Abstract:
:It has previously been shown that mucosal nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is involved in acid-induced duodenal mucosal alkaline secretion. The primary aim of the present study was to elucidate which isoform of NOS is responsible in rats. Immunohistochemistry showed that inducible NOS (iNOS) was constitutively expressed in villous epithelial cells. Exposing the duodenal mucosa to 10 mM HCl resulted in an increased duodenal mucosal alkaline secretion. This response was totally inhibited by intraluminal administration of a selective inhibitor of iNOS (L-N6-1-iminoethyl-lysine). One hour after the acid exposure, western blot technique showed a marked increase in mucosal iNOS expression. A second acid exposure resulted in a further stimulation of alkaline secretion. These data suggest that exposure of the duodenal mucosa to HCI initiates an increased mucosal alkaline secretion, via NO synthesis mediated by iNOS located in the epithelial cells of the villi. In addition, luminal acid stimulates expression of iNOS.
