摘要
Background/Aims: Leukotrienes (LTs) are involved in many inflammatory conditions including gastric damage induced by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Although LTs stimulate acid secretion, the effect they exert on pepsinogen secretion is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate whether LTs stimulate pepsinogen secretion by isolated chief cells and to identify the intracellular messengers that mediate this action. Methods: Isolated chief cells were incubated with concentrations of LTB(4), LTC(4), LTD(4), or LTE(4) ranging from 0.1 pmol/L to 10 mu mol/L, and pepsinogen release, intracellular calcium and inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate (IP3) concentrations were measured. Nitric oxide generation was determined by the amount of citrulline generated during incubation. Results: All four LTs caused a concentration-dependent stimulation of pepsinogen secretion with 50% effective concentration of 0.05-0.1 nmol/L and a dose-dependent increase in cytoplasmic free calcium and IP3 concentration. The LTB(4) and LTD(4) antagonists caused selective, concentration-dependent inhibition of LTB(4)- and LTD(4)-induced pepsinogen secretion, calcium mobilization, and IP3 generation. All four LTs increased NO generation, and the effect was inhibited by LTB(4) and LTD(4) antagonists and an NO synthase inhibitor N-G-monomethyl-L-auginine and reversed by L-arginine. N-G-monomethyl-L-arginine caused a 50%-60% reduction of LT-induced pepsinogen release. Each of the four LTs caused a fivefold increase in 5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate. Conclusions: LTs are powerful stimulators of pepsinogen secretion in isolated chief cells and act via occupancy of specific cell-surface receptors.
