Abstract

The pH-independent effect of PPI such as lansoprazole(LPZ) on cell restitution was shown in vitro. After wounding, addition of LPZ significantly promoted the cell restitution rate. While the addition of MEK inhibitor significantly attenuated the cell restitution rate in the LPZ groups, suggesting that mechanism of cell proliferation and migration promoted by LPZ might involve the activation of p44/p42 MAPK.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a review, done in animal, not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
