ClC-2 Cl- channels represent a potential target for therapy in cystic fibrosis. Key questions regarding the feasibility of using ClC-2 as a therapeutic target are addressed in the present studies, including whether the channels are present in human lung epithelia and whether activators of the channel can be identified. Two new mechanisms of activation of human recombinant ClC-2 Cl- channels expressed in HEK-293 cells were identified: amidation with glycine methyl ester catalyzed by 1-ethyl-3(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) and treatment with acid-activated omeprazole. ClC-2 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. Channel function was assessed by measuring Cl- currents by patch clamp in the presence of a cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) inhibitor, myristoylated protein kinase inhibitor, to prevent PKA-activated Cl- currents. Calu-3, A549, and BEAS-2B cell lines derived from different human lung epithelia contained ClC-2 mRNA, and Cl- currents were increased by amidation, acid-activated omeprazole, and arachidonic acid. Similar results were obtained with buccal cells from healthy individuals and cystic fibrosis patients. The ClC-2 Cl- channel is thus a potential target for therapy in cystic fibrosis.

After oral and intravenous administration of [14C]clarithromycin to rats, c. 60-70% of the radioactivity in the gastric tissue was found to be distributed in the mucosal layer. Co-administration of lansoprazole and amoxicillin had no apparent effect on this distribution pattern of [14C]clarithromycin. The amount of unchanged [14C]clarithromycin in gastric contents increased with co-administration of lansoprazole and amoxicillin. Microautoradiograms of the gastric mucosa showed that [14C]clarithromycin was highly distributed in the mucous layer and in surface epithelial cells following oral administration. Homogeneous distribution of radioactivity was evident in the fundic gland. With iv administration, [14C]clarithromycin seemed to be secreted by both secreting cells in the gland base and surface epithelial cells.

BACKGROUND: Phospholipids concentration in the gastric mucosa decreased in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of eradication of H. pylori on decreasing the phospholipids concentration in the gastric mucosa in patients with gastric or duodenal ulcer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and sphingonomyeline) were measured in biopsy specimens from the antrum and corpus using thin-layer chromatography. In H. pylori positive patients with gastric ulcer (n = 26) and duodenal ulcer (n = 13), and H. pylori negative controls (n = 20), the biopsy specimens were obtained before and 3 months after eradication. Eradication was performed using lansoprazole, amoxycillin, and clarithromycin. RESULTS: Compared with the H. pylori negative control group, the concentrations of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine decreased significantly in the gastric ulcer group in both antrum and corpus mucosa, and in the duodenal ulcer group in antrum mucosa. This decrease returned to the control level after eradication. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that the eradication of H. pylori in patients with peptic ulcer normalized the decrease of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine in the gastric mucosa.
