Abstract

Our objective was to evaluate the role of heme-oxygenase 1 (HO-1)/biliverdin/CO pathway in gastric defense against ethanol-induced gastric damage in mice. Mice were pre-treated with saline, hemin (HO-1 inducer), biliverdin (HO-1 product), dimanganese decacarbonyl (DMDC, CO donor) or zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPP IX, HO-1 antagonist). Another group received soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) inhibitor (ODQ) 30 min before hemin, biliverdin or DMDC. After 30 min, gastric damage was induced by ethanol. After one hour, rats were sacrificed. Gastric lesions were measured using a computer planimetry program, and gastric corpus pieces were assayed for malonylaldehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH) or bilirubin. HO-1 expression was determined after saline or ethanol administration by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or immunohistochemistry. Ethanol (25% or 50%) induced gastric damage, increased MDA levels and reduced GSH in the gastric tissue. Ethanol 50% increased HO-1 mRNA transcripts, HO-1 immunoreactivity, and bilirubin concentration in gastric mucosa. Pre-treatment with hemin reduced gastric damage and MDA formation and increased GSH concentration in the gastric mucosa. ZnPP IX amplified the ethanol-induced gastric lesion, increased MDA forma...Continue Reading

Atrophic Gastritis

Atrophic Gastritis is a process where gastric glandular cells are lost and replaced with firbous tissues, as a result of chronic inflammation. Learn more about Atrophic Gastritis here.
