Ultra-structural study of the indomethacin-induced apoptosis and autophagy in rat gastric parietal cells.

Ultrastructural Pathology

Abstract

Indomethacin (IND), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, can induce gastric mucosal ulcerations. To date, the ultra-structural changes in the parietal cells (PCs) of the gastric mucosa following the intake of IND are mostly unknown. We carried out the current investigation to get insights into this issue. We established an animal model consisting of 35 adult male Sprague Dawley rats. The animals were divided into three groups, including; control (normal feeding), fasting, and indomethacin-treated groups. After treatment of 18-h fasting rats with IND, they were sacrificed at 3, 6, and 12-h intervals. The morphological features, including the apoptotic, and autophagic changes in the gastric mucosa PCs were examined using transmission electron microscopy. In normal feeding animals (control group), the gastric PCs were present in various stages of activity. Fasting was associated with the predominance of the inactive parietal cells with features of up-regulated autophagy. In the IND -treated animals (at 3-h interval), PCs showed prominent autophagic changes, and subtle apoptotic cell death. In the IND -treated animals (at 6-12-h interval), PCs showed prominent apoptotic changes, and subtle autophagic features. Our study indicate...Continue Reading

Autophagosome

An autophagosome is the formation of double-membrane vesicles that involve numerous proteins and cytoplasmic components. These double-membrane vesicles are then terminated at the lysosome where they are degraded. Discover the latest research on autophagosomes here.

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
