The gastric autoantigens. The two autoantigens targeted by autoantibodies are components unique to the gastric parietal cell in the. Figure 1 The gastric parietal cell antibody detected by immunofluorescence and illustrated here on murine gastric mucosa reacts with the cytoplasm of gastric parietal cells. Characteristic of the Immunofluorescence reaction is the denser staining of the newly formed cells at the base of the mucosa (bottom left) and lighter staining of the mature cells towards the top of the mucosa. Experimental evidence suggests that the autoantigen in the parietal cell is the enzyme H+,K*-ATPase which is involved in production of acid secreted into the gastric juice.. body of the stomach. The autoantigen with which GPCA reacts is the enzyme H+,K+-adenosine triphosphatase (H+,K+-ATPase) which is cell-specific but not species-specific, indicating the importance of the physiologic role of the molecule in the gastric parietal cell. The second autoantigen is a secreted product of the ...

John McLaren-Howard has again come up with a brilliant suggestion for a simple test to diagnose hypochlorhydria. The idea here is that it is very difficult for the stomach to produce stomach acid. The normal acidity of blood is about pH7, but the acidity of stomach acid can be as low as pH 2 or below. That means that hydrogen ions (which create acidity) are a 100,000 times more concentrated in the stomach than in the bloodstream. So the stomach wall has a very difficult job to do. The gastric parietal cells need quite a bit of energy from ATP to pump hydrogen ions from the inside of the parietal cell into the lumen of the stomach. The difficult bit is stopping these hydrogen ions leaking back again. This is achieved because the gastric parietal cells forming a protective barrier between each other at the cell membrane tight junction to stop hydrogen ions leaking back. Because this is extremely hard work and the body does not want to waste energy, the main regulator for the cell membrane tight ...

Sonic Hedgehog and Gastric Cancer. Studies from my lab focus on the role of bacterial colonization and the development of type B chronic atrophic gastritis in a mouse model. Chronic atrophic gastritis is a precursor lesion in the development of intestinal metaplasia and gastric cancer. We found that the gastrin-deficient mice, which are hypochlorhydric, develop antral gastric tumors within 9 -12 months of age. The tumors appear to be dependent on the microflora. Gastric atrophy exemplified by loss of the acid-secreting parietal cell precedes tumor development as observed in human subjects. We found that Helicobacter infection coincides with acute secretion of Shh from the parietal cells then eventually reduced Shh expression prior to parietal cell atrophy. Apparently pro-inflammatory cytokines, e.g., IL-1b, are sufficient to suppress parietal cell acid secretion and Shh gene expression (Waghray, M et al, Gastroenterology 2010). We showed that gastric acid stimulates Shh gene expression through ...

Bullfrog tadpole stomachs of various metamorphic stages were examined to determine the fine-structural development of oxyntic cells and to correlate observed morphological development with the capacity to secrete HCl. It was found that in vitro tadpole stomachs can consistently be stimulated to secrete acid by stage XXIV of metamorphosis, when tail reabsorption is nearly complete. Concomitant with the appearance of HCl secretion, identifiable oxyntic cells were found in the gastric glands.. Prior to stage XXIV (stages XXI and XXII) the majority of cells present in the developing gastric glands exhibit features of cytological organization characteristic of undifferentiated cells: large nuclei, relatively scantry cytoplasm, and numerous ribosomal particles within the cytoplasmic matrix. The newly differentiated oxyntic cells of stage XXIV tadpole stomachs are recognizable by the accumulation of tubular members of the smooth-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum in the apical portion of the cells. These ...

Aquaporins facilitate osmotically driven water movement across cell membranes. Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) is a major water channel in the central nervous system where it participates in cerebral water balance. AQP4 is also present in basolateral membranes of lower respiratory tract airway and renal collecting duct epithelial cells, gastric parietal cells and skeletal muscle cells. However, the distribution of AQP4 in many other tissues is still unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the expression and relative abundance of AQP4 in human Tissue MicroArrays (TMAs) and human protein microarrays by immunohistochemistry and chemiluminescence. In the central nervous system AQP4 was abundantly expressed in the cerebral cortex, cerebellar cortex (purkinje/granular layer), ependymal cell layer, hippocampus and spinal cord. Lower levels were detected in choroid plexus, white matter and meninges. In the musculoskeletal system AQP4 was highly expressed in the sarcolemma of skeletal muscle from the chest ...

The mechanisms regulating the proliferation and differentiation processes that give rise to and maintain the gastric epithelium have not yet been completely elucidated.. In the present studies, in vitro models were established and the influence of growth factors and extracellular matrix proteins on these processes were investigated. Pentagastrin and hydrocortisone were found to accelerate the development of H,KTPase-positive parietal cells and other epithelial cells from undifferentiated gastric epithelial cells of foetal rats. These undifferentiated cells and also presumably immature epithelial cells in the progenitor zone of adult gastric glands were shown to express cholecystokinin-2 (CCK2) receptors and are therefore targets for the trophic action of gastrin.. H,K-ATPase-positive parietal cells in the progenitor zone of adult glands were also found to express CCK2 receptors, indicating that gastrin may stimulate maturation of the parietal cell lineage even during adult life.

Pernicious anaemia is a result of your bodys immune system attacking the cells within the stomach that produce a protein vital for the absorption of vitamin B12.. Meat, fish and dairy products all naturally contain Vitamin B12, which is normally absorbed into the body through the stomach. For this process to occur, gastric parietal cells in the stomach release a protein called intrinsic factor.. People who have pernicious anaemia unfortunately produce antibodies which attack these gastric parietal cells. As a result, the amount of intrinsic factor. Due to this deficiency the body is anaemic because it cannot produce red blood cells that are fully functional and therefore do not carry enough oxygen.. As vitamin B12 is crucial for many biochemical reactions, such as protecting your nerve cells through myelin production, converting fat into energy, and supporting red blood cell production, the results of pernicious anemia can be debilitating.. As mentioned above, eating meat and dairy products ...

Gastrointestinal malignancies are strongly linked to chronic inflammation (25-29). Gastric tumorigenesis in K19-Wnt1/C2mE mice was also recently shown to be suppressed by knockout of either TNFα or its receptor TNFR1, suggesting that TNFα-dependent inflammation plays a key role in the development of gastric cancer (30). Furthermore, the development of SPEM in response to acute parietal cell loss is dependent on the recruitment of macrophages to the gastric epithelium (31). Together, these findings suggest that inflammation triggers the histopathologic alterations of gastric epithelium that leads to tumor development. We have now shown that the inflammation-associated ROS plays a key role in the parietal cell loss that is an early and critical step in the development of SPEM, and the subsequent formation of gastric tumors. The accumulation of ROS triggers the p38MAPK-p16INK4a/p19ARF signaling pathway selectively in parietal cells and the consequent induction of parietal cell loss. In fact, ...

Definition. This is megaloblastic anemia due to deficiency of vitamin B12, because of malabsorption, which is believed as an autoimmune phenomenon to gastric parietal cells and their products.

Digestive system disease is one of the most frequently occurring diseases. According to statistics from WHO, there are at least 250 million people worldwide suffering from digestive system diseases, especially canker. Inhibition of gastric acid secretion is the key treatment method for peptic ulcer, duodenal ulcer and gastroesophageal reflux disease. The H+ / K+ ATPase in gastric parietal cells can reduce gastric acid secretion. By inhibiting the functioning of this transporter, the drug prevents formation of gastric acid.

GLP-1R is expressed in the small intestine and colon (23,27); however, previous efforts to identify cellular sites of GLP-1R expression within the gut yielded conflicting results. Using a GLP-1R antibody and immunohistochemistry, Kedees et al. (28) reported GLP-1R expression in the intestinal mucosa, enteric nervous system, and Paneth cells, whereas studies using the GLP-1R promoter to direct expression of a fluorescent reporter protein localized intestinal GLP-1R expression to enteric neurons (23). GLP-1Rs have also been localized to gastric parietal cells in rats (29) and in the Brunners gland of the duodenum, parietal cells and smooth muscle cells in the gastric muscularis externa, and myenteric plexus neurons throughout the primate small and large bowel (30). Given the lack of specificity of the majority of commercially available GLP-1R antibodies and existing discrepancies in studies reporting sites of intestinal GLP-1R expression, we initiated studies to localize the sites of endogenous ...

In the mammalian gastrointestinal tract, the cell fate decisions that specify the development of multiple, diverse lineages are governed in large part by interactions of stem and early lineage progenitor cells with their microenvironment, or niche.

Cobalamin is a complex organic molecule containing a tetrapyrole corrin ring that is similar in structure to heme but that has a divalent cobalt atom in its center instead of an iron atom. Like heme iron, this cobalt atom binds to two ligands. One is a benzimidazole nucleotide, whereas the other can be either a methyl group (found in methylcobalamin) or an adenosyl group (found in adenosylcobalamin). Cobalamin is present in all foods of animal origin including meat, fish, and dairy products. Food cobalamin is tightly bound to proteins. Following ingestion, some cobalamin in food is transferred to human haptocorrin in saliva. As depicted in Figure 6-1, the low pH of the gastric juice facilitates efficient release and transfer of the remaining food cobalamin to haptocorrin. After transit to the duodenum, the increase in pH enables the transfer of cobalamin from haptocorrin to intrinsic factor, a transport protein secreted by gastric parietal cells. The cobalamin-intrinsic factor complex resists ...

Oxyntic cells that retain distinct morphological polarity between apical and basolateral membranes were isolated from the gastric mucosa of the amphibian Necturus. Patch-clamp techniques were applied to these cells to identify apical membrane ion channels associated with hydrochloric acid secretion. A single class of voltage-dependent, inwardly rectifying chloride channels was observed in the apical membranes of both resting and stimulated (acid-secreting) oxyntic cells. Stimulation of the cells with dibutyryladenosine 3,5-monophosphate and isobutylmethylxanthine increased channel open probability and simultaneously increased apical membrane surface area. This chloride channel is probably responsible for electrogenic chloride secretion by the gastric mucosa and may also participate in the fluid- and enzyme-secretory functions of the oxyntic cell, analogous to the chloride channels found in the apical membranes of other exocrine cells. ...

PPIs are the most potent inhibitors of gastric acid secretion available and are longer lasting than H2RA. After oral administration PPIs enter the blood stream then diffuse into parietal cells wherein an acidic environment they are protonated and trapped within the cell where they cause irreversible inhibition of the H+/K+-ATPase pump. Acid secretion only resumes when new proton pumps are synthesized in the parietal cells. After initial administration of a PPI, previously dormant parietal cells are activated, thus inhibition of acid secretion is approximately 30% of maximum on day 1 of administration. Maximum inhibition occurs within 2-4 days of PPI administration. Drugs in this class include omeprazole, pantoprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, rabeprazole, and dexlansoprazole; with the first 3 being the most commonly used in veterinary medicine.. Many veterinarians have administered H2RAs in conjunction with PPIs in an effort to have a stronger and more rapid effect on gastric pH. However, ...

We previously reported that both carbachol and epidermal growth factor (EGF) are potent inducers of the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERKs) in isolated gastric canine parietal cells and that induction of these kinases leads to acute inhibitory and chronic stimulatory effects on gastric acid secretion. In this study we investigated the molecular mechanisms responsible for these effects. Both carbachol (100 microM) and EGF (10 nM) induced Ras activation. The role of Ras in ERK2 induction was examined by transfecting parietal cells with a vector expressing hemoagglutinin (HA)-tagged ERK2 (HA-ERK2) together with a dominantly expressed mutant (inactive) ras gene. HA-ERK2 activity was quantitated by in-gel kinase assays. Dominant negative Ras reduced carbachol induction of HA-ERK2 activity by 60% and completely inhibited the stimulatory effect of EGF. Since Ras activation requires the assembly of a multiprotein complex, we examined the effect of carbachol and EGF on tyrosyl ...

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin, which means it gets excreted through our urine. It has many functions in the body that are imperative to our health. It works alongside other vitamins such as folic acid in the production of DNA, red blood cells, and the myelin sheath that surrounds nerves and helps with nerve conduction. Its important for every cell that undergoes a high rate of replication such as our hair, skin and gut. It also plays a major role in our energy metabolism and immune function.. Foods with high quantities of Vitamin B12 are red meat and other animal products such as poultry, eggs, milk and some fortified cereals. However, if your digestive system isnt working optimally, you might not be absorbing B12 from your diet. Parietal cells are cells in your stomach that produce HCL and intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor is required for the absorption of B12 in the small intestine. Medications used for heartburn will often interfere with the function of these cells or alkalinize ...

Vitamin B12 is absorbed both actively and passively in the body. Active absorption is by far the main way in which B12 is taken up and relies on the presence of a protein molecule called intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor is produced by the parietal cells of the stomach and it is here, in the stomach that the intrinsic factor binds to the B12. A healthy stomach lining is therefore essential for this process. In this bound form, vitamin B12 is protected on its journey through the stomach and duodenum. Finally both the B12 and its transport molecule are absorbed in the small intestine and first becomes available to the body. B12 can be absorbed to a much lesser extent passively across the gut cell membrane by passive diffusion. This inefficient type of absorption may be useful in circumstances where the parietal cells, which are present in the stomach walls, have become damaged. Causes of B12 deficiency. A common reason for an inadequate supply of B12 is an inappropriate diet. On a purely vegan ...
