Abstract
In 1985, I was accepted as postdoc by Professor Forte of UC Berkeley. He discovered H+,K+-ATPase and established the membrane recycling theory as the activation mechanism for acid secretion using whole animals. H+,K+-ATPase is an enzyme that exchanges H+ with K+. In resting state, it locates on the tubulovesicles and the pump does not work because the membrane lacks K+ permeability. Upon stimulation, the tubulovesicles fuse to the apical membrane and acquire K+ permeability, turning the pump on. The main route was known to be protein kinase A (PKA), but its specific targets remained unknown. Right after I joined Forte's lab, I was fortunate enough to reproduce the above mechanism in vitro, and I discovered proteins of molecular weight 120 kDa and 80 kDa that were specifically phosphorylated in stimulated parietal cells. After I returned to Japan, the former was cloned and named as parchorin, which is one of the chloride intracellular channels. Although no progress was made on ezrin, I found out the importance of PIP2 and Arf6 using permeabilized gland models. After I left parietal cell research, the link between ezrin and Arf6 was revealed. PKA phosphorylates S66 of ezrin and also MST4. The former changes the N-terminal structure of ezrin to bind syntaxin3, and the latter phosphorylates ACAP4, an Arf6-GAP, to accelerate binding to ezrin. Subsequently, H+,K+-ATPase, SNAREs, ezrin, and Arf6-GAP are aligned on the apical membrane. However, there are still many unsolved questions and the intracellular mechanism of parietal cells remains an attractive research area.

Abstract
Parietal cells are responsible for gastric acid secretion, which aids in the digestion of food, absorption of minerals, and control of harmful bacteria. However, a fine balance of activators and inhibitors of parietal cell-mediated acid secretion is required to ensure proper digestion of food, while preventing damage to the gastric and duodenal mucosa. As a result, parietal cell secretion is highly regulated through numerous mechanisms including the vagus nerve, gastrin, histamine, ghrelin, somatostatin, glucagon-like peptide 1, and other agonists and antagonists. The tight regulation of parietal cells ensures the proper secretion of HCl. The H+-K+-ATPase enzyme expressed in parietal cells regulates the exchange of cytoplasmic H+ for extracellular K+. The H+ secreted into the gastric lumen by the H+-K+-ATPase combines with luminal Cl- to form gastric acid, HCl. Inhibition of the H+-K+-ATPase is the most efficacious method of preventing harmful gastric acid secretion. Proton pump inhibitors and potassium competitive acid blockers are widely used therapeutically to inhibit acid secretion. Stimulated delivery of the H+-K+-ATPase to the parietal cell apical surface requires the fusion of intracellular tubulovesicles with the overlying secretory canaliculus, a process that represents the most prominent example of apical membrane recycling. In addition to their unique ability to secrete gastric acid, parietal cells also play an important role in gastric mucosal homeostasis through the secretion of multiple growth factor molecules. The gastric parietal cell therefore plays multiple roles in gastric secretion and protection as well as coordination of physiological repair.

Abstract
The stomach has unique embryologic and anatomic properties, making the study of the parietal cell technically challenging. Numerous individuals have devoted decades of research to unraveling the pathophysiological basis of this cell type. Here, we perform a scoping review of novel in vitro and in vivo methodology pertaining to the parietal cell. First, we evaluate early in vitro methods of parietal cell analysis. This section focuses on three major techniques: gastric gland isolation, parietal cell isolation, and parietal cell culture. We also discuss parietal cell physiology and pathophysiology. Second, we discuss more contemporary efforts involving confocal microscopy and gastric organoids, a new technique that holds much promise in unveiling the temporal-spatial dynamics of the cell. Finally, we will discuss findings from our laboratory where we identified an active gastric vacuolar H+-ATPase as a putative mechanism for refractory GERD. Overall, this review aims to highlight the major milestones in understanding an elusive yet important cell. Though in no way comprehensive, we hope to provide a birds-eye view to the study of this unique cell type in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lrig1 is a marker of proliferative and quiescent stem cells in the skin and intestine. We examined whether Lrig1-expressing cells are long-lived gastric progenitors in gastric glands in the mouse stomach. We also investigated how the Lrig1-expressing progenitor cells contribute to the regeneration of normal gastric mucosa by lineage commitment to parietal cells after acute gastric injury in mice. DESIGN We performed lineage labelling using Lrig1-CreERT2/+;R26R-YFP/+ (Lrig1/YFP) or R26R-LacZ/+ (Lrig1/LacZ) mice to examine whether the Lrig1-YFP-marked cells are gastric progenitor cells. We studied whether Lrig1-YFP-marked cells give rise to normal gastric lineage cells in damaged mucosa using Lrig1/YFP mice after treatment with DMP-777 to induce acute injury. We also studied Lrig1-CreERT2/CreERT2 (Lrig1 knockout) mice to examine whether the Lrig1 protein is required for regeneration of gastric corpus mucosa after acute injury. RESULTS Lrig1-YFP-marked cells give rise to gastric lineage epithelial cells both in the gastric corpus and antrum, in contrast to published results that Lgr5 only marks progenitor cells within the gastric antrum. Lrig1-YFP-marked cells contribute to replacement of damaged gastric oxyntic glands during the recovery phase after acute oxyntic atrophy in the gastric corpus. Lrig1 null mice recovered normally from acute gastric mucosal injury indicating that Lrig1 protein is not required for lineage differentiation. Lrig1+ isthmal progenitor cells did not contribute to transdifferentiating chief cell lineages after acute oxyntic atrophy. CONCLUSIONS Lrig1 marks gastric corpus epithelial progenitor cells capable of repopulating the damaged oxyntic mucosa by differentiating into normal gastric lineage cells in mouse stomach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) is histologically associated with oxyntic gland dilatations. Two interesting mucosal changes are often detected endoscopically in patients who use PPI: gastric cracked mucosa (GCM) and gastric cobblestone-like mucosa (GCSM). The aim of the present study was to clarify the relationship between PPI use and these mucosal changes. METHODS This was a single-center observational study. All successive subjects who underwent a routine esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) between August and November 2014 in Hokkaido University Hospital were enrolled. Endoscopists carried out the assessment blinded to the use of PPI and checked for GCSM and GCM using original diagnostic criteria for GCM and GCSM. Subjects were divided into two groups: those who used PPI (PPI group) and those who did not (control group). Endoscopic findings and backgrounds were compared between the two groups. RESULTS A total of 538 patients were analyzed (control group: 374 patients, men/women: 204/170, median age: 65.2 years; PPI group: 164 patients, men/women: 89/75, median age: 67.1 years). GCM was detected in 54 (10.0%) subjects, and GCSM was detected in 18 (3.3%) subjects. There was a significant difference in the prevalence rate of GCM between the control group (14/374, 3.7%) and the PPI group (40/164, 24.4%) (P < 0.01). GCSM was significantly more prevalent in the PPI group (15/164, 9.1%) than in the control group (3/374, 0.8%) (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Novel GCM and GCSM endoscopic findings in the corpus area seem to be strongly associated with PPI use.

Abstract
Research into anther ontogeny has been an active and developing field, transitioning from a strictly lineage-based view of cellular differentiation events to a more complex understanding of cell fate specification. Here we describe the modern interpretation of pre-meiotic anther development, from the earliest cell specifications within the anther lobes through SPL/NZZ-, MSP1-, and MEL1-dependent pathways as well as the initial setup of the abaxial and adaxial axes and outgrowth of the anther lobes. We then continue with a look at the known information regarding further differentiation of the somatic layers of the anther (the epidermis, endothecium, middle layer, and tapetum), with an emphasis on male-sterile mutants identified as defective in somatic cell specification. We also describe the differences in developmental stages among species and use this information to discuss molecular studies that have analyzed transcriptome, proteome, and small-RNA information in the anther.

Abstract
Originally, activins were identified as stimulators of FSH release in reproduction. Other activities, including secondary axis formation in development, have since been revealed. Here, we investigated the influence of activin βA on the body, including the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract. Initially, the activin βA protein was detected in the serum proportional to the amount of pCMV-rAct plasmid injected. The induced level of activin βA in muscle was higher in female than male mice. Subsequent results revealed that stomach and intestine were severely damaged in pCMV-rAct-injected mice. At the cellular level, loss of parietal cells was observed, resulting in increased pH within the stomach. This phenomenon was more severe in male than female mice. Consistent with damage of the stomach and intestine, activin βA often led to necrosis in the tip of the tail or foot, and loss of body weight was observed in pCMV-rAct-injected male but not female mice. Finally, in pCMV-rAct-injected mice, circulating activin βA led to death at supraphysiological doses, and this was dependent on the strain of mice used. Taken together, these results indicate that activin βA has an important role outside of reproduction and development, specifically in digestion. These data also indicate that activin βA must be controlled within a narrow range because of latent lethal activity. In addition, our approach can be used effectively for functional analysis of secreted proteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The gastric H(+) ,K(+) -ATPase is the preferred target for acid suppression. Until recently, the only drugs that effectively inhibited this ATPase were the proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). PPIs are acid-activated prodrugs that require acid protection. Once acid-activated, PPIs bind to cysteines of the ATPase, resulting in covalent, long-lasting inhibition. The short plasma half-life of PPIs and continual de novo synthesis of the H(+) ,K(+) -ATPase result in difficulty controlling night-time acid secretion. A new alternative to PPIs is the pyrrolo-pyridine, vonoprazan (TAK-438), a potassium-competitive acid blocker (PCAB) that does not require acid protection. In contrast to other PCABs, vonoprazan has a long duration of action, resulting in 24-h control of acid secretion, a high pKa of 9.37 and high affinity (Ki = 3.0 ηmol/L). AIM To determine binding selectivity of vonoprazan for the gastric H(+) ,K(+) -ATPase and to explain its slow dissociation. METHODS Gastric gland and parietal cell binding of vonoprazan was determined radiometrically. Molecular modelling explained the slow dissociation of vonoprazan from the H(+) ,K(+) -ATPase. RESULTS Vonoprazan binds selectively to the parietal cell, independent of acid secretion. Vonoprazan binds in a luminal vestibule between the surfaces of membrane helices 4, 5 and 6. Exit of the drug to the lumen is hindered by asp137 and asn138 in the loop between TM1 and TM2, which presents an electrostatic barrier to movement of the sulfonyl group of vonoprazan. This may explain its slow dissociation from the H(+) ,K(+) -ATPase and long-lasting inhibition. CONCLUSION The binding model provides a template for design of novel potassium-competitive acid blockers.

Abstract
Persistent presence of ATP4A autoantibodies (ATP4AA) directed towards parietal cells is typical for atrophic body gastritis (ABG), an autoimmune disease associated with type 1 diabetes. We assessed whether Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection might be associated with positivity for ATP4AA in children with type 1 diabetes. Sera were collected from 70 (38♀) type 1 diabetes children [aged 13·2 ± 4·5 years, age at diagnosis 8·8 ± 4·3 years, diabetes duration 4·5 ± 3·8 years, mean HbA1c 7·8 ± 1·6% (62 ± 17·5 mmol/mol)] seen at the regional diabetes clinic in Katowice, Poland. Patients were tested concurrently for Hp infection by means of a 13C urea breath test. ATP4AA were measured using a novel radioimmunoprecipitation assay developed at the Barbara Davies Center for Childhood Diabetes, University of Colorado. ATP4AA were present in 21 [30%, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 19-41%] and Hp infection was detected in 23 (33%, 95% CI = 22-44%) children. There was no statistically significant association between ATP4AA presence and Hp status. ATP4AA presence was not associated with current age, age at type 1 diabetes diagnosis, diabetes duration or current HbA1c. ATP4AA were more prevalent in females [42% (26-58%)] than males [16% (3-28%)], P = 0·016. ATP4A are found in nearly one-third of children with type 1 diabetes and more common among females. In this cross-sectional analysis, Hp infection was not associated with autoimmunity against parietal cells.

Abstract
Podocytes play a key role in the formation of cellular crescents in experimental and human diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms for podocytes in promoting crescent formation need further investigation. Here, we demonstrated that mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling was remarkably activated and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) 1α expression was largely induced in cellular crescents from patients with crescentic glomerular diseases. Specific deletion of Tsc1 in podocytes led to mTORC1 activation in podocytes and kidney dysfunction in mice. Interestingly, 33 of 36 knockouts developed cellular or mixed cellular and fibrous crescents at 7 wk of age (14.19±3.86% of total glomeruli in knockouts vs. 0% in control littermates, n=12-36, P=0.04). All of the seven knockouts developed crescents at 12 wk of age (30.92±11.961% of total glomeruli in knockouts vs. 0% in control littermates, n=4-7, P=0.002). Most notably, bridging cells between the glomerular tuft and the parietal basement membrane as well as the cellular crescents were immunostaining positive for WT1, p-S6, HIF1α, and Cxcr4. Furthermore, continuously administrating rapamycin starting at 7 wk of age for 5 wk abolished crescents as well as the induction of p-S6, HIF1α, and Cxcr4 in the glomeruli from the knockouts. Together, it is concluded that mTORC1 activation in podocytes promotes cellular crescent formation, and targeting this signaling may shed new light on the treatment of patients with crescentic glomerular diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antibodies against gastrointestinal antigens may indicate altered microbiota and immune responses in the gut. Recent experimental data suggest a connection between gastrointestinal immune responses and CNS autoimmunity. METHODS Antibodies against gliadin, tissue transglutaminase (tTG), intrinsic factor (IF), parietal cells (PC) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ASCA) were screened in the sera of 45 patients with AQP4-seropositive neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and NMO spectrum diseases (NMO/NMO-SD), 17 patients with AQP4-seronegative NMO, 85 patients with clinically definite multiple sclerosis (MS), and 48 healthy controls (HC). RESULTS Thirty-seven percentages of patients with AQP4-seropositive NMO/NMO-SD and 28% of patients with MS had at least one particular antibody in contrast to 8% of HC (P < 0.01, respectively). Antibodies were most common (46%) in AQP4-seropositive myelitis (P = 0.01 versus HS, P = 0.05 versus MS). Anti-gliadin and ASCA were more frequent in the AQP4-seropositive NMO-spectrum compared to controls (P = 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively). CONCLUSION Antibody responses against gastrointestinal antigens are common in MS and AQP4-seropositive NMO/NMO-SD, especially in longitudinally extensive myelitis.

Abstract
Huntingtin interacting protein 1 related (Hip1r) is an F-actin- and clathrin-binding protein involved in vesicular trafficking that is crucial for parietal cell function and epithelial cell homeostasis in the stomach. Gastric parietal cells in Hip1r-deficient mice are lost by apoptotic cell death, which leads to a progressive epithelial cell derangement, including glandular hypertrophy, zymogenic cell loss and expansion of a metaplastic mucous cell lineage known as spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM). The epithelial cell changes are associated with infiltration of inflammatory cells. As inflammatory mediators, such as IFNγ, have been shown to contribute to the development of the gastric epithelial cell metaplasia after Helicobacter infection, we tested whether IFNγ played a role in the spontaneous progressive epithelial metaplasia observed in Hip1r-deficient mice. Hip1r-deficient mice were crossed with IFNγ-deficient mice and single- and double-mutant mice were analyzed at 3 and 12 months of age. Histopathology scoring showed that loss of IFNγ tempered the spontaneous development of metaplastic lesions in Hip1r-deficient mice. Loss of IFNγ was observed to abrogate the glandular hypertrophy evident in Hip1r mutant stomach, although increased epithelial cell proliferation and elevated gastrin levels were not affected by the presence or absence of this pro-inflammatory cytokine. An analysis of cell lineage markers in the double-mutant mice demonstrated that IFNγ specifically affected the development of metaplastic mucous cells in the neck region, whereas the parietal cell, surface mucous cell and zymogenic cell alterations remained similar to the histopathology in the Hip1r mutant. Morphometric analysis showed that IFNγ was required for the mucous cell hypertrophy and hyperplasia observed in Hip1r-deficient mice. Together, these findings demonstrate that IFNγ is critical for the development of the gastric epithelial cell metaplasia that results from parietal cell atrophy in the Hip1r-deficient mice.

Abstract
SAMP1/YitFcs mice serve as a model of Crohn's disease, and we have used them to assess gastritis. Gastritis was compared in SAMP1/YitFcs, AKR, and C57BL/6 mice by histology, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Gastric acid secretion was measured in ligated stomachs, while anti-parietal cell antibodies were assayed by immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot assay. SAMP1/YitFcs mice display a corpus-dominant, chronic gastritis with multifocal aggregates of mononuclear cells consisting of T and B lymphocytes. Relatively few aggregates were observed elsewhere in the stomach. The infiltrates in the oxyntic mucosa were associated with the loss of parietal cell mass. AKR mice, the founder strain of the SAMP1/YitFcs, also have gastritis, although they do not develop ileitis. Genetic studies using SAMP1/YitFcs-C57BL/6 congenic mice showed that the genetic regions regulating ileitis had comparable effects on gastritis. The majority of the cells in the aggregates expressed the T cell marker CD3 or the B cell marker B220. Adoptive transfer of SAMP1/YitFcs CD4(+) T helper cells, with or without B cells, into immunodeficient recipients induced a pangastritis and duodenitis. SAMP1/YitFcs and AKR mice manifest hypochlorhydria and anti-parietal cell antibodies. These data suggest that common genetic factors controlling gastroenteric disease in SAMP1/YitFcs mice regulate distinct pathogenic mechanisms causing inflammation in separate sites within the digestive tract.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autoimmune atrophic body gastritis (ABG) and pernicious anaemia are prototypical, organ-specific autoimmune diseases whose prevalence in the general population is 2.0 vs 2 and 0.15-1%, respectively. The incidence of disease increases with age and is frequently associated with other autoimmune disorders such as type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Early diagnosis of ABG/pernicious anaemia is essential for the prevention and/or treatment before manifestations of chronic disease become irreversible. Parietal cell autoantibody detection via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is currently the most widely used biomarker of disease with diagnosis confirmed by subsequent immunohistochemistry via biopsy. METHODS To improve the assay we designed a specific, molecularly defined radioimmunoprecipitation assay for early detection of ABG, targeting its major antigen, the gastric H+/K+ ATPase 4A subunit ATP4A. RESULTS The major antigenic domain in ATP4A was tested against a panel of sera from new onset patients with T1DM which tested positive for the gold standard T1DM autoantibodies (IAA, IA2A, GAD65A, and ZnT8A). Significant immunoreactivity to ATP4A was measured (25%) while 6% of first-degree relatives of subjects with T1DM who were sero-negative for T1DM autoantigens were positive for ATP4A autoantibodies. ATP4A antibody prevalence increased with age of onset of T1DM, which is atypical of other T1DM autoantibodies. Immunoreactivity to ATP4A, unlike that of T1DM antigens, demonstrates a significant gender bias in newly diagnosed individuals with T1DM. CONCLUSION Although the utility of the assay as a biomarker for T1DM is likely limited, it may serve as an improved indicator of ABG.

Abstract
Huntingtin-interacting protein 1-related (Hip1r) is highly expressed in gastric parietal cells, where it participates in vesicular trafficking associated with acid secretion. Hip1r-deficient mice have a progressive remodeling of the mucosa, including apoptotic loss of parietal cells, glandular hypertrophy, mucous cell metaplasia, and reduced numbers of zymogenic cells. In this study, we characterized gastric gland development in wild-type and Hip1r-deficient mice to define normal development, as well as the timing and sequence of the cellular transformation events in the mutant stomach. Postnatal (newborn to 8-wk-old) stomachs were examined by histological and gene expression analysis. At birth, gastric glands in wild-type and mutant mice were rudimentary and mature gastric epithelial cells were not apparent, although marker expression was detected for most cell lineages. Interestingly, newborns exhibited unusual cell types, including a novel surface cell filled with lipid and cells that coexpressed markers of mature mucous neck and zymogenic cells. Glandular morphogenesis proceeded rapidly in both genotypes, with gastric glands formed by weaning at 3 wk of age. In the Hip1r-deficient stomach, epithelial cell remodeling developed in a progressive manner. Initially, in the perinatal stomach, cellular changes were limited to parietal cell apoptosis. Other epithelial cell changes, including apoptotic loss of zymogenic cells and expansion of metaplastic mucous cells, emerged several weeks later when the glands were morphologically mature. Thus, parietal cell loss appeared to be the initiating event in Hip1r-deficient mice, with secondary remodeling of the other gastric epithelial cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Gastric stem cells are located in the isthmus of the gastric glands and give rise to epithelial progenitors that undergo bipolar migration and differentiation into pit and oxyntic lineages. Although gastric mucus neck cells located below the isthmus express trefoil factor family 2 (TFF2) protein, TFF2 messenger RNA transcripts are concentrated in cells above the neck region in normal corpus mucosa, suggesting that TFF2 transcription is a marker of gastric progenitor cells. METHODS Using a BAC strategy, we generated a transgenic mouse with a tamoxifen-inducible Cre under the control of the TFF2 promoter (TFF2-BAC-Cre(ERT2)) and analyzed the lineage derivation from TFF2 mRNA transcript-expressing (TTE) cells. RESULTS TTE cells were localized to the isthmus, above and distinct from TFF2 protein-expressing mucus neck cells. Lineage tracing revealed that these cells migrated toward the bottom of the gland within 20 days, giving rise to parietal, mucous neck, and chief cells, but not to enterochromaffin-like-cell. Surface mucus cells were not derived from TTE cells and the progeny of the TTE lineage did not survive beyond 200 days. TTE cells were localized in the isthmus adjacent to doublecortin CaM kinase-like-1(+) putative progenitor cells. Induction of spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia with DMP-777-induced acute parietal cell loss revealed that this metaplastic phenotype might arise in part through transdifferentiation of chief cells as opposed to expansion of mucus neck or progenitor cells. CONCLUSIONS TFF2 transcript-expressing cells are progenitors for mucus neck, parietal and zymogenic, but not for pit or enterochromaffin-like cell lineages in the oxyntic gastric mucosa.

Abstract
The epithelium of the mammalian gastric body comprises multiple cell types replenished by a single stem cell. The adult conformation of cell lineages occurs well after birth; hence, study of genes regulating stem cell activity is facilitated by inducible systems for gene deletion. However, there is a potential pitfall involving the commonly used inducible Cre recombinase system to delete genes: we report here that induction of Cre using standard doses of tamoxifen led to marked spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia of the stomach within days and profound atrophy of the entire epithelium with foci of hyperplasia by 2 wk even in the absence of loxP-flanked alleles. Cre induction caused genotoxicity with TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL)-positive apoptosis (TUNEL-positive cells) and increased levels of DNA damage markers (gammaH2AX, p53, DDIT3, GADD45A). Although Cre was expressed globally by use of a chicken actin promoter, the effects were almost entirely stomach specific. Despite severe injury, a subset of mice showed near complete healing of the gastric mucosa 11-12 wk after Cre induction, suggesting substantial gastric regenerative capacity. Finally, we show that nongenotoxic doses of tamoxifen could be used to specifically delete loxP-flanked Bmpr1a, the receptor for bone morphogenetic protein 2, 4, and 7, causing antral polyps and marked antral-pyloric hyperplasia, consistent with previous reports on Bmpr1a. Together, the results show dose-dependent, potentially reversible sensitivity of the gastric mucosa to Cre genotoxicity. Thus we propose that tamoxifen induction of Cre could be used to induce genotoxic injury to study the regenerative capacity of the gastric epithelial stem cell.

Abstract
The fact that the acid-secreting parietal cells undergo continuous renewal has been ignored by many gastroenterologists and cell biologists. In the past, it was thought that these cells were static. However, by using (3)H-thymidine radioautography in combination with electron microscopy, it was possible to demonstrate that parietal cells belong to a continuously renewing epithelial cell lineage. In the gastric glands, stem cells anchored in the isthmus region are responsible for the production of parietal cells. The stem cells give rise to three main progenitors: prepit, preneck and preparietal cells. Parietal cells develop either directly from the non-cycling preparietal cells or less commonly via differentiation of the cycling prepit and preneck cell progenitors. The formation of a parietal cell is a sequential process which involves diminishment of glycocalyx, production of cytoplasmic tubulovesicles, an increase in number and length of microvilli, an increase in number and size of mitochondria, and finally, expansion and invagination of the apical membrane with the formation of an intracellular canalicular system. Little is known about the genetic counterparts of these morphological events. However, the time dimension of parietal cell production and the consequences of its alteration on the biological features of the gastric gland are well documented. The production of a new parietal cell takes about 2 d. However, mature parietal cells have a long lifespan during which they migrate bi-directionally while their functional activity for acid secretion gradually diminishes. Following an average lifespan of about 54 d, in mice, old parietal cells undergo degeneration and elimination. Various approaches for genetic alteration of the development of parietal cells have provided evidence in support of their role as governors of the stem/progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation programs. Revealing the dynamic features and the various roles of parietal cells would help in a better understanding of the biological features of the gastric glands and would hopefully help in providing a basis for the development of new strategies for prevention, early detection and/or therapy of various gastric disorders in which parietal cells are involved, such as atrophic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer.

Abstract
AIM To test whether the expression and activity of H,K-ATPase in parietal cells would be affected by cigarette smoke extract. METHODS Extracts of cigarette smoke were administered into mice by gastric gavage (5 mg/kg body weight/day) for 3 d or in drinking water for 7 or 14 d. For the latter, each day a mouse consumed 5 mL water containing extracts of two cigarettes, on average. Control littermate mice received only vehicle. To compare the amount of H,K-ATPase in control and smoke-treated mice, the stomach was processed for Western blotting and immunohistochemical analysis using monoclonal antibodies specific for alpha- or beta-subunits of H,K-ATPase. The p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity assay was used as a measurement for K-dependent H,K-ATPase activity. RESULTS Probed transblots showed an increase in the amount of H,K-ATPase in smoke-treated mice which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and was found to be due to increased amounts of protein per parietal cell rather than an increased parietal cell number. The increase in the amount of H,K-ATPase was associated with an enhancement of its enzymatic activity. K-dependent activity in control and smoke-treated mice was significantly different (respectively, 0.12 micromol/mg vs 0.27 micromol/mg per minute, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Administration of cigarette smoke extract is associated with an increase in the amount and activity of H,K-ATPase and hence, smokers are susceptible to development of peptic ulcer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trefoil factor 1 (TFF1/pS2) is a major secretory product of the stomach and TFF1 knockout mice constantly develop adenomas and occasional carcinomas in the pyloric antrum. AIM To analyse the role of TFF1 in the differentiation of gastric epithelial cell lineages using oxyntic mucosae from normal and TFF1 knockout mice. METHODS The various cell lineages were labelled using specific markers of pit, neck, parietal, and enteroendocrine cells. Patterns of TFF1, TFF2, and TFF3 expressions were defined using western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and/or immunogold electron microscopy. RESULTS In normal mice, starting from postnatal day 1 (P1), TFF1 and TFF2 were produced by mucus secreting cells of the developing epithelium. At P7, TFF3 expression occurred in pit and parietal cells. When oxyntic glands were compartmentalised, at P21 and in older mice, TFF1 and TFF2 were expressed in pit and neck cells, respectively, and TFF3 was no longer in parietal cells but became a feature of zymogenic cells. In TFF1 deficient mice, alteration of oxyntic epithelial differentiation became obvious at P21, showing significant amplification of pit cells at the expense of parietal cells. At the molecular level, lack of TFF1 induced dramatic inhibition of TFF2 expression and more precocious TFF3 expression. CONCLUSION In the oxyntic mucosa, all three TFFs are produced in a lineage specific manner and TFF1 is essential in maintaining the normal commitment programme of epithelial progenitors.

Abstract
(1) The phorbolester 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), an activator of protein kinase C (PKC), inhibits cholinergic stimulation of gastric acid secretion. We observed that this effect strongly correlated with the inhibition of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) activity in rabbit parietal cells. (2) The aim of this study was to specify the function of PKC-alpha in cholinergically stimulated H(+) secretion. PKC-alpha represents the only calcium-dependent PKC isoenzyme that has been detected in rabbit parietal cells. (3) Gö 6976, an inhibitor of calcium-dependent PKC, concentration-dependently antagonized the inhibitory effect of TPA, and, therefore, revealed the action of PKC-alpha on carbachol-induced acid secretion in rabbit parietal cells. (4) TPA exerted no additive inhibition of carbachol-stimulated acid secretion if acid secretion was partially inhibited by the potent CaMKII inhibitor 1-[N,O-bis(5-isoquinolinsulfonyl)-N-methyl-L-tyrosyl]-4-phenyl-piperazine (KN-62). (5) Since both kinase modulators, TPA and KN-62, affected no divergent signal transduction pathways in the parietal cell, an in vitro model has been used to study if PKC directly targets CaMKII. CaMKII purified from parietal cell-containing gastric mucosa of pig, was transphosphorylated by purified cPKC containing PKC-alpha up to 1.8 mol P(i) per mol CaMKII in vitro. The autonomy site of CaMKII was not transphosphorylated by PKC. (6) The phosphotransferase activity of the purified CaMKII was in vitro inhibited after transphosphorylation by PKC if calmodulin was absent during transphosphorylation. Attenuation of CaMKII activity by PKC showed strong similarity to the downregulation of CaMKII by basal autophosphorylation. (7) Our results suggest that PKC-alpha and CaMKII are closely functionally linked in a cholinergically induced signalling pathway in rabbit parietal cells. We assume that in cholinergically stimulated parietal cells PKC-alpha transinhibits CaMKII activity, resulting in an attenuation of acid secretion.

Abstract
The effects of a novel histamine H2 receptor antagonist (FRG-8813) on the restoration process of gastric epithelial wounds were assessed using an in vitro wound healing model. FRG-8813 (1, 10 mol/L) was added to a complete confluent monolayer cell sheet after artificial wounding. The restoration process was analysed by a time-lapse video system and cell migration, proliferation and apoptosis were assessed. Hydrogen peroxide (1, 3 mmol/L) inhibited restoration after wounding by suppressing cell migration and proliferation and induced epithelial cell apoptosis around the wound. The addition of FRG-8813 abolished the hydrogen peroxide-induced retardation and prevented apoptosis, although FRG-8813 itself did not enhance wound healing. FRG-8813 may act as a radical scavenger as well as having an anti-secretory action and may have favourable effects on peptic ulcer healing.

Abstract
1. The acid secretagogue effect of gastrin is mainly mediated by the release of enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cell histamine, but the mechanism of muscarinic stimulation of acid secretion remains unclear. The results of studying aminopyrine uptake in isolated parietal cells, and histamine release in isolated ECL cells suggest that muscarinic agents may act both directly on the parietal cell and indirectly via histamine release from ECL cells. 2. We examined parietal and ECL cell responses to the muscarinic agent carbamylcholine (carbachol) in conscious rats and in rat isolated vascularly perfused stomachs. 3. Intravenous carbachol stimulated acid secretion in conscious gastric fistula rats and increased H+K+ ATPase mRNA abundance, indicating activation of parietal cells. In these experiments there was no increase in portal venous histamine, or in oxyntic mucosal histidine decarboxylase (HDC) enzyme activity and HDC mRNA abundance. 4. In rat isolated stomachs stimulated with carbachol in the dose range 10 nM(-1) mM only the 1 microM concentration increased venous histamine significantly. 5. We concluded that the muscarinic agent carbachol stimulates acid secretion and H+K+ ATPase mRNA in vivo by a direct effect on the parietal cell, that does not depend on the release of ECL cell histamine.
