Ischemia followed by reperfusion is known to produce gastric lesions due to oxidative stress, but the role of gastric H(+) secretion in the formation of this mucosal injury remains unknown. We studied alterations in gastric acid secretion and gastric histamine content, as well as the expression of histidine-decarboxylase and interleukin-1beta during the mucosal recovery from ischemia-reperfusion erosions. Gastric secretion was studied in rats (series A) with gastric fistula before, during and after the ischemia induced by clamping of celiac artery for 0.5 h followed by reperfusion in animals pretreated with vehicle (saline), omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, or ranitidine, a histamine (H(2)) receptor antagonist. In series B, the animals were submitted to 0.5 h of ischemia followed by 1 h of reperfusion and then anesthetized at 0, 3, 12 and 24 h or 3, 5, 10 or 15 days after the end of ischemia-reperfusion to determine gastric blood flow by H(2)-gas clearance technique, area of gastric lesions, plasma gastrin and interleukin-1beta levels, histamine content by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and expression of histidine-decarboxylase and interleukin-1beta mRNA by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Clamping of celiac artery caused cessation of gastric blood flow and almost complete suppression of basal gastric acid secretion (series A) that returned gradually to the control value at day 3 after ischemia-reperfusion, accompanied by the rise in plasma gastrin levels, pronounced expression of histidine-decarboxylase mRNA and increased mucosal histamine content. Ischemia, followed by 1 h of reperfusion, produced gastric erosions (series B) that reached maximum at 12 h, but then declined at 24 h. These erosions progressed at day 3 into deeper ulcers whose area declined progressively within the next 5-15 days. The gastric blood ceased to flow (series B) during 30 min of clamping and was reduced throughout the period of healing of acute erosions, being accompanied by a gradual rise in mucosal interleukin-1beta mRNA content and in plasma interleukin-1beta levels. Treatment with omeprazole or ranitidine, which completely suppressed gastric acid secretion and significantly raised plasma gastrin level, greatly reduced the formation of erosive lesions preventing the progression of these lesions to chronic gastric ulcers, and this was accompanied by the rise in gastric blood flow and plasma gastrin levels and the significant attenuation of plasma interleukin-1beta levels. The ranitidine and omeprazole-induced suppression of ischemia-reperfusion erosions were abolished by the instillation of exogenous 0.2 N HCl into the stomach of these rats. The histidine-decarboxylase was faintly expressed in the intact gastric mucosa, but strongly upregulated during mucosal recovery from the damage induced by ischemia-reperfusion. We conclude that following ischemia-reperfusion: (1) gastric acid secretion, gastric microcirculation and histamine production markedly decline, while interleukin-1beta release significantly increases, probably playing an important role in the progression of acute lesions into chronic gastric ulcerations; (2) the suppression of gastric acid secretion by omeprazole and ranitidine, that induces hypergastrinemia, prevents the progression of gastric erosions into ulcers; and (3) the addition of exogenous acid restores the progression of the acute lesions into gastric ulcers, indicating that gastric acid plays a key role in ulcerogenesis induced by ischemia-reperfusion.
