Abstract
P-type ATPases can be expressed in several cell systems. The baculovirus expressions system uses an insect virus to enter and express proteins in Sf9 insect cells. This expression system is a lytic system in which the cells will die a few days after viral infection. Subsequently, the expressed proteins can be isolated. Insect cells are a perfect system to study P-type ATPases as they have little or no endogenous Na,K-ATPase activity and other ATPase activities can be inhibited easily. Here we describe in detail the expression and isolation of Na,K-ATPase and H,K-ATPase isoforms with the baculovirus expression system.

Abstract
The present studies were designed to examine the effects of ClC-2 ablation on cellular morphology, parietal cell abundance, H/K ATPase expression, parietal cell ultrastructure and acid secretion using WT and ClC-2-/- mouse stomachs. Cellular histology, morphology and proteins were examined using imaging techniques, electron microscopy and western blot. The effect of histamine on the pH of gastric contents was measured. Acid secretion was also measured using methods and secretagogues previously established to give maximal acid secretion and morphological change. Compared to WT, ClC-2-/- gastric mucosal histological organization appeared disrupted, including dilation of gastric glands, shortening of the gastric gland region and disorganization of all cell layers. Parietal cell numbers and H/K ATPase expression were significantly reduced by 34% (P<0.05) and 53% (P<0.001) respectively and cytoplasmic tubulovesicles appeared markedly reduced on electron microscopic evaluation without evidence of canalicular expansion. In WT parietal cells, ClC-2 was apparent in a similar cellular location as the H/K ATPase by immunofluorescence and appeared associated with tubulovesicles by immunogold electron microscopy. Histamine-stimulated [H+] of the gastric contents was significantly (P<0.025) lower by 9.4 fold (89%) in the ClC-2-/- mouse compared to WT. Histamine/carbachol stimulated gastric acid secretion was significantly reduced (range 84–95%, P<0.005) in ClC-2-/- compared to WT, while pepsinogen secretion was unaffected. Genetic ablation of ClC-2 resulted in reduced gastric gland region, reduced parietal cell number, reduced H/K ATPase, reduced tubulovesicles and reduced stimulated acid secretion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of H. pylori and crude extracted proteins secreted by H. pylori (broth culture filtrate protein, BCF-P) on acid secretion from isolated rabbit parietal cells. METHODS Parietal cells from rabbit gastric mucosa were isolated and enriched with digestion and elutriation. H. pylori (NCTC 11637, CagA+ VacA+) were grown in liquid broth culture and BCF-P was precipitated with ammonium sulfate. The vacuolation activity of BCF-P was evaluated with neutral red dye uptake test in HeLa cell. Isolated parietal cells were incubated with H. pylori (bacteria/cell = 100:1) for 2 h and 16 h,or BCF-P (100 microLg/ml) for 1 h and 12 h. Acid secretion from parietal cells was studied using 14C-aminopyrine (14C-AP) accumulation indirectly and H+-K+ ATPase alpha subunit mRNA expression was assessed using RT-PCR. RESULTS (1) BCF-P containing vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA) with vacuolation activity on HeLa cells had positive result on neutral red uptake test. (2) The basal expression of H+-K+ ATPase alpha subunit mRNA could be detected in isolated parietal cells and 14C-AP accumulation was significantly increased in response to the stimulation of histamine with different concentrations for 30 min (P < 0.05). These results indicated that the isolated parietal cells retain relative intact acid secretion function. (3)The histamine (1.0 x 10(-4) mol/L) stimulated acid secretion was inhibited sustainedly in response to H. pylori by 81% at 2 h and by 94% at 16 h (P < 0.05). However, H+-K+ ATPase alpha subunit mRNA expression was up-regulated in the acute period (2 h) and was down-regulated in the chronic period (16 h) by H. pylori (P < 0.05). (4) BCF-P significantly inhibited the histamine-stimulated acid secretion by 24% at 1 h and by 58% at 12 h (P < 0.05), and this inhibition was accompanied by the down-regulated expression of H+-K+ ATPase alpha subunit mRNA. Conclusions Intact H. pylori and VacA secreted by H. pylori could directly inhibit histamine-stimulated acid secretion from parietal cells and this inhibition may be mediated by the down-regulated H+-K+ ATPase expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), comprise a new, innovative group of competitive and reversible inhibitors of the gastric H+/K+ ATPase. Our aim was to identify sites of expression of the H+/K+ ATPase that are potential targets of these compounds by examining the expression profile of the gastric H+/K+ ATPase in the human body from a broad range of tissues. MATERIAL AND METHODS Expression profiling was done by quantitative mRNA analysis (TaqMan PCR). Tissues that were mRNA-positive for the alpha subunit were investigated further by Western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the presence of gastric H+/K+ ATPase protein. RESULTS In addition to the very high expression levels in the stomach, the adrenal gland, cerebellum and pancreas gave unexpectedly positive mRNA signals for the alpha subunit of gastric H +/K+ ATPase. However, they were negative for mRNA of the beta subunit, and Western blot and IHC were negative for alpha and beta subunit protein. Another group of tissues with low alpha subunit mRNA expression including the frontal cortex, cortex grey matter, testis, thymus and larynx submucosa were also found negative for both alpha and beta subunit protein. In contrast to mouse kidney, no gastric H+/K+ ATPase could be detected in human kidney. CONCLUSIONS We therefore conclude that the only organ in humans expressing significant levels of the P-CAB target gastric H+/K+ ATPase is the stomach.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection of the human gastric body induces hypochlorhydria by perturbing acid secretion. H. pylori inhibits parietal cell H,K-ATPase alpha-subunit (HKalpha) gene and protein expression, providing a mechanistic basis for clinical hypochlorhydria. Given that H. pylori infection increases gastric mucosal IL-1beta, an acid secretory inhibitor, we investigated the role of IL-1beta in H. pylori-mediated inhibition of HKalpha transcription. Human gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS) cells were transfected with promoter-reporter constructs containing human HKalpha 5'-flanking sequence deletions. IL-1beta (10 ng/ml) had no effect on the transcriptional activity of six progressively shorter deletion constructs of the HKalpha promoter (HKalpha2179-HKalpha340) and significantly stimulated the activity of HKalpha206, HKalpha177, HKalpha165, and HKalpha102 deletion constructs (80%, 100%, 46%, and 35%, respectively). H. pylori inhibited the transcriptional activity of HKalpha2179, HKalpha206, HKalpha177, and HKalpha165; IL-1beta relieved the H. pylori inhibition of HKalpha2179 and HKalpha206 activity but not HKalpha177 and HKalpha165 activity. AGS cell pretreatment with a MEK1/2 inhibitor prevented the IL-1beta-mediated stimulation, but p38 and JNK pathway inhibitors did not. IL-1beta mRNA levels in AGS cells were low and unaffected by H. pylori, and ELISAs of H. pylori-conditioned AGS culture media showed no measurable IL-1beta secretion. These data indicate that an IL-1beta-dependent cis-response element lies downstream of -206 nt in the HKalpha promoter and that IL-1beta-mediated upregulation of HKalpha transcription is affected by an ERK1/2 kinase signal pathway. We conclude that an IL-1beta-responsive HKalpha cis element positively regulates HKalpha gene transcription in shortened deletion constructs and that H. pylori-induced inhibition of HKalpha transcription is not mediated by IL-1beta.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Gastric acid secretion is downregulated by Helicobacter pylori infection and upregulated after its eradication, but the mechanisms are still unclear. We examined the effects of H pylori eradication on the number of parietal cells and on expression of molecules functioning in acid secretion in the human gastric mucosa. METHODS We enrolled 111 consecutive men with chronic gastritis induced by H pylori. Biopsy specimens were endoscopically obtained before and 12 weeks after successful eradication of H pylori and parietal cell numbers were counted. mRNA expression levels of H+/K+-adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+-ATPase), anion exchanger 2, M3 muscarinic receptor, intrinsic factor, and interleukin 1beta were determined with a real time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction method. The severity of gastric atrophy was evaluated using the serum pepsinogen I/II ratio. RESULTS No significant difference was observed in parietal cell numbers before and after H pylori eradication. Median mRNA expression levels of H+/K+-ATPase in the gastric mucosa increased 250-fold after H pylori eradication accompanied by attenuation of interleukin 1beta. A large increase in H+/K+-ATPase expression was observed even in patients with severe atrophic gastritis. In contrast, fold increases in mRNA expression levels, including intrinsic factor, anion exchanger 2, and M3 muscarinic receptor, after eradication therapy, were limited to 1.4, 2.3, and 2.5 times, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In the absence of alteration of parietal cell number, gastric H+/K+-ATPase mRNA expression was markedly restored after successful H pylori eradication, suggesting a central role for the restoration of H+/K+-ATPase expression in gastric acid secretion recovery after H pylori eradication.

Abstract
Consistent visceral asymmetry in vertebrates raises fascinating questions about the developmental mechanisms and evolutionary origin of fixed chirality of the left-right axis. One persistent controversy is whether consistently biased asymmetry is a later innovation imposed on a bilaterally symmetrical primitive body-plan, or whether asymmetry is a fundamental property predating the bilateria. The morphology of planaria suggests proximity to the origin of the bilateral body-plan, and they are commonly thought to be left-right symmetrical, as no consistent anatomical asymmetries have been described despite over a century of study of regeneration. Here, we show that D. japonica possess a consistent functional asymmetry in eye patterning defects caused by inhibition of H+/K+-ATPase activity (an ion flux mechanism recently shown to be an important early step in the asymmetry of several vertebrate embryos). Moreover, an endogenous transcript of the non-gastric H+/K+-ATPase subunit alpha is expressed in the head blastema shortly after amputation. Taken together, these data suggest that (1) left-right asymmetry is at least as old as planaria, (2) subtle functional asymmetries should be sought in other more primitive model systems that are believed to be symmetrical, and (3) symmetrical paired structures may in fact contain information about their position on the L or R side.

Abstract
Intrathymic expression of tissue-specific self-Ags can mediate tolerance of self-reactive T cells. However, in this study we define circumstances by which thymic expression of a tissue-specific autoepitope enhances positive selection of disease-causing, self-reactive T cells. An immunodominant gastritogenic epitope, namely the gastric H/K ATPase beta subunit(253-277) (H/Kbeta(253-277)), was attached to the C terminus of the invariant chain (Ii) and the hybrid Ii (Ii-H/Kbeta(253-277)) expressed in mice under control of the Ii promoter. The Ii-H/Kbeta(253-277) fusion protein was localized to MHC class II-expressing cells in the thymus and periphery of Ii-H/Kbeta(253-277) transgenic mice. In one transgenic line the level of presentation in the periphery (spleen) was insufficient to activate naive, low affinity H/Kbeta(253-277)-specific transgenic T cells (1E4-TCR), whereas thymic presentation of H/Kbeta(253-277) enhanced positive selection of 1E4-TCR cells in Ii-H/Kbeta(253-277)/1E4-TCR double-transgenic mice. Furthermore, Ii-H/Kbeta(253-277)/1E4-TCR double-transgenic mice had an increased incidence of autoimmune gastritis compared with 1E4-TCR single-transgenic mice, demonstrating that the 1E4 T cells that seeded the periphery of Ii-H/Kbeta(253-277) mice were pathogenic. Therefore, low levels of tissue-specific Ags in the thymus can result in positive selection of low avidity, self-reactive T cells. These findings also suggest that the precise level of tissue-specific Ags in the thymus may be an important consideration in protection against autoimmune disease and that perturbation of the levels of self-Ags may be detrimental.

Abstract
CD4(+) T cells that lead to autoimmune gastritis (AIG) in BALB/c mice are either Th1 or Th2 cells. To test whether the phenotype of disease is related to the particular TCR expressed by the pathogenic cell, we have generated several lines of TCR transgenic mice using receptors cloned from pathogenic Th1 or Th2 cells. We previously described spontaneous inflammatory AIG in A23 mice, caused by the transgenic expression of the TCR from a Th1 clone, TXA23. In this study we describe the generation of A51 mouse lines, transgenic for the TCR of a CD4(+) self-reactive Th2 clone, TXA51. A proportion of A51 mice spontaneously develop AIG by 10 wk of age, with a disease characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastric mucosa and Th2 differentiation of transgenic T cells in the gastric lymph node. The Th2 phenotype of this autoimmune response seems to be related to a low availability of MHC class II-self peptide complexes. This in vivo model of spontaneous Th2-mediated, organ-specific autoimmunity provides a unique example in which the clonotypic TCR conveys the Th2 disease phenotype.

Abstract
The structural organization of nongastric H-K-ATPase, unlike that of closely related Na-K-ATPase and gastric H-K-ATPase, is not well characterized. Recently, we demonstrated that nongastric H-K-ATPase α-subunit (αng) is expressed in apical membranes of rodent prostate. Its highest level, as well as relative abundance, with respect to α1-isoform of Na-K-ATPase, was observed in anterior lobe. Here, we aimed to determine the subunit composition of nongastric H-K-ATPase through the detailed analysis of the expression of all known X-K-ATPase β-subunits in rat anterior prostate (AP). RT-PCR detects transcripts of β-subunits of Na-K-ATPase only. Measurement of absolute protein content of these three β-subunit isoforms, with the use of quantitative Western blotting of AP membrane proteins, indicates that the abundance order is β1> β3≫ β2. Immunohistochemical experiments demonstrate that β1is present predominantly in apical membranes, coinciding with αng, whereas β3is localized in the basolateral compartment, coinciding with α1. This is the first direct demonstration of the αng-β1colocalization in situ indicating that, in rat AP, αngassociates only with β1. The existence of αng-β1complex has been confirmed by immunoprecipitation experiments. These results indicate that β1-isoform functions as the authentic subunit of Na-K-ATPase and nongastric H-K-ATPase. Putatively, the intracellular polarization of X-K-ATPase isoforms depends on interaction with other proteins.

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
The gastric H+, K+-ATPase is a proton pump that is responsible for gastric acid secretion and that actively transports protons and K+ ions in opposite directions to generate in excess of a million-fold gradient across the membrane under physiological conditions. This pump is also a target molecule of proton pump inhibitors which are used for the clinical treatment of hyperacidity. In this review, we wish to summarize the molecular regulation of this pump based on mutational studies, particularly those used for the identification of binding sites for cations and specific inhibitors. Recent reports by Toyoshima et al (2000, 2002) presented precise three-dimensional (3-D) structures of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-ATPase, which belongs to the same family as the gastric H+, K+-ATPase. We have studied the structure-function relationships for the gastric H+, K+-ATPase using 3-D structures constructed by homology modeling of the related SR Ca2+-ATPase, which was used as a template molecule. We also discuss in this review, the regulation of cell surface expression and synthesis control of the gastric proton pump.

Abstract
Stable cell lines expressing the gastric proton pump alpha- and/or beta-subunits were constructed. The cell line co-expressing the alpha- and beta-subunits showed inward Rb(+) transport, which was activated by Rb(+) in a concentration-dependent manner. In the alpha+beta-expressing cell line, rapid recovery of intracellular pH was also observed after acid load, indicating that this cell line transported protons outward. These ion transport activities were inhibited by a proton pump inhibitor, 2-methyl-8-(phenylmethoxy)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-acetonitrile (SCH 28080). In a membrane fraction of the alpha+beta-expressing cell line, K(+)-stimulated ATPase (K(+)-ATPase) activity and the acylphosphorylation of the alpha-subunit were observed, both of which were also inhibited by SCH 28080. The specific activity and properties of the K(+)-ATPase were comparable to those found in the native gastric proton pump. In the stable cell lines, the alpha-subunit was retained in the intracellular compartment and was unstable in the absence of the beta-subunit, but it was stabilized and reached the cell surface in the presence of the beta-subunit. On the other hand, the beta-subunit was stable and able to travel to the cell surface in the absence of the alpha-subunit. These cell lines are ideal for the structure-function study of ion transport by the gastric proton pump as well as for characterization of the cellular regulation of surface expression of the functional proton pump.

We previously demonstrated that the alpha-subunit of human nongastric H,K-ATPase (Atp1al1) can assemble with the gastric H,K-ATPase beta-subunit (betaHK) into an active ion pump upon coexpression in Xenopus oocytes. To gain insight into enzymatic functions, we have analyzed the Atp1al1-betaHK complex using a baculovirus expression system. The efficient formation of the functional Atp1al1-betaHK complex in membranes of Sf-21 insect cells was obtained upon co-infection with recombinant baculoviruses expressing Atp1al1 and betaHK. Expression of either protein alone did not produce active ATPase. The effects of K(+), Na(+), pH, and ATP and inhibitors on ATPase activity of the recombinant Atp1al1-betaHK complex were analyzed. The Atp1al1-betaHK complex was shown to exhibit significant ATPase activity in nominally K(+)-free medium. The addition of K(+) stimulated the ATP hydrolysis up to 3-fold with K(m) approximately 116 microM K(+). The ATPase activity was moderately sensitive to ouabain and to SCH 28080 with apparent K(i) values in K(+)-free medium of approximately 64 microM and approximately 93 microM, respectively. Potassium exhibited strong antagonism toward both inhibitors. Assays of the ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity revealed inhibitory effects of Na(+) with the apparent K(i) of approximately 24 mM in the absence of added K(+) and with K(i) within the range of 60-70 mM in the presence of > or = 1 mM K(+). Thus, the human nongastric H,K-ATPase represented by the recombinant Atp1al1-betaHK complex exhibits enzymatic properties of K(+)-dependent ATPase sensitive to ouabain, SCH 28080, and Na(+). It differs from Na,K-ATPase in cation dependence and differs from gastric H,K-ATPase and Na,K-ATPase in sensitivity to inhibitors.

Abstract
Endocytosis is an important event in the epididymis as it contributes to a luminal environment conducive for sperm maturation. Principal and clear cells contain numerous lysosomes which degrade many substances internalized by endocytosis from the epididymal lumen. The interior of the lysosomes depends on low pH to activate the release of their enzymes and to activate their acid hydrolases. In the present study, H+K+ATPase was localized by light microscopy in the adult rat epididymis of intact and of orchidectomized animals supplemented with testosterone or not. In normal animals, numerous lysosomes of nonciliated cells of the efferent ducts were intensely reactive for anti-H+K+ATPase antibody. In the initial segment, only a few lysosomes of principal cells were reactive. In the intermediate zone of the epididymis, numerous lysosomes of principal cells were intensely reactive, while the number of intensely reactive lysosomes decreased progressively from the proximal caput to the distal caput with none being seen in the proximal corpus region. In the distal corpus and cauda regions, only a few lysosomes of some principal cells were reactive. In contrast, clear cells of all regions showed intense reactivity. Orchidectomy resulted in the abolishion of H+K+ATPase in lysosomes of principal cells of all regions except the initial segment. However, while clear cells of the caput and corpus regions also became unreactive, those of the cauda region remained as reactive as in controls. Orchidectomized animals supplemented with testosterone maintained a staining pattern similar to controls for both cell types. These observations demonstrate the presence in principal and clear cells of H+K+ ATPase which may have an important role in acidifying the interior of their lysosomes. However, there is a region-specific expression of H+K+ATPase in lysosomes of principal cells, unlike that for clear cells. In addition, H+K+ATPase expression in lysosomes of principal cells depends on testosterone in all regions except the initial segment. However, in the case of clear cells, only those of the caput and the corpus regions are dependent on testosterone, while those of the cauda region appear to be regulated by some other factor.

Abstract
The proton pump H+-K+-ATPase is the final common pathway mediating the production and secretion of hydrochloric acid by gastric parietal cells. The present studies were undertaken to examine whether the expression of gastric H+-K+-ATPase mRNA and protein changes are associated with the development of H+-K+-ATPase activity in the rat fundic gland. H+-K+-ATPase activity was examined in rat fundic gland at different stages from gestational day 18.5 to postnatal 8 weeks. The expression of H+-K+-ATPase mRNA was detected by in situ hybridization using a digoxigenin-labelled RNA probe with a tyramide signal amplification system. The expression of H+-K+-ATPase protein was evaluated by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry using antibodies against H+-K+-ATPase alpha- and beta-subunits. We found that H+-K+-ATPase enzyme activity was detectable from the onset of gland formation (day 19.5 of gestation) and increased with age in the developing rat fundic gland. Expression of mRNA and protein was also discernible at the same time, and a progressive increase in expressions was observed as rats developed. Our results suggested that in developing rat fundic gland, the expression of both mRNA and protein of H+-K+-ATPase increased with age in a manner that parallels the development of H+-K+-ATPase enzyme activity.

Abstract
Recently we have identified mRNA encoding a hitherto unknown mammalian X,K-ATPase beta-subunit expressed predominantly in muscle tissue (Pestov, N. B. et al. (1999) FEBS Lett. 456, 243-248). Here we demonstrate the existence of the predicted protein, designated as beta(m) (beta(muscle)), in human adult skeletal muscle membranes using immunoblotting with beta(m)-specific antibodies generated against recombinant polypeptide formed by extramembrane beta(m) domains. The electrophoretic mobility of beta(m) was shown to be abnormally low due to the presence of Glu-rich sequences. In contrast to mature forms of other known X,K-ATPase beta-subunits, carbohydrate moiety of beta(m) is sensitive to endoglycosidase H and appears to be composed of short high-mannose or hybrid N-glycans. This finding argues in favor of an intracellular location of beta(m) in human skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Na,K- and H,K-ATPase (X,K-ATPase) alpha subunits need association with a beta subunit for their maturation, but the authentic beta subunit of nongastric H,K-ATPase alpha subunits has not been identified. To better define alpha-beta interactions in these ATPases, we coexpressed human, nongastric H,K-ATPase alpha (AL1) and Na,K-ATPase alpha1 (alpha1NK) as well as AL1-alpha1 and alpha1-AL1 chimeras, which contain exchanged M9 and M10 membrane domains, together with each of the known beta subunits in Xenopus oocytes and followed their resistance to cellular and proteolytic degradation and their ER exit. We show that all beta subunits (gastric betaHK, beta1NK, beta2NK, beta3NK, or Bufo bladder beta) can associate efficiently with alpha1NK, but only gastric betaHK, beta2NK, and Bufo bladder beta can form stably expressed AL1-beta complexes that can leave the ER. The trypsin resistance and the forces of subunit interaction, probed by detergent resistance, are lower for AL1-beta complexes than for alpha1NK-beta complexes. Furthermore, chimeric alpha1-AL1 can be stabilized by beta subunits, but alpha1-AL1-gastric betaHK complexes are retained in the ER. On the other hand, chimeric AL1-alpha1 cannot be stabilized by any beta subunit. In conclusion, these results indicate that (1) none of the known beta subunits is the real partner subunit of AL1 but an as yet unidentified, authentic beta should have structural features resembling gastric betaHK, beta2NK, or Bufo bladder beta and (2) beta-mediated maturation of alpha subunits is a multistep process which depends on the membrane insertion properties of alpha subunits as well as on several discrete events of intersubunit interactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND How Helicobacter pylori infection affects gastric acid secretion has not been made clear. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of H. pylori infection on H+/K+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) mRNA in gastric fundic gland mucosa. METHODS Twenty patients with chronic gastritis and H. pylori infection were treated with lansoprazole and antibiotics. Before and 1 month after treatment gastroduodenoscopy was performed, and changes in the amount of H+/K+-ATPase mRNA in the fundic gland mucosa, gastric juice pH, and serum gastrin levels were determined. RESULTS The amount of H+/ K+-ATPase mRNA in the fundic gland mucosa was increased in patients with eradication of H. pylori, in whom significant decreases in gastric juice pH and serum gastrin levels were observed. No significant changes were observed in patients without eradication of H. pylori. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that one of the mechanisms by which H. pylori infection suppresses acid secretion is by the inhibition of proton pump synthesis in parietal cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Potassium depletion increases HCO3- reabsorption in outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD) by activation of colonic (c) H-K-ATPase (HKA). The purpose of the current experiments was to examine the role of the isoforms of HKA in HCO3- reabsorption by terminal inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells in potassium depletion. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a potassium-free diet and studied after 8 to 10 days. mRNA expression of HKA isoforms in terminal portion of inner medulla was examined and correlated with HCO3- reabsorption in the terminal IMCD. RESULTS Gastric (g) HKA mRNA decreased whereas colonic (c) HKA mRNA expression was heavily induced in terminal portion of inner medulla in potassium depleted rats. Net HCO3- flux (JtCO2) in terminal IMCD increased in potassium depletion (4.56 to 7.06 pmol/min/mm tubule length, P < 0.001). In normal rats, 1 mM ouabain in perfusate had no effect on JtCO2, whereas 10 microM Schering 28080 (SCH) decreased JtCO2 to 2.4 (P < 0.002). In KD rats, 1 mM ouabain decreased JtCO2 to 4.9 (P < 0.005) and 10 microM SCH decreased JtCO2 to 3.3 (P < 0.001). However, the inhibitory effects of SCH and ouabain on JtCO2 in potassium depleted animals were not additive. CONCLUSIONS The data indicate that gHKA is suppressed whereas cHKA is induced in potassium depletion and mediates increased HCO3- reabsorption in terminal IMCD. The results further indicate that cHKA in vivo is sensitive to both SCH and ouabain.

Abstract
A guinea pig cDNA encoding the putative colonic H+-K+-ATPase alpha-subunit (T. Watanabe, M. Sato, K. Kaneko, T. Suzuki, T. Yoshida, and Y. Suzuki; GenBank accession no. D21854) was functionally expressed in HEK-293, a human kidney cell line. The cDNA for the putative colonic H+-K+-ATPase was cotransfected with cDNA for either rabbit gastric H+-K+-ATPase or Torpedo Na+-K+-ATPase beta-subunit. In both expressions, Na+-independent, K+-dependent ATPase (K+-ATPase) activity was detected in the membrane fraction of the cells, with a Michaelis-Menten constant for K+ of 0.68 mM. The expressed K+-ATPase activity was inhibited by ouabain, with its IC50 value being 52 microM. However, the activity was resistant to Sch-28080, an inhibitor specific for gastric H+-K+-ATPase. The ATPase was not functionally expressed in the absence of the beta-subunits. Therefore, it is concluded that the cDNA encodes the catalytic subunit (alpha-subunit) of the colonic H+-K+-ATPase. Although the beta-subunit of the colonic H+-K+-ATPase has not been identified yet, both gastric H+-K+-ATPase and Na+-K+-ATPase beta-subunits were found to act as a surrogate for the colonic beta-subunit for the functional expression of the ATPase. The present colonic H+-K+-ATPase first expressed in mammalian cells showed the highest ouabain sensitivity in expressed colonic H+-K+-ATPases so far reported (rat colonic in Xenopus oocytes had an IC50 = 0.4-1 mM; rat colonic in Sf9 cells had no ouabain sensitivity).

Abstract
The catalytic alpha-subunit of oligomeric P-type ATPases such as Na-K-ATPase and H-K-ATPase requires association with a beta-subunit after synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to become stably expressed and functionally active. In this study, we have expressed the beta-subunit of Xenopus gastric H-K-ATPase (betaHK) in Xenopus oocytes together with alpha-subunits of H-K-ATPase (alphaHK) or Na-K-ATPase (alphaNK) and have followed the biosynthesis, assembly, and cell surface expression of functional pumps. Immunoprecipitations of Xenopus betaHK from metabolically labeled oocytes show that it is well expressed and, when synthesized without alpha-subunits, can leave the ER and become fully glycosylated. Xenopus betaHK can associate with both coexpressed alphaHK and alphaNK, but the alpha-beta complexes formed are degraded rapidly in or close to the ER and do not produce functional pumps at the cell surface as assessed by 86Rb uptake. A possible explanation of these results is that Xenopus betaHK may contain a tissue-specific signal that is important in the formation or correct targeting of functional alpha-beta complexes in the stomach but that cannot be recognized in Xenopus oocytes and in consequence leads to cellular degradation of the alpha-beta complexes in this experimental system.

Abstract
Extracellular K+-dependent H+ extrusion after an acute acid load, an index of H/K exchange, was monitored in intercalated cells (ICs) from rat cortical collecting tubule (CCT) using ratiometric fluorescence imaging of the intracellular pH (pHi) indicator, 2',7'-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF). The hypothesis tested was that 12- to 14-day NaCl deprivation increases H-K-ATPase in rat ICs. The rate of H/K exchange in the low-NaCl ICs was double that of controls. In control ICs, H/K exchange was inhibited by Sch-28080 (10 microM). In the low-NaCl ICs, it was partially blocked by Sch-28080 or ouabain (1 mM). Simultaneous addition of both inhibitors abolished K-dependent pHi recovery. The induced H/K exchange observed with NaCl restriction was not due to elevated plasma aldosterone as evidenced by experiments on ICs from rats implanted with osmotic minipumps administering aldosterone such that plasma levels were comparable to those of NaCl-deficient rats. The results suggest that NaCl deficiency induces two isoforms of H-K-ATPase in ICs and that this effect is not mediated by elevated plasma aldosterone.

Abstract
Results of previous studies suggest that major surgical resections or reconstructions of the distal small intestine can alter morphologic and functional properties of the stomach. Little is known about the effect of lesser surgical alterations such as construction of an ileostomy, on the morphology and transport properties of the gastric mucosa. To evaluate the effects of ileostomy, Sprague-Dawley rats underwent sham laparotomy (n = 10) or loop ileostomy construction (n = 10). After body weights had stabilized ( approximately 21 days) the animals were killed. Gastric mucosal scrapings were prepared for Northern blot analysis of messenger RNA levels for (1) H/K ATPase, found in parietal cells; (2) Na-K-2C1 cotransporter, found in both parietal and surface cells; and (3)Na/K ATPase, found in all gastric mucosal cells. Gastric mucosa from ileostomy animals was visibly hypertrophied compared to sham-operated animals. There was a 145% increase in the mRNA levels of the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter in gastric mucosa of the ileostomy group but no significant changes in H/K ATPase or Na/K ATPase mRNA levels. Construction of an ileostomy selectively enhances expression of the Na-K-C1 cotransporter in the gastric mucosa. Further studies are required to understand the neurohumoral stimuli underlying this selective response.

Abstract
Previous studies using isolated tissues suggest that the colonic H, K-ATPase (cHKA), expressed in the colon and kidney, plays an important role in K+ conservation. To test the role of this pump in K+ homeostasis in vivo, we generated a cHKA-deficient mouse and analyzed its ability to retain K+ when fed a control or K+-free diet. When maintained on a control diet, homozygous mutant (cHKA-/-) mice exhibited no deficit in K+ homeostasis compared to wild-type (cHKA+/+ greater, similar mice. Although fecal K+ excretion in cHKA-/- mice was double that of cHKA+/+ mice, fecal K+ losses were low compared with urinary K+ excretion, which was similar in both groups. When maintained on a K+-free diet for 18 d, urinary K+ excretion dropped over 100-fold, and to similar levels, in both cHKA-/- and cHKA+/+ mice; fecal K+ excretion was reduced in both groups, but losses were fourfold greater in cHKA-/- than in cHKA+/+ mice. Because of the excess loss of K+ in the colon, cHKA-/- mice exhibited lower plasma and muscle K+ than cHKA+/+ mice. In addition, cHKA-/- mice lost twice as much body weight as cHKA+/+ mice. These results demonstrate that, during K+ deprivation, cHKA plays a critical role in the maintenance of K+ homeostasis in vivo.

Abstract
The gastric H,K ATPase is an alpha beta heterodimeric member of the eukaryotic alkali-cation P-type ion-motive ATPase family. The alpha subunit is composed of 1033 amino acids and the beta subunit of 291 amino acids with 6 or 7 potential N-linked glycosylation sites. Much effort has been expended to define the membrane domain of P-type ATPases. A membrane domain of the large subunit consisting of 10 membrane-spanning sequences is suggested by a combination of methods such as (1) tryptic digestion, separation, and sequencing of membrane peptides, (2) labeling with extracytoplasmic reagents, and (3) in vitro translation of hydrophobic segments. The beta subunit has a single transmembrane segment with strong hydrophobic interactions with the alpha subunit. Blue native gel electrophoresis shows that the enzyme is an (alpha-beta)2 dimer. Cross-linking with Cu-phenanthroline provides evidence that association is between the alpha subunits, and the potential SH groups that are Cu sensitive are at cysteine 565 and cysteine 615, in the region of the large cytoplasmic loop between the fourth and fifth transmembrane segments. No cross-linking is observed in the membrane domain. ATP prevents cross-linking because of a conformational change at the surface of the protein induced by ATP or by direct binding of the nucleotide at the site of cross-linking. The WGA binding properties of the beta subunit allow investigation of the region of interaction with the alpha subunit. Thus, digestion of the enzyme by trypsin followed by SDS solubilization and selective elution from a WGA column resulted in coelution of the membrane fragment containing TM7 and TM8. This result demonstrates major hydrophobic interaction between the seventh and eighth transmembrane segments and the beta subunit. An antibody generated against rat parietal cells also recognized shared epitopes in the same region of both the alpha and beta subunits. Biochemical investigation of the arrangement of the transmembrane segments has been hindered by the lack of effective cross-linking reagents probably because of the compact arrangement of this domain, preventing even Cu access. A series of antiulcer drugs has been developed that have a unique chemistry related to their inhibition of the gastric H,K ATPase. They are 2-(substituted pyridyl methylsulfinyl) benzimidazoles, weak bases with a pKa of 4.0. After accumulation in the acidic space generated by the H,K ATPase either in vivo or in vitro, they undergo acid-catalyzed conversion to a tetracyclic sulfenamide which reacts with luminally accessible SH residues to form stable disulfide derivatives. In the particular case of pantoprazole, 2-(3,4-dimethoxy-2-pyridyl-methylsulfinyl)-5-difluoromethoxy benzimidazole, reaction is confined largely to cysteine 813, placed between the fifth and sixth transmembrane segments. The 5 azido analog of pantoprazole provided acid transport-dependent inhibition of the isolated transporting ATPase by this photoactivatable covalent SH reagent. The inhibited enzyme was then photolyzed, cleaved with trypsin, and the membrane fragments compared before and after photolysis. Disappearance of the segment corresponding to TM3,4 and a relative loss of the segment corresponding to TM7,8 suggests close proximity of these two membrane pairs to the loop joining the fifth and sixth transmembrane segments, in particular TM3,4. Use of this type of covalent, photoactivatable site-specific reagent to determine loop proximity can be extended to other acid transporters.

Abstract
The N-terminal fragment of ATP1AL1, the possible catalytic subunit of human ouabain-sensitive H+,K(+)-ATPase, was expressed in Escherichia coli cells as two recombinant proteins: the Ser14-Ile104 fragment or the same fragment containing His6 sequence at its N-end. The second protein was purified by metal-affinity chromatography and used as an antigen to construct two hybridoma lines producing antibodies of the IgM class. These monoclonal antibodies were shown to recognize not only the starting antigen but also the full-size recombinant ATP1AL1 protein and do not react with Na+,K(+)-ATPase.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate whether gastrin regulates morphological changes and alpha-subunit gene expression in parietal cells through the gastrin/CCK-B receptor on enterochromaffin-like cells by histamine release. Treatment with 100 mg/kg of YM022, a potent and selective gastrin/CCK-B receptor antagonist, for one week in rats did not alter mRNA levels of histidine decarboxylase or H+, K+-ATPase. However, parietal cell morphology predominantly changed to the resting form, although the serum gastrin concentration was significantly increased. Additional treatment with YM022 and oral omeprazole, 100 mg/kg, for one week markedly suppressed the increases of mRNA levels of histidine decarboxylase and H+, K+-ATPase and completely blocked the morphological transformation of the parietal cells to a stimulated form induced by treatment with omeprazole alone. This indicates that the morphological transformation of parietal cells to an activated form with a subsequent increase in H+, K+-ATPase synthesis caused by hypergastrinemia is mediated by increased histidine decarboxylase gene expression in enterochromaffin-like cells via gastrin/CCK-B receptors.

Abstract
Gastric acid secretion is mediated by the H/K-ATPase of parietal cells. Activation of acid secretion involves insertion of H/K-ATPase into the parietal cell plasmalemma, while its cessation is associated with reinternalization of the H/K-ATPase into an intracellular storage compartment. The cytoplasmic tail of the H/K-ATPase beta subunit includes a four residue sequence homologous to tyrosine-based endocytosis signals. We generated transgenic mice expressing H/K-ATPase beta subunit in which this motif's tyrosine residue is mutated to alanine. Gastric glands from animals expressing mutant beta subunit constitutively secrete acid and continuously express H/K-ATPase at their cell surfaces. Thus, the beta subunit's tyrosine-based signal is required for the internalization of H/K-ATPase and for the termination of acid secretion. As a consequence of chronic hyperacidity, the mice develop gastric ulcers and a hypertrophic gastropathy resembling Menetrier's disease.

Abstract
The role of N-linked glycosylation in the functional properties of gastric H+,K+-ATPase has been examined with tunicamycin and I-deoxymannojirimycin, inhibitors in glycoprotein biosynthesis and glycoprotein processing respectively. Tunicamycin completely abolished both K+-stimulated and 3-(cyanomethyl)-2-methyl-8-(phenylmethoxy)-imidazo[1,2a]pyridine (SCH 28080)-sensitive ATPase activity and SCH 28080-sensitive phosphorylation capacity. The expression level of both H+,K+-ATPase subunits remained unaffected. 1-Deoxymannojirimycin clearly affected the structure of the N-linked oligosaccharide moieties without affecting specific phosphorylation capacity. Purification of the functional recombinant enzyme from non-functional H+,K+-ATPase subunits coincided with purification of glycosylated beta-subunits and not of non-glycosylated beta-subunits. Transport of the H+,K+-ATPase beta-subunit to the plasma membrane but not its ability to assemble with the alpha-subunit dependent on N-glycosylation events. We conclude that the acquisition, but not the exact structure, of N-linked oligosaccharide moieties, is essential for biosynthesis of functional gastric H+,K+-ATPase in insect cells.

Abstract
The two subunits of the gastric H/K ATPase, namely the catalytic alpha-subunit and the glycoprotein beta-subunit, are the major targets of parietal cell autoantibodies associated with human and murine autoimmune gastritis. The murine disease induced by neonatal thymectomy is T cell-mediated. We have previously shown that transgenic expression of the H/K ATPase beta-subunit gene in the thymus prevented the development of autoimmune gastritis induced by thymectomy. However, little is known of the contribution of the H/K ATPase alpha-subunit in disease development. Here, we show that (1) in contrast to the gastric H/K ATPase beta-subunit, the alpha-subunit gene is expressed in normal BALB/c thymus. (2) transgenic expression of the gastric H/K ATPase alpha-subunit gene in the thymus failed to prevent the development of autoimmune gastritis and (3) normal BALB/c and transgenic mice expressing the alpha-subunit in the thymus develop autoimmune gastritis following immunisation with purified murine gastric H/K ATPase, whereas transgenic mice expressing the beta-subunit in the thymus do not. We propose that the expression of the H/K ATPase alpha-subunit in the normal thymus may account for the predominant role of the beta-subunit in the development of autoimmune gastritis induced either by thymectomy or by immunisation with the ATPase.

Abstract
A method of in vitro translation scanning was applied to a variety of polytopic integral membrane proteins, a transition metal P type ATPase from Helicobacter pylori, the SERCA 2 ATPase, the gastric H+,K+ ATPase, the CCK-A receptor and the human ileal bile acid transporter. This method used vectors containing the N terminal region of the gastric H+,K+ ATPase or the N terminal region of the CCK-A receptor, coupled via a linker region to the last 177 amino acids of the beta-subunit of the gastric H+,K+ ATPase. The latter contains 5 potential N-linked glycosylation sites. Translation of vectors containing the cDNA encoding one, two or more putative transmembrane domains in the absence or presence of microsomes allowed determination of signal anchor or stop transfer properties of the putative transmembrane domains by the molecular weight shift on SDS PAGE. The P type ATPase from Helicobacter pylori showed the presence of 8 transmembrane segments with this method. The SERCA 2 Ca2+ ATPase with this method had 9 transmembrane co-translational insertion domains and coupled with other evidence these data resulted in a 11 transmembrane segment model. Translation of segments of the gastric H+,K+ ATPase provided evidence for only 7 transmembrane segments but coupled with other data established a 10 membrane segment model. The G7 protein, the CCK-A receptor showed the presence of 6 of the 7 transmembrane segments postulated for this protein. Translation of segments of the human ileal bile acid transporter showed the presence of 8 membrane insertion domains. However, translation of the intact protein provided evidence for an odd number of transmembrane segments, resulting in a tentative model containing 7 or 9 transmembrane segments. Neither G7 type protein appeared to have an arrangement of sequential topogenic signals consistent with the final assembled protein. This method provides a useful addition to methods of determining membrane domains of integral membrane proteins but must in general be utilized with other methods to establish the number of transmembrane alpha-helices.

Abstract
Many peptide hormone and neurotransmitter receptors belonging to the seven membrane-spanning G protein-coupled receptor family have been shown to transmit ligand-dependent mitogenic signals in vitro. However, the physiological roles of the mitogenic activity through G protein-coupled receptors in vivo remain to be elucidated. Here we have generated G protein-coupled cholecystokinin (CCK)-B/gastrin receptor deficient-mice by gene targeting. The homozygous mice showed a remarkable atrophy of the gastric mucosa macroscopically, even in the presence of severe hypergastrinemia. The atrophy was due to a decrease in parietal cells and chromogranin A-positive enterochromaffin-like cells expressing the H+,K(+)-ATPase and histidine decarboxylase genes, respectively. Oral administration of a proton pump inhibitor, omeprazole, which induced hypertrophy of the gastric mucosa with hypergastrinemia in wild-type littermates, did not eliminate the gastric atrophy of the homozygotes. These results clearly demonstrated that the G protein-coupled CCK-B/gastrin receptor is essential for the physiological as well as pathological proliferation of gastric mucosal cells in vivo.

Abstract
The rat nephron displays two ouabain-sensitive K-ATPases: one, which is present in proximal tubules and thick ascending limbs of normal rats, is specifically activated by K+ and is down-regulated by K+ depletion, whereas the other one appears in collecting ducts of K+-depleted rats and is activated by either Na+ or K+. To determine which of these two ATPases is similar to colonic-type H,K-ATPase, we quantitated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) the mRNAs encoding the colonic H,K-ATPase alpha subunit in microdissected nephron segments. In normal rats, statistically significant amounts of colonic H,K-ATPase mRNAs were detected exclusively in cortical thick ascending limbs and cortical collecting ducts (200-500 copies/mm). Because these levels of expression were low (1-1.2 copies/target cell), they probably have no physiological relevance. In rats fed a K+-depleted diet for 2 weeks, expression of colonic H,K-ATPase was markedly enhanced in cortical and medullary collecting ducts (5000-12,000 copies/mm or 30-40 copies per cell), whereas it remained low in all other nephron segments. Thus, colonic H,K-ATPase alpha subunit is specifically expressed in cortical and outer medullary collecting ducts of K+-depleted rats where it likely accounts for the ouabain-sensitive K-ATPase activity.

Abstract
The functional properties and the pharmacological profile of the recently cloned cDNA colonic P-ATPase alpha subunit (Crowson, M.S., and Shull, G.E. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 13740-13748) were investigated by using the Xenopus oocyte expression system. Xenopus oocytes were injected with alpha subunit cRNAs from Bufo marinus bladder or rat distal colon and/or with beta subunit cRNA from B. marinus bladder. Two days after injection, K+ uptake was measured by using 86 Rb+ as a K+ surrogate, and pH measurements were performed by means of ion-selective microelectrodes. Co-injection of alpha and beta subunit cRNAs led to a large increase in 86Rb+ uptake, an intracellular alkalinization, and an extracellular medium acidification, as compared to alpha or beta injection alone. These results indicate that the colonic P-ATPase alpha subunit, like the bladder alpha subunit, acts as a functional H+,K+-ATPase, and that co-expression of alpha and beta subunits is required for the function. External K+ activation of the 86Rb+ uptake had a K1/2 of approximately 440 microM for the bladder isoform (consistent with the previously reported value (Jaisser, F., Horisberger, J.D., Geering, K., and Rossier, B.C. (1993) J. Cell. Biol. 123, 1421-1431) and a K1/2 of approximately 730 microM for the colonic isoform. Sch28080 was ineffective to reduce 86Rb+ uptake whereas ouabain inhibited the activity expressed from rat colon alpha subunit with a Ki of 970 microM when measured at the Vmax of the enzyme. We conclude that, when expressed in Xenopus oocytes, the rat colon P-ATPase alpha subunit encodes a ouabain-sensitive H+,K+-ATPase.

Abstract
The self-renewing epithelial populations present in the gastric units of the mouse stomach are descended from a multipotent stem cell and undergo an orderly migration-associated differentiation followed by apoptosis. The steady state census of the three principal cell types (acid-producing parietal cells, mucus-producing pit cells, and pepsinogen and intrinsic factor-producing zymogenic cells) is accurately controlled, despite marked differences in the rates of migration of each lineage. A transgenic mouse model has been created to define functional interrelationships between the proliferation, differentiation, and death programs of these lineages. Nucleotides -1035 to +24 of the noncatalytic beta subunit gene of mouse H+/K+-ATPase were used to direct expression of an attenuated diphtheria toxin A subunit in the parietal cell lineage. These transcriptional regulatory elements are not active in members of the pit and zymogenic lineages. Stomachs, prepared from postnatal day 28-80 transgenic mice and their normal littermates, were subjected to single- and multilabel immunohistochemical studies as well as qualitative and quantitative light and electron microscopic morphologic analyses. The toxin produced complete ablation of differentiated parietal cells. Loss of parietal cells was accompanied by a 5-fold increase in the number of undifferentiated granule-free cells located in the proliferative compartment of gastric units. This amplified population of granule-free cells included the multipotent stem cell as well as committed precursors of the pit and zymogenic lineages. Loss of mature parietal cells was also associated with (i) a block in the differentiation program of the zymogenic lineage with an accumulation of pre-neck cells and a depletion of their neck and mature zymogenic cell descendants, and (ii) an approximately 2-fold amplification of pit cells. These findings are consistent with the notion that epithelial homeostasis within gastric units is maintained by instructive interactions between their different cell lineages. Unlike pit and zymogenic cells, parietal cells complete their differentiation in the gastric unit's proliferative compartment before undergoing a bipolar migration along the unit. Thus, the mature parietal cell is in a strategic position to influence decision-making among gastric epithelial cell precursors and to modulate the migration-associated terminal differentiation programs of the pit and zymogenic lineages.

Abstract
Human type A chronic gastritis or autoimmune gastritis (AIG) is associated with gastric H,K-ATPase-specific autoantibodies (HKAb). The pathogenic role of the HKAb and the triggering autoantigen(s) are unknown. In a mouse model, neonatal thymectomy (nTx) induces AIG, which is likely T cell mediated, although HKAb are always present. Our aim is to study the role of the H,K-ATPase in the initiation of AIG. The direct involvement of the H,K-ATPase in the onset of AIG is suggested by the following findings. AIG appears at the age of 1 month in susceptible BALB.D2 mice, i.e. the time at which H,K-ATPase expression reaches adult levels. A new HKAb assay system based on immunoprecipitation of native H,K-ATPase expressed in Xenopus oocytes has revealed that the early lesion is already associated with low titers of HKAb. Injection of gastric membranes, rich in H,K-ATPase, into neonatal BALB.D2 mice without adjuvant induces a persisting AIG. This new model for AIG will provide the means to identify which H,K-ATPase subunit triggers AIG.

Abstract
We examined the effects of gastrin and histamine on rat gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase, the enzyme responsible for H+ secretion, gene expression in vivo. Gastrin 17 (G 17) or histamine dihydrochloride (histamine) was continuously infused through the femoral vein of anesthetized rats. Gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase mRNA levels were measured using northern blot analysis. Infusion of G 17 and histamine increased the H+/K(+)-ATPase mRNA level significantly compared with basal control level or vehicle control level (P < 0.01). However, pretreatment with famotidine, a potent histamine-2 (H2)-receptor antagonist, inhibited the increase of rat gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase mRNA following G 17 and histamine infusion. These findings indicate that both histamine and G 17 increase expression of H+/K(+)-ATPase mRNA by activating H2 receptor on the parietal cell.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) acutely inhibits acid secretion; however, prolonged administration of EGF has been reported to increase acid production. We undertook these studies to examine whether the physiological effects of EGF on acid secretion are mediated by regulation of gastric H+,K+-ATPase, the principle enzyme responsible for acid secretion. EGF in concentrations equivalent to those in plasma increased H+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit mRNA levels. Using H+,K(+)-ATPase-luciferase constructs transfected into primary cultured parietal cells, a significant step up in EGF inducibility was observed between bases -162 and -156 (5'-GACATGG-3') relative to the cap site. This EGF response element (ERE) conferred EGF inducibility when linked to homologous and heterologous promoters. The ERE is homologous to the 3' half-site of the c-fos serum response element to which rNFIL-6, rE12, and SRE-ZBP bind. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays using an ERE probe and parietal cell nuclear extracts revealed a specific DNA-protein complex, the formation of which was changed by neither E12 and NFIL-6 consensus oligonucleotides nor antibodies for NFIL-6, SRE-ZBP, and E12. Our studies indicate that EGF induces gastric H+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit gene expression via an interaction between a specific ERE and a novel transcriptional factor and that this may be a physiologic mechanism by which EGF regulates acid secretion.

Abstract
The processes regulating the development of the fetal gastrointestinal tract are largely unknown, but are likely dependent, in part, on peptide growth factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the contribution of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) to the development of the fetal gastric epithelium, with particular reference to the parietal cell. Fifty-six fetal rabbits from 18 time-mated pregnant New Zealand White rabbit does were divided into four groups at Day 23 of gestation (term is 31 days): (1) unoperated control littermates, (2) those prevented from swallowing amniotic fluid by esophageal ligation (EL), (3) those with EL plus intragastric carrier infusion, and (4) those with EL plus intragastric HGF infusion. At Day 28 of gestation, fetal stomachs were harvested and analyzed for gastric weight, DNA content, and H+/K(+)-ATPase expression. In control fetuses, gastric weight was 470 +/- 30 mg, gastric DNA content was 741 +/- 59 micrograms, and gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase expression was 25.4 +/- 2.7 micrograms. EL resulted in a 45% decrease in gastric weight (P = 0.001), a 34% decrease in DNA content (P = 0.04), and a 43% decrease in H+/K(+)-ATPase expression (P = 0.007). These inhibitory effects were not reversed by intragastric carrier infusion. Although intragastric HGF infusion did not significantly restore gastric weight or gastric DNA content, it restored gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase expression to levels no different from those of unoperated controls (23.9 +/- 2.8 micrograms), but significantly greater than those of the EL or carrier infusion groups (P = 0.01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The baculovirus expression system is suitable for functional expression of gastric H+,K(+)-ATPase. Expression of functional H+,K(+)-ATPase in Sf9 cells is accompanied by synthesis of large amounts of non-functional subunits. When H+,K(+)-ATPase is synthesised in the presence of 150-250 mM ethanol in the culture medium, two to threefold higher levels of functional H+,K(+)-ATPase are produced due to the formation of more functional subunits rather than to an increase of subunits per se. The catalytical properties of the ethanol-produced H+,K(+)-ATPase are indistinguishable from control preparations. The mechanism by which ethanol stimulates the formation of functional H+,K(+)-ATPase probably involves a direct effect on the physical properties of Sf9 membranes. In addition there also might be an indirect effect through ethanol inducible stress proteins acting as molecular chaperones.

Abstract
Biologically active amidated gastrin is synthesized by carboxyl-terminal alpha-amidation of a glycine-extended progastrin post-translational processing intermediate (G-Gly). Although plasma levels of G-Gly are equivalent to those of gastrin, G-Gly has essentially no acute effect on gastric acid secretion. However, we have observed that inhibition of gastrin amidation leads to increased plasma concentrations of G-Gly and enhanced gastric acid secretion. We hypothesized, therefore, that G-Gly might have a chronic effect to increase H+,K(+)-ATPase expression in gastric parietal cells. In the present studies, we observed that a 2-day preincubation with G-Gly significantly enhanced histamine-stimulated [14C]aminopyrine uptake by isolated canine gastric parietal cells but acutely administered G-Gly had no effect. On Northern blot analysis, both G-Gly and gastrin dose-dependently increased H+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit gene expression with maximal induction (225 +/- 35 and 170 +/- 29% of basal, mean +/- S.E.) achieved at concentrations of 10(-9) M G-Gly and 10(-8) M gastrin, respectively. Using an H+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit gene-luciferase chimeric reporter construct transfected into primary cultured parietal cells, we observed that both G-Gly and gastrin increased luciferase activity in a manner similar to that obtained by Northern blot analysis. L365,260, a specific gastrin/CCKB receptor antagonist, completely reversed the stimulation of luciferase activity induced by gastrin but had no effect on G-Gly-stimulated activity. Gastrin increased [Ca2+]i, although G-Gly did not, however, genistein (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor) significantly reduced induction of luciferase activity by both G-Gly and gastrin. Specific binding of 125I-Leu15-G2-17-Gly to gastric parietal cells was dose-dependently displaced by G2-17-Gly but not by gastrin nor L365,260. Gastrin peptides truncated at the carboxyl- (G1-13) and amino terminus (G5-17-Gly) both induced H+,K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit gene expression and inhibited 125I-Leu15-G2-17-Gly binding, but were less potent than G2-17-Gly. These data indicate that G-Gly may have a functional role in potentiating gastric acid secretagogue action via enhanced expression of the gene responsible for H+ generation through action at a novel receptor that can be distinguished from the gastrin/CCKB receptor. Thus, both the substrate and product of the terminal progastrin processing reaction appear to have complementary functions in regulation of gastric acid secretion.

Abstract
The distribution of transcripts encoding the gastric H(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) alpha-subunit in the normal rat kidney was studied by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), combined with DNA sequence analysis and renal microdissection, and by nonradioactive in situ hybridization of fixed kidney sections using highly specific molecular probes. RT-PCR products corresponding to the gastric H(+)-K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit were detected in the cortex, outer and inner medulla, and in isolated cortical (CCD) and inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCD). With digoxigenin-labeled cRNAs derived from the 5' and 3' ends of the gastric H(+)-K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit cDNA, specific hybridization signal was detected prominently in all the cells of the connecting segment and CCD, the intercalated cells of the outer medullary collecting duct, the IMCD, and the renal pelvic epithelium lining the secondary pouches. Weak labeling was noted in the S3 segment of the proximal tubule, the distal convoluted tubule, and the cortical thick ascending limb of Henle. Hybridization with the sense probes produced no cellular labeling. These data provide the first direct demonstration for the expression and cellular distribution of mRNA encoding the gastric H(+)-K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit in the normal, potassium-replete kidney, and they provide essential tools for the molecular analysis of renal acid base and potassium transport under physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sera from patients with atrophic corpus gastritis with pernicious anemia frequently contain parietal cell autoantibodies. We have previously demonstrated that the human H,K-adenosine triphosphatase (H,K-ATPase) alpha-subunit constitutes a major autoantigen. The present study investigates whether the human H,K-ATPase beta-subunit is an autoantigen, too, METHODS The gene of the human beta-subunit was expressed in insect cells by a baculovirus expression system. The reactivity of sera from 42 patients towards the recombinant glycoprotein was analyzed by means of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Thirty-nine of the 42 sera (93%) scored positive. Autoantibody binding in 41 sera (98%) was eliminated when unglycosylated beta-subunit was used as antigen, and antibody binding in the last serum was decreased by 30%. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that the beta-subunit is indeed a major autoantigen and that carbohydrates are involved in binding of the autoantibodies.

Abstract
cDNA encoding an epitope tag was joined to cDNAs encoding the chicken Na,K-ATPase beta 1 and beta 2 and H,K-ATPase beta-subunits to allow recognition of these beta-subunits with the same monoclonal antibody during assembly assays. cDNAs encoding chicken Na,K-ATPase alpha 1, alpha 2, or alpha 3 and Na,K-ATPase beta 1 or beta 2 or H,K-ATPase beta-subunits were transiently coexpressed in mammalian cells. Subunit assembly was assayed by immune precipitation of alpha-isoforms with a monoclonal antibody to the epitope-tagged beta-subunits. Each of the chicken alpha-isoforms assembled with each of the Na,K-ATPase beta-subunits and the H,K-ATPase beta-subunit. Each of the epitope-tagged beta-subunits also assembled with a Na,K-ATPase/Ca-ATPase chimera that retained only 26 amino acids of the Na,K-ATPase alpha-subunit, demonstrating that all three beta-subunits recognize this same alpha-subunit assembly site.

Abstract
The membrane topology of the alpha subunit of the H+,K(+)-ATPase was investigated by using in vitro transcription/translation of DNA sequences encoding fusion proteins that contained possible membrane-spanning segments. The vectors consisted of DNA sequences encoding (a) either the first 101 (M0 vectors) or the first 139 (M1 vectors) amino acids of the N-terminal region of the alpha subunit of the ATPase, (b) a variable region, and then (c) the C-terminal 177 amino acids of the C-terminal region of the beta subunit, with five N-linked glycosylation sites. The variable region of the fusion protein contained the cDNA sequences representing the possible eight or 10 membrane-spanning segments either alone or in various combinations. Transcription/translation was performed in the presence of [35S]methionine using a coupled reticulocyte lysate in the absence and presence of microsomes. The fusion protein was identified by autoradiography following separation using SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Glycosylation of a translated sequence corresponded to membrane insertion and translocation of the C-terminal beta sequence. This method allowed analysis of signal anchor sequences using the M0 vector. The presence of a stop transfer sequence in the variable segment of the M1 vector resulted in inhibition of translocation of the C-terminal beta sequence. The sequences for the first four membrane segments could act as either signal anchor or stop transfer sequences. Therefore, this region of the alpha subunit has four membrane-spanning segments that are co-inserted with translation. The sequence corresponding to membrane segment M8 acted as a stop transfer sequence. The sequence corresponding to membrane segment M9 acted as a signal anchor sequence, and that corresponding to membrane segment M10 acted as a stop transfer sequence. The sequences representing the fifth, sixth, and seventh (M5, M6, and M7) membrane segments were unable to co-insert into the membrane. These data verify the first four and the eight membrane-spanning segments of the alpha subunit of the gastric H+,K(+)-ATPase and provide evidence for translational insertion of an additional pair of membrane-spanning segments, M9 and M10. It appears that insertion of membrane segments M5, M6, and M7 is determined differently from the other membrane-spanning segments. In combination with other methods, this in vitro transcription/translation method is useful for defining the membrane topology of the P type ATPases.

Abstract
The ubiquitous Na,K- and the gastric H,K-pumps are heterodimeric plasma membrane proteins composed of an alpha and a beta subunit. The H,K-ATPase beta subunit (beta HK) can partially act as a surrogate for the Na,K-ATPase beta subunit (beta NK) in the formation of functional Na,K-pumps (Horisberger et al., 1991. J. Biol. Chem. 257:10338-10343). We have examined the role of the transmembrane and/or the ectodomain of beta NK in (a) its ER retention in the absence of concomitant synthesis of Na,K-ATPase alpha subunits (alpha NK) and (b) the functional expression of Na,K-pumps at the cell surface and their activation by external K+. We have constructed chimeric proteins between Xenopus beta NK and rabbit beta HK by exchanging their NH2-terminal plus transmembrane domain with their COOH-terminal ectodomain (beta NK/HK, beta HK/NK). We have expressed these constructs with or without coexpression of alpha NK in the Xenopus oocyte. In the absence of alpha NK, Xenopus beta NK and all chimera that contained the ectodomain of beta NK were retained in the ER while beta HK and all chimera with the ectodomain of beta HK could leave the ER suggesting that ER retention of unassembled Xenopus beta NK is mediated by a retention signal in the ectodomain. When coexpressed with alpha NK, only beta NK and beta NK/HK chimera assembled efficiently with alpha NK leading to similar high expression of functional Na,K-pumps at the cell surface that exhibited, however, a different apparent K+ affinity. beta HK or chimera with the transmembrane domain of beta HK assembled less efficiently with alpha NK leading to lower expression of functional Na,K-pumps with a different apparent K+ affinity. The data indicate that the transmembrane domain of beta NK is important for efficient assembly with alpha NK and that both the transmembrane and the ectodomain of beta subunits play a role in modulating the transport activity of Na,K-pumps.
