Exogenous thiol compounds have been reported to protect the stomach from ethanol-induced necrotic lesions. The gastric mucosa contains high levels of an endogenous thiol, glutathion (GSH). Because of the known role of glutathione in protecting against hepatic injury, its role in gastric mucosal cytoprotection was of interest. By use of an animal model for acute gastric injury from ethanol, a close parallel relation between depletion of endogenous mucosal GSH and induction of mucosal protection was demonstrated. Surprisingly, mucosal protection varied inversely with the level of mucosal GSH obtained after treatment with specific GSH-depleting agents (diethyl maleate and cyclohexene-1-one). Depletion of gastric mucosal GSH was associated with an increase in the mucosal content of prostaglandins 6-keto F1 alpha and F2 alpha but not E2. The protective effect induced by GSH-depleting agents was partially reversed by indomethacin in some but not all studies. Although GSH depletors increased gastric juice volume, protection with these agents persisted after the volume and mucosal GSH had returned to control levels and also was not reversed by increasing the dose of ethanol threefold to overcome a possible dilutional effect. We conclude that, contrary to apparent predictions, depletion of endogenous gastric GSH protects the stomach from acute ethanol-induced injury. Although the mechanism of this protection is unknown, a mediation by endogenous release of prostaglandins seems to play a minor role since diethyl maleate was protective even in indomethacin-treated animals.
