The effects of omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, on gene expression, protein synthesis, intracellular storage and secretion of pepsinogen in guinea pig stomach were investigated. After treatment with omeprazole for five days, acid and pepsinogen secretion into the gastric lumen was significantly reduced. Concomitant with this, there was an increase in intracellular pepsinogen as demonstrated by increased pepsin activity in the gastric mucosa, more intense immunohistochemical staining by antibodies specific for pepsinogen and accumulation of secretory granules in the cells producing pepsinogen. In these cells, the amount of pepsinogen mRNA was reduced as revealed by Northern blotting and in situ hybridization. Ultrastructurally the endoplasmic reticulum of these cells was poorly developed, the findings being consistent with a reduction in protein synthesis. It appears that omeprazole inhibits the secretion of pepsinogen, increasing the intracellular store and leading to the reduction in gene expression probably by a feedback mechanism and consequent reduction in pepsinogen synthesis. Since these changes were most evident in the acid-secreting fundic gland mucosa, as compared with other mucosae secreting only pepsinogen, namely pyloric and duodenal mucosa, it appears probable that these changes are linked with omeprazole-induced reduction in the acid secretion.
