Bile salts induce or blunt cell proliferation in Barrett's esophagus in an acid-dependent fashion.

چکیده
Barrett's esophagus (BE) results from acid and bile reflux and predisposes to cancer. We investigated the effect of bile salts, with or without acid, on cell proliferation in BE and assessed mechanism(s) involved. To mimic physiological conditions, biopsies of esophagus, BE, and duodenum were exposed to a bile salt mixture, either continuously or as a 1-h pulse, and were compared with control media without bile salts (pH 7.4) for < or =24 h. Similar experiments were also performed with acidified media (pH 3.5) combined with the bile salt mixture as a 1-h pulse. Cell proliferation was assessed by a [(3)H]thymidine incorporation assay with or without bisindolylmaleimide (BIM), a selective protein kinase C inhibitor. Bile salt pulses enhanced cell proliferation in BE without affecting cell proliferation in esophageal or duodenal epithelia. In the presence of BIM, there was complete obliteration of the bile salt-induced BE hyperproliferation. In contrast, 1-h pulses of bile salts in combination with acid significantly inhibited proliferation in BE but had no effect on esophagus or duodenum. We conclude that in BE explants, brief exposure to bile salts, in the absence of acid, increases proliferation, whereas exposure to a combination of bile salts and acid together inhibits proliferation.

متن کاملGene expression changes associated with Barrett's esophagus and Barrett's-associated adenocarcinoma cell lines after acid or bile salt exposure
BACKGROUND Esophageal reflux and Barrett's esophagus represent two major risk factors for the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Previous studies have shown that brief exposure of the Barrett's-associated adenocarcinoma cell line, SEG-1, or primary cultures of Barrett's esophageal tissues to acid or bile results in changes consistent with cell proliferation. In this study, we determined ...
متن کاملFrom Reflux Esophagitis to Esophageal Adenocarcinoma.
Reflux esophagitis causes Barrett's metaplasia, an abnormal esophageal mucosa predisposed to adenocarcinoma. Medical therapy for reflux esophagitis focuses on decreasing gastric acid production with proton pump inhibitors. We have reported that reflux esophagitis in a rat model develops from a cytokine-mediated inflammatory injury, not from a caustic chemical (acid) injury. In this model, reflu...
متن کاملAcid and bile salts induce DNA damage in human oesophageal cell lines.
Barrett's oesophagus is an acquired precancerous condition that develops from mucosal injury incurred due to chronic gastro-oesophageal reflux. The aim of this study was to determine if bile and/or acid components of the refluxate can induce DNA damage in vitro. The oesophageal cell lines FLO-1 and HET1-A were exposed to primary bile salts, individually or as a mixture, and the secondary bile s...
متن کاملCdx1 and c-Myc Foster the Initiation of Transdifferentiation of the Normal Esophageal Squamous Epithelium toward Barrett's Esophagus
BACKGROUND Barrett's esophagus is a premalignant condition whereby the normal stratified squamous esophageal epithelium undergoes a transdifferentiation program resulting in a simple columnar epithelium reminiscent of the small intestine. These changes are typically associated with the stratified squamous epithelium chronically exposed to acid and bile salts as a result of gastroesophageal refl...
