Background: Acetylsalicylic acid is in common clinical use but has the side effect of causing gastric mucosal erosions and selective injury to parietal cells. Aim: To explore if prior treatment with Prunus dulcis (almond) had a protective effect against acetylsalicylic acid induced injury. Study design: Experimental study. Methodology: Albino mice weighing 30 to 40 grams were given two drops of almond oil without peel and 300 mg of finely ground whole almond kernel by oral gavage for sixty days followed by 400 mg/kg body weight of acetylsalicylic acid orally. Gastric mucosal damage was observed and recorded as ulcer index. The number of parietal cells/ sq. micrometer and area of parietal cells were observed and recorded under microscope in formalin fixed H and E stained sections. Data analyzed by SPSS 22.0v. Results: Mucosal damage, distortion of gastric glands and damage to parietal cells was pronounced in the positive control animals. The number of surviving parietal cells after acetylsalicylic acid insult in animals given almond oil was significantly higher when compared with positive control animals (p<0.001) and even better in animals receiving whole ground almond kernel. The area of parietal cells was also similarly larger in the treated animals. Conclusion: This study concluded Prunus dulcis offers protection against acute gastric mucosal injury and damage to the gastric parietal cells caused by acetylsalicylic acid in mice.

Qi-Ge decoction (QGD), which is derived from the Huangqi Gegen decoction, contains three traditional Chinese herbs: Astragalus membranaceus (Huangqi), Pueraria lobata (Gegen), and Citri Reticulatae Blanco Pericarpium (Chenpi). Gastric mucosal damage caused by ethanol was prevented and alleviated by QGD. However, the role of QGD in protecting the liver from toxins has not been reported. High-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection was used to qualitatively analyze QGD. Positive control (silymarin 100 mg/kg/day), QGD (20, 10, or 5 g/kg/day), and Nrf2 inhibitor brusatol (0.4 mg/kg/2 d) were administered to rats for 7 days, and then, liver injury was induced by injecting 2 mL/kg 25% CCl4. After 24 h, blood and liver were collected for analysis and evaluation. QGD was found to contain 12 main components including calycosin, puerarin, and hesperidin. QGD treatment significantly reduced liver damage and decreased serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase activities. QGD increased superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, and glutathione levels, but decreased malondialdehyde levels in livers from CCl4-treated rats. Compared to rats treated with CCl4 alone, after QGD administration, mRNA and protein levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 were increased, while those of Kelch-like ECH-related protein 1 (Keap1) and cytochrome P450 (CYP)2E1 were decreased. However, these improvements in QGD were reversed by brusatol. In conclusion, QGD can achieve its hepatoprotective effect through an antioxidant mechanism by activating the Nrf2 pathway.

The effects of osmotically induced changes in cell volume on cytoplasmic free Ca (Cai) were studied in parietal cells from intact rabbit gastric glands using digital image processing of fura-2 fluorescence. In resting unstimulated cells, Cai was unaffected by either cell swelling or shrinking when osmolarity was varied between 200 and 400 mosM (isotonicity 290 mosM). However, when cells were swelled in a 165 mosM solution (55% tonicity), a biphasic Ca increased was observed. On average, Cai increased transiently from 80 to 218 nM before stabilizing at approximately 140 nM. The peak was due to release from intracellular pools because it was present in Ca-free solutions while the sustained elevation was dependent on external Ca. In carbachol-stimulated cells, Ca influx was most sensitive to cell shrinkage. For example, addition of 25 mM sucrose (108% tonicity) caused a 30% decrease in the sustained carbachol-stimulated Cai increase (plateau). In contrast, carbachol-stimulated cells were relatively insensitive to cell swelling, with a 30% decrease in tonicity causing only a 15% increase in the plateau. However, as in the unstimulated cells, extreme (55% tonicity) swelling caused additional increases in Cai levels. The carbachol-dependent effects of changes in cell volume on Cai could be mimicked by treating cells with thapsigargin, an inhibitor of Ca pumps of intracellular membranes that also has been shown to stimulate Ca entry. Thus, although extreme swelling conditions (55% tonicity) could elicit Cai increases in either the presence or absence of agonist, agonist was required to observe Cai decreases due to cell shrinkage.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

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

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