Anti-ulcer agents may likely attenuate lesions outside the gastrointestinal tract, since they had protected gastrectomized rats (a "direct cytoprotective effect"). Therefore, their therapeutic potential in lung/stomach lesions were shown. Rats received an intratracheal (i.t.) HCl instillation [1.5 ml/kg HCl (pH 1.75)] (lung lesion), and an intragastric (i.g.) instillation of 96% ethanol (gastric lesion; 1 ml/rat, 24 h after i.t. HCl instillation), then sacrificed 1 h after ethanol. Basically, in lung-injured rats, the subsequent ethanol-gastric lesion was markedly aggravated. This aggravation, however, in turn, did not affect the severity of the lung lesions in the further period, at least for 1 h of observation. Taking intratracheal HCl-instillation as time 0, a gastric pentadecapeptide, GEPPPGKPADDAGLV, M.W.1419, coded BPC 157 (10 microg, 10 ng, 10 pg), ranitidine (10 mg), atropine (10 mg), omeprazole (10 mg), were given [/kg, intraperitoneally (i.p.)] (i) once, only prophylactically [as a pre-treatment (at -1h)], or as a co-treatment [at 0)], or only therapeutically (at +18h or +24 h); (ii) repeatedly, combining prophylactic/therapeutic regimens [(-1 h)+(+24 h)] or [(0)+(+24 h)], or therapeutic/therapeutic regimens [(+18 h)+(+24 h)]. For all agents, combining their prophylactic and salutary regimens (at -1 h/+24 h, or at 0/+24 h) attenuated lung lesions; even if effect had been not seen already with a single application, it became prominent after repeated treatment. In single application studies, relative to controls, a co-treatment (except to omeprazole), a pre-treatment (at -1 h) (pentadecapeptide BPC 157 and atropine, but not ranitidine and omeprazole) regularly attenuated, while therapeutically, atropine (at +18 h), pentadecapeptide BPC 157 highest dose and omeprazole (at +24 h), reversed the otherwise more severe lung lesions.

Helicobacter pylori infection has been reported to induce various mucosal changes, including gastric adenocarcinoma, in Mongolian gerbils 62 weeks after inoculation. Using Mongolian gerbils, this study examined whether or not eradication of the bacteria with drugs at specified times after infection prevents the development of mucosal changes. After orally inoculating with H. pylori (TN2GF4, vacA- and cagA-positive), the animals were killed 18 months later. Four or 8 months after H. pylori inoculation, eradication was performed by concurrent treatment with omeprazole+clarithromycin. Immediately after treatment ended, in both the 5 and 9 month groups, it was verified that H. pylori was completely eradicated. Autopsy performed 18 months after H. pylori inoculation revealed gastric hyperplastic polyps with erosive lesions and ulcers that were grossly visible in the non-treated control group. In addition, atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, carcinoids, and adenocarcinomas were histologically observed in the animals. In animals eradicated after 4 months and autopsied after 18 months, however, such mucosal changes were not observed. In contrast, intestinal metaplasia and mucosal atrophy was observed in animals eradicated after 8 months and autopsied after 18 months. It was concluded that early eradication of H. pylori infection with drug therapy can prevent severe gastric mucosal changes, to include adenocarcinomas, in Mongolian gerbils.

The present study examined the expression of 73-kDa of heat shock cognate protein (HSC70), 72-kDa of heat shock protein (HSP70) and 47-kDa of HSP (HSP47) observed in the ulcer healing process in rats. Gastric ulcers were induced by a luminal application of acetic acid in male Donryu rats. During the ulcer healing process, the expression of HSPs in the ulcerated tissue was determined. A high level of HSC70 expression was observed both in the normal mucosa and ulcerated tissue, but the level did not change upon ulceration and ulcer healing. While HSP70 and HSP47 were markedly expressed in the ulcer base during ulceration, and decreased with ulcer healing. HSP70 expression in the ulcer margin was gradually increased with ulcer healing. Omeprazole accelerated the healing of gastric ulcers with strong inhibition of gastric acid secretion, while indomethactin delayed in ulcer healing despite slight inhibition of gastric acid secretion. Omperazole enhanced the expression of HSP70 both in the ulcer margin and base, but it reduced HSP47 expression in the ulcer base Indomethacin markedly enhanced HSP47 expression only in the ulcer base. In conclusion, the expression of HSP70 and HSP47 is changed during ulcer healing. Furthermore, it was suggested that the enhanced expression of HSP70 is involved in acceleration of ulcer healing, but overexpression of HSP47 is involved in delayed ulcer healing.
