Molecular mechanisms involved in anti-inflammatory effects of proton pump inhibitors
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Interleukin (IL)-8 has been reported to participate in neutrophil infiltration in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-induced gastritis in humans. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory actions beyond the suppression of acid secretion by proton pump inhibitors (PPI), such as omeprazole and lansoprazole, on IL-8 production by gastric epithelial cells (MKN45) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and on the transendothelial migration of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: MKN45 and HUVEC were stimulated with H. pylori water extract (HPE) and IL-1beta, respectively, and nuclear factor kappa B (NFkappaB) activation and subsequent IL-8 production was assessed in the absence or presence of PPI. We also assessed the effect of PPI on IL-8-induced PMN transendothelial migration and on the alteration of cytoplasmic calcium concentration in formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP)-stimulated PMN.
RESULTS: HPE and IL-1beta induced a significant increase in IL-8 production by MKN45 and HUVEC, respectively, along with NFkappaB activation, which was significantly inhibited by PPI. PPI also inhibited the IL-8-induced transendothelial migration of PMN and the fMLP-induced cytosolic calcium increase in PMN.
CONCLUSIONS: PPI attenuate PMN-dependent gastric mucosal inflammation partly by interfering with NFkappaB activation in vascular endothelial cells and gastric epithelial cells, and partly by modulating the calcium concentration…
