrane. Despite the inability of the H(+)/K(+) ATPase to be endocytosed, the gastric acid secretory response to histamine or an antagonist was very similar to that of wild-type mice, indicating that control of H(+)/K(+) ATPase activity can occur independently of intracellular trafficking. CONCLUSIONS We were able to dissociate the regulation of H(+)/K(+) ATPase activity from intracellular trafficking of the protein. Thus, it is likely that direct regulation of apical K(+) and Cl(-) conductances are sufficient to control gastric acid secretion.

Abstract
The AE2 Cl-/HCO3- exchanger is expressed in numerous cell types, including epithelial cells of the kidney, respiratory tract, and alimentary tract. In gastric epithelia, AE2 is particularly abundant in parietal cells, where it may be the predominant mechanism for HCO3- efflux and Cl- influx across the basolateral membrane that is needed for acid secretion. To investigate the hypothesis that AE2 is critical for parietal cell function and to assess its importance in other tissues, homozygous null mutant (AE2(-/-)) mice were prepared by targeted disruption of the AE2 (Slc4a2) gene. AE2(-/-) mice were emaciated, edentulous (toothless), and exhibited severe growth retardation, and most of them died around the time of weaning. AE2(-/-) mice exhibited achlorhydria, and histological studies revealed abnormalities of the gastric epithelium, including moderate dilation of the gastric gland lumens and a reduction in the number of parietal cells. There was little evidence, however, that parietal cell viability was impaired. Ultrastructural analysis of AE2(-/-) gastric mucosa revealed abnormal parietal cell structure, with severely impaired development of secretory canaliculi and few tubulovesicles but normal apical microvilli. These results demonstrate that AE2 is essential for gastric acid secretion and for normal development of secretory canalicular and tubulovesicular membranes in mouse parietal cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inhibition of gastric acid secretion. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Endotoxemia from LPS inhibits gastric acid secretion by an unknown mechanism. Bacterial overgrowth in the stomach caused by decreased acid secretion could be responsible for nosocomial pneumonia developing in critically ill intensive care unit patients. Because acid secretion is via the H/K-ATPase and the effects of LPS on this enzyme are unknown, we hypothesized that LPS causes inhibition of gastric acid secretion by down-regulating the H/K-ATPase. METHODS A rat model to study gastric acid secretion was created. Saline or LPS (0.05-20 mg/kg IP) was given for 1 hour, after which basal acid secretion was determined for 1 hour. Pentagastrin (PG; 10 microg/kg IV) or saline was then given and gastric acid output collected for another 2 hours. RESULTS LPS dose dependently inhibited basal and PG stimulated acid secretion. LPS increased alpha- and beta-H/K-ATPase subunit mRNA expression (Northern blot) in the absence of PG compared with saline. In the presence of PG, LPS did not have this effect. Western blot analysis did not show any difference in alpha- or beta-subunit immunoreactivity. Immunofluorescence analysis demonstrated that PG increased staining in the secretory membranes for H/K-ATPase subunits whereas in all LPS-treated rats, it appeared that H/K-ATPase subunits remained within the tubulovesicles. Furthermore, changes in H/K-ATPase mRNA expression may not be related to changes in NF-kappaB activity. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that inhibition of gastric acid secretion by LPS is due to inhibition of H/K-ATPase enzymatic function or changes in cytoskeletal rearrangements in H/K-ATPase subunits rather than by down-regulation of transcriptional or translational events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Until recently, it has not been possible to evaluate factors that regulate the acidity of the microenvironment within the tubulovesicles and luminal (TV/L) spaces of the gastric gland. The goal of this study was to develop a method for monitoring the mechanisms that regulate acidity in the TV/L compartment. METHODS Isolated rabbit gastric glands (intact or permeabilized with S. aureus alpha-toxin) were loaded with a recently characterized fluorescent dye, LysoSensor Yellow-Blue DND 160 (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR), which localizes to highly acidic compartments and can be used to monitor acidity ratiometrically. RESULTS In resting glands, the pH of the TV/L compartment was approximately 3.4. Moderate alkalizations ( approximately 0.5 to 1.0 pH unit alkalization) were observed during exposure to inhibitors of the apical H(+)/K(+) ATPase (omeprazole and SCH28080), thereby unmasking a stable, low-level leak of H(+) ions from the TV/L compartment. Similar changes were observed in alpha-toxin permeabilized glands following depletion of ATP in the cytoplasm. In intact and permeabilized glands, we used the cell-permeant, divalent cation chelator, tetrakis-(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TPEN) to probe the effects of lowering divalent cation content of the TV/L compartment. Exposure to relatively low concentrations (20 micromol/L, 50 micromol/L) of TPEN reversibly promoted H(+) leakage. At these concentrations, simultaneous inhibition using SCH28080 led to marked enhancement of the rate of alkalization. CONCLUSIONS The effects of low-dose TPEN suggests that acidity within the TV/L compartment of the gastric gland may be regulated, at least in part, by its content of divalent cations such as Zn(2+), for which TPEN has high affinity.

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

Abstract
Gastric ezrin was initially identified as a phosphoprotein associated with parietal cell activation. To explore the nature of ezrin phosphorylation, proteins from resting and secreting gastric glands were subjected to two-dimensional SDS-PAGE. Histamine triggers acid secretion and a series of acidic isoforms of ezrin on two-dimensional SDS-PAGE. Mass spectrometric analysis of these acidic ezrin spots induced by stimulation suggests that Ser66 is phosphorylated. To determine whether Ser66 is a substrate of protein kinase A (PKA), recombinant proteins of ezrin, both wild type and S66A mutant, were incubated with the catalytic subunit of PKA and [32P]ATP. Incorporation of 32P into wild type but not the mutant ezrin verified that Ser66 is a substrate of PKA. In addition, expression of S66A mutant ezrin in cultured parietal cells attenuates the dilation of apical vacuolar membrane associated with stimulation by histamine, indicating that PKA-mediated phosphorylation of ezrin is necessary for acid secretion. In fact, expression of phosphorylation-like S66D mutant in parietal cells mimics histamine-stimulated apical vacuole remodeling. Further examination of H,K-ATPase distribution revealed a blockade of stimulation-induced proton pump mobilization in S66A but not S66D ezrin-expressing parietal cells. These data suggest that PKA-mediated phosphorylation of ezrin plays an important role in mediating the remodeling of the apical membrane cytoskeleton associated with acid secretion in parietal cells.

Abstract
Acid secretion by the gastric parietal cell is regulated by paracrine, endocrine, and neural pathways. The physiological stimuli include histamine, acetylcholine, and gastrin via their receptors located on the basolateral plasma membranes. Stimulation of acid secretion typically involves an initial elevation of intracellular calcium and/or cAMP followed by activation of a cAMP-dependent protein kinase cascade that triggers the translocation and insertion of the proton pump enzyme, H,K-ATPase, into the apical plasma membrane of parietal cells. Whereas the H,K-ATPase contains a plasma membrane targeting motif, the stimulation-mediated relocation of the H,K-ATPase from the cytoplasmic membrane compartment to the apical plasma membrane is mediated by a SNARE protein complex and its regulatory proteins. This review summarizes the progress made toward an understanding of the cell biology of gastric acid secretion. In particular we have reviewed the early signaling events following histaminergic and cholinergic activation, the identification of multiple factors participating in the trafficking and recycling of the proton pump, and the role of the cytoskeleton in supporting the apical pole remodeling, which appears to be necessary for active acid secretion by the parietal cell. Emphasis is placed on identifying protein factors that serve as effectors for the mechanistic changes associated with cellular activation and the secretory response.

Abstract
The basolateral Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger in parietal cells plays an essential role in gastric acid secretion mediated via the apical gastric H(+)-K(+)-ATPase. Here, we report the identification of a new Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger, which shows exclusive expression in mouse stomach and kidney, with expression in the stomach limited to the basolateral membrane of gastric parietal cells. Tissue distribution studies by RT-PCR and Northern hybridizations demonstrated the exclusive expression of this transporter, also known as SLC26A7, to stomach and kidney, with the stomach expression significantly more abundant. No expression was detected in the intestine. Cellular distribution studies by RT-PCR and Northern hybridizations demonstrated predominant localization of SLC26A7 in gastric parietal cells. Immunofluorescence labeling localized this exchanger exclusively to the basolateral membrane of gastric parietal cells, and functional studies in oocytes indicated that SLC26A7 is a DIDS-sensitive Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger that is active in both acidic and alkaline pH(i). On the basis of its unique expression pattern and function, we propose that SLC26A7 is a basolateral Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger in gastric parietal cells and plays a major role in gastric acid secretion.

Abstract
Actin cytoskeleton plays an important role in the establishment of epithelial cell polarity. Cdc42, a member of Rho GTPase family, modulates actin dynamics via its regulators, such as IQGAP proteins. Gastric parietal cells are polarized epithelial cells in which regulated acid secretion occurs in the apical membrane upon stimulation. We have previously shown that actin isoforms are polarized to different membrane domains and that the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton is essential for acid secretion. Herein, we show that Cdc42 is preferentially distributed to the apical membrane of gastric parietal cells. In addition, we revealed that two Cdc42 regulators, IQGAP1 and IQGAP2, are present in gastric parietal cells. Interestingly, IQGAP2 is polarized to the apical membrane of the parietal cells, whereas IQGAP1 is mainly distributed to the basolateral membrane. An IQGAP peptide that competes with full-length IQGAP proteins for Cdc42-binding in vitro also inhibits acid secretion in streptolysin-O-permeabilized gastric glands. Furthermore, this peptide disrupts the association of IQGAP and Cdc42 with the apical actin cytoskeleton and prevents the apical membrane remodeling upon stimulation. We propose that IQGAP2 forms a link that associates Cdc42 with the apical cytoskeleton and thus allows for activation of polarized secretion in gastric parietal cells.

Abstract
The soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) plays an important role in vesicle trafficking. Together with vesicle-associated membrane protein-2 (VAMP-2) and syntaxin, SNAP-25 forms a ternary complex implicated in docking and fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane during exocytosis. These so-called SNARE proteins are believed to regulate tubulovesicle trafficking and fusion during the secretory cycle of the gastric parietal cell. Here we examined the cellular localization and functional importance of SNAP-25 in parietal cell cultures. Adenoviral constructs were used to express SNAP-25 tagged with cyan fluorescent protein, VAMP-2 tagged with yellow fluorescent protein, and SNAP-25 in which the C-terminal 25 amino acids were deleted (SNAP-25 Delta181-206). Membrane fractionation experiments and fluorescent imaging showed that SNAP-25 is localized to the apical plasma membrane. The expression of the mutant SNAP-25 Delta181-226 inhibited the acid secretory response of parietal cells. Also, SNAP Delta181-226 bound poorly in vitro with recombinant syntaxin-1 compared with wild type SNAP-25, indicating that pairing between syntaxin-1 and SNAP-25 is required for parietal cell activation. Dual expression of SNAP-25 tagged with cyan fluorescent protein and VAMP-2 tagged with yellow fluorescent protein revealed a dynamic change in distribution associated with acid secretion. In resting cells, SNAP-25 is at the apical plasma membrane and VAMP-2 is associated with cytoplasmic H,K-ATPase-rich tubulovesicles. After stimulation, the two proteins co-localize on the apical plasma membrane. These data demonstrate the functional significance of SNAP-25 as a SNARE protein in the parietal cell and show the dynamic stimulation-associated redistribution of VAMP-2 from H,K-ATPase-rich tubulovesicles to co-localize with SNAP-25 on the apical plasma membrane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Acid secretion by parietal cells involves secretagogue-dependent recycling of the H+-K+-ATPase. Proteins called soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) have been implicated as participants in membrane trafficking, docking, and fusing processes. Here we studied the intracellular distribution and functional importance of one SNARE protein, vesicle associated membrane protein-2 (VAMP-2), in gastric parietal cells. METHODS Using an adenoviral recombinant expression system encoding VAMP-2 (synaptobrevin-2) fused to the green fluorescent protein (GFP), we expressed the GFP-VAMP-2 protein in primary cultures of rabbit parietal cells, which enables us to visualize the dynamics of GFP-VAMP-2 in a variety of functional states by fluorescence microscopy. To ascertain the function of VAMP-2 in parietal cell activation, streptolysin-O permeabilized gastric glands were treated with tetanus toxin, a potent and preferential protease for VAMP-2, and acid secretion was measured. RESULTS In resting parietal cells GFP was detected throughout the cytoplasm in a pattern of distribution that was very similar to that of H+-K+-ATPase. After stimulation, we observed that the GFP-VAMP-2 translocated to the apical plasma membrane along with the H+-K+-ATPase. A relatively high degree of co-localization was detected between GFP-VAMP-2 and H+-K+-ATPase. Tetanus toxin inhibited cAMP/ATP-stimulated acid secretion by about 45% in permeabilized gastric glands with a concomitant reduction in the level of immunoreactive VAMP-2. CONCLUSIONS Adenovirus-based GFP reporter fusion proteins can be used to efficiently study the functional dynamics of SNAREs. VAMP-2 is associated with tubulovesicle membranes in the parietal cell and plays a role in stimulation-associated membrane recruitment and acid secretion.

Abstract
Gastric parietal cells have a unique secretory membrane system that undergoes a profound transformation when the parietal cell is stimulated to secrete acid. Understanding this process has been hindered by the lack of an immortalised parietal cell line. Here we have explored a strategy for the development of a parietal cell line by the generation of transgenic mice bearing the temperature-sensitive mutant of the SV40 large T antigen (SV40 tsA58) under the control of the regulatory sequences of the gastric H+/K+ ATPase beta-subunit (H/Kbeta-tsA58). Three H/ Kbeta-tsA58 transgenic mouse lines were established, namely 218, 224 and 228, all of which expressed the tsA58 T antigen in the gastric mucosa. Unexpectedly, the gastric mucosae of all lines were hypertrophic indicating that the temperature-sensitive large T antigen was partially active at 37 degrees C. Immunofluorescence together with light and electron microscopic studies revealed that mature parietal and zymogenic cells were absent in H/Kbeta-tsA58 transgenic lines 218 and 224, and small undifferentiated cells were the dominant cell type in the gastric units. On the other hand, a few mature parietal cells were detected in line 228 together with an increased proportion of undifferentiated cells and, normally rare, pre-parietal cells. As line 228 represented a rich source of pre-parietal cells, gastric cells from line 228 were isolated and cultured at 33 degrees C, the permissive temperature for tsA58. Gastric epithelial cells, expressing the T antigen, were maintained in culture for over 6 weeks. Upon a temperature shift to 39 C the cultured gastric cells developed characteristics of differentiated parietal cells, including the presence of a nascent canaliculus and dramatically increased production of the gastric H+/K+ ATPase beta-subunit. Therefore, this system shows the potential to generate an immature parietal cell line that can be induced to differentiate in vitro.

Abstract
The morbidity and mortality from chronic biliary diseases (i.e., the cholangiopathies) remains substantial. End-stage liver disease from biliary causes of cirrhosis (e.g., primary biliary cirrhosis [PBC], and primary sclerosing cholangitis) account for approximately one third of patients referred for liver transplantation. A single-topic conference sponsored by the American Association for the Studies of Liver Diseases entitled "The Pathobiology of Biliary Epithelia" brought together investigators to review the status of the field of cholangiocyte pathobiology, identify new areas of interest, and propose future directions. This information was presented in 6 sessions: "Structural and Functional Characteristics of the Bile Duct System," "Biological Topics from Nonbiliary Epithelia," "Malignant Transformation of Cholangiocytes," "Cholangiocyte Proliferation and Death," "Transport Mechanisms in Bile Duct Epithelia," and "Pathobiology of Biliary Epithelia." In the 7 years since the first symposium on this topic, major advances have been made in our understanding of ductal bile formation, including, greater insight into the hormones, intracellular signaling mechanisms, and effector proteins responsible for bile secretion and absorption. More sophisticated imaging technologies have increased our understanding of the polarity of cholangiocytes, their embryology and ultrastructural anatomy, and in vivo human secretory responses to current medical therapy. Information on mediators of inflammation permeated many sessions, having potentially important roles in malignant transformation of cholangiocytes, cholangiocyte apoptosis, fluid and electrolyte transport, and have begun to be specifically characterized for certain biliary diseases, e.g., acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cholangiopathy and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).

Abstract
In muscle and fat cells, insulin stimulates the delivery of the glucose transporter GLUT4 from an intracellular location to the cell surface, where it facilitates the reduction of plasma glucose levels. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that mediate this translocation event involves integrating our knowledge of two fundamental processes--the signal transduction pathways that are triggered when insulin binds to its receptor and the membrane transport events that need to be modified to divert GLUT4 from intracellular storage to an active plasma membrane shuttle service.

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

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates gastric acid secretion and H(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit gene expression. Because EGF activates the serine-threonine protein kinase Akt, we explored the role of Akt in gastric acid secretion. Akt phosphorylation and activation were measured by kinase assays and by Western blots with an anti-phospho-Akt antibody, using lysates of purified (>95%) canine gastric parietal cells in primary culture. EGF induced Akt phosphorylation and activation, whereas carbachol had no effect. LY294002, an inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase, completely blocked EGF induction of Akt phosphorylation, whereas the MEK1 inhibitor PD98059 and the protein kinase C inhibitor GF109203X had no effect. We examined the role of Akt in H(+)/K(+)-ATPase gene expression by Northern blotting using a canine H(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit cDNA probe. The parietal cells were transduced with a multiplicity of infection of 100 of the adenoviral vector Ad.Myr-Akt, which overexpresses a constitutively active Akt gene, or with the control vector Ad.CMV-beta-gal, which expresses beta-galactosidase. Ad.Myr-Akt induced H(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit gene expression 3-fold, whereas it failed to stimulate the gene cyclooxygenase-2, which was potently induced by carbachol in the same parietal cells. Ad.Myr-Akt induced aminopyrine uptake 4-fold, and it potentiated the stimulatory action of carbachol 3-fold. In contrast, Ad.Myr-Akt failed to induce changes in either parietal cell actin content, measured by Western blots with an anti-actin antibody or in the organization of the actin cellular cytoskeleton, visualized by fluorescein phalloidin staining and confocal microscopy. Transduction of the parietal cells with a multiplicity of infection of 100 of the adenoviral vector Ad.dom.neg.Akt, which overexpresses an inhibitor of Akt, blocked the stimulatory effect of EGF on both aminopyrine uptake and H(+)/K(+)-ATPase production, measured by Western blots with an anti-H(+)/K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit antibody. Thus, EGF induces a cascade of events in the parietal cells that results in the activation of Akt. The functional role of Akt appears to be stimulation of gastric acid secretion through induction of H(+)/K(+)-ATPase expression.

Abstract
Acid secretion by the gastric parietal cell is controlled through movement of vesicles containing the proton pump, the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase (HK). We have used latrunculin B (Lat B), which binds to monomeric actin, to investigate actin turnover in the stimulated parietal cell. In isolated gastric glands, relatively high concentrations of Lat B were required to inhibit acid accumulation (ED(50) approximately 70 microM). Cultured parietal cells stimulated in the presence of low Lat B (0.1--1 microM) have reduced lamellipodia formation and some aberrant punctate phalloidin-stained structures, but translocation of HK and vacuolar swelling appeared unaffected. High Lat B (10--50 microM) resulted in gross changes in actin organization (punctate phalloidin-stained structures throughout the cell and nucleus) and reduced translocation of HK and vacuolar swelling. Resting parietal cells treated with high Lat B showed minor effects on morphology and F-actin staining. If resting cells treated with high Lat B were washed immediately before stimulation, they exhibited a normal stimulated morphology. These data suggest distinct pools of parietal cell actin: a pool highly susceptible to Lat B primarily involved in motile function of cultured cells; and a Lat B-resistant pool, most likely microvillar filaments, that is essential for secretion. Furthermore, the stimulation process appears to accentuate the effects of Lat B, most likely through Lat B binding to monomer actin liberated by the turnover of the motile actin filament pool.

Abstract
Gastric HCl secretion by the parietal cell involves the secretagogue-regulated re-cycling of the H+-K+-ATPase at the apical membrane. The trafficking of the H+-K+-ATPase and the remodelling of the apical membrane during this process are likely to involve the co-ordination of the function of vesicular trafficking machinery and the cytoskeleton. This review summarizes the progress made in the identification and characterization of components of the vesicular trafficking machinery that are associated with the H+-K+-ATPase and of components of the actin-based cytoskeleton that are associated with the apical membrane of the parietal cell. Since many of these proteins are also expressed at the apical pole of other epithelial cells, the parietal cell may represent a model system to characterize the protein- protein interactions that regulate apical membrane trafficking in many other epithelial cells.

Abstract
The ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM) family of proteins have emerged as key regulatory molecules in linking F-actin to specific membrane proteins, especially in cell surface structures. Merlin, the product of the NF2 tumor suppressor gene, has sequence similarity to ERM proteins and binds to some of the same membrane proteins, but lacks a C-terminal F-actin binding site. In this review we discuss how ERM proteins and merlin are negatively regulated by an intramolecular association between their N- and C-terminal domains. Activation of at least ERM proteins can be accomplished by C-terminal phosphorylation in the presence of PIP2. We also discuss membrane proteins to which ERM and merlin bind, including those making an indirect linkage through the PDZ-containing adaptor molecules EBP50 and E3KARP. Finally, the function of these proteins in cortical structure, endocytic traffic, signal transduction, and growth control is discussed.

Abstract
Clathrin from H-K-ATPase-rich membranes derived from the tubulovesicular compartment of rabbit and hog gastric acid secretory (parietal) cells was characterized biochemically, and the subcellular localization of membrane-associated clathrin in parietal cells was characterized by immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, and immunoelectron microscopy. Clathrin from H-K- ATPase-rich membranes was determined to be comprised of conventional clathrin heavy chain and a predominance of clathrin light chain A. Clathrin and adaptors could be induced to polymerize quantitatively in vitro, forming 120-nm-diameter basketlike structures. In digitonin-permeabilized resting parietal cells, the intracellular distribution of immunofluorescently labeled clathrin was suggestive of labeling of the tubulovesicular compartment. Clathrin was also unexpectedly localized to canalicular (apical) membranes, as were alpha-adaptin and dynamin, suggesting that this membrane domain of resting parietal cells is endocytotically active. At the ultrastructural level, clathrin was immunolocalized to canalicular and tubulovesicular membranes. H-K-ATPase was immunolocalized to the same membrane domains as clathrin but did not appear to be enriched at the specific subdomains that were enriched in clathrin. Finally, in immunofluorescently labeled primary cultures of parietal cells, in contrast to the H-K-ATPase, intracellular clathrin was found not to translocate to the apical membrane on secretagogue stimulation. Taken together, these biochemical and morphological data provide a framework for characterizing the role of clathrin in the regulation of membrane trafficking from tubulovesicles and at the canalicular membrane in parietal cells.
