Abstract

Helicobacter pylori infection can be associated with chronic gastric inflammation and hypochlorhydria with increased levels of the proinflammatory cytokines. The current study investigated the effects of TNF-alpha on programmed death of gastric parietal cells. TNF-alpha induced apoptosis of parietal cells in isolated perfused rat stomachs at 10 ng/mL. In isolated and highly enriched rat parietal cells, 10 ng/mL TNF-alpha induced a 2.6-fold increase in the apoptotic rate. The 55 kDa protein of TNFR-I but not the 75 kDa of TNFR-2 was detected by Western blot analysis. TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis of isolated parietal cells was inhibited by pretreatment with different NF-kappaB-inhibitors, nitric oxide synthase inhibitors and with antisense-oligodeoxynucleotides against the p65 subunit of NF-kappaB. Investigation of downstream signaling pathways of apoptosis revealed that TNF-alpha induced the expression of NOS, but failed to stimulate the activity of caspase 3. The TNF-alpha effect on gastric parietal cells may contribute to the atrophy and hypochlorhydria of the gastric mucosa observed during chronic H. pylori infection. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Inc.
