چکیده

We investigated the role that prostaglandins (PGs) and EP receptors play in facilitating the gastroprotective action of capsaicin against HCl/ethanol in rats and mice. Male Sprague-Dawley rats and C57BL/6 mice were used after 18 h of fasting. The animals were given HCl/ethanol (60% in 150 mM HCl) p.o. and killed 1 h later. Capsaicin or various EP agonists were given p.o. 30 min or i.v. 10 min before HCl/ethanol. In some cases, indomethacin or various EP agonists were given s.c. 30 min or i.v 10 min before capsaicin, respectively. Gastric lesions induced by HCl/ethanol were significantly inhibited by PGE(2) as well as capsaicin. The effect of PGE(2) was antagonized by ONO-AE-829 (EP1 antagonist), whereas the capsaicin action was mitigated by indomethacin as well as sensory deafferentation but not by ONO-AE-829. The generation of mucosal PGE(2) was not affected by either capsaicin or sensory deafferentation, but was significantly inhibited by indomethacin. Although neither butaprost (EP2), ONO-NT-012 (EP3), nor 11-deoxy PGE1 (EP4) alone had any effect on HCl/ethanol-induced gastric lesions, only butaprost restored the protective action of capsaicin in the presence of indomethacin. Capsaicin provided a protective action against HCl/ethanol-induced gastric lesions in wild-type (+/+) mice in an indomethacin-sensitive manner, and this action was similarly observed in EP1 (-/-) and EP3 (-/-) mice but not in the animals lacking IP receptors. These results suggest that capsaicin exhibits gastric cytoprotection, essentially by stimulating sensory neurons, and this action is facilitated by endogenous PGs through EP2/IP receptors, probably sensitizing the sensory neurons to capsaicin.

Gastric cytoprotection by prostaglandin E₂ and prostacyclin: relationship to EP1 and IP receptors.

Endogenous prostaglandins (PGs) play a role in modulating mucosal integrity and have various functions in the stomach, with E type PGs being the most effective. PGE₂ provides gastric cytoprotection against damage induced in rats by HCl/ethanol, indomethacin, or acid back-diffusion after barrier disruption. These effects were mimicked by EP1 agonists and/or attenuated by an EP1 antagonist, and d...

Endogenous Prostaglandins and Afferent Sensory Nerves in Gastroprotective Effect of Hydrogen Sulfide against Stress-Induced Gastric Lesions

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays an important role in human physiology, exerting vasodilatory, neuromodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. H2S has been implicated in the mechanism of gastrointestinal integrity but whether this gaseous mediator can affect hemorrhagic lesions induced by stress has been little elucidated. We studied the effect of the H2S precursor L-cysteine, H2S-donor NaHS, the H2...

Trigeminal nociceptors express prostaglandin receptors.

Orofacial inflammation is associated with prostaglandin release and the sensitization of nociceptive receptors such as the transient receptor potential subtype V(1) (TRPV(1)). We hypothesized that certain PGE(2) receptor subtypes (EP1-EP4) are co-expressed with TRPV(1) in trigeminal nociceptors and sensitize responses to a TRPV(1) agonist, capsaicin. Accordingly, combined in situ hybridization ...

Prostaglandin receptors EP2, EP3, and IP mediate exudate formation in carrageenin-induced mouse pleurisy.

The roles of prostaglandins (PGs) as mediators of inflammation have been extensively studied, and production of PGI2 and PGE2 at inflammatory sites has been reported. However, it has not yet been clarified which type of PG receptors has a major role in inflammatory exudation. To examine in vivo role of PG receptors in inflammatory exudation, we induced pleurisy in PG receptors (IP, EP1, EP2, EP...
