BACKGROUND Glucocorticoids have been shown to induce peptic ulcers, especially when co-administered with NSAIDs. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) plays a role in gastric ulcer repair, facilitating the restitution of gastric mucosal epithelial cells. HGF expression is induced by PGs in gastric fibroblasts. We hypothesized that dexamethasone (DEX) may inhibit PG production and HGF expression, thus inhibiting HGF-induced gastric epithelial restitution. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of DEX on gastric restitution, using cultured gastric cells, the role of HGF in the restitution inhibited by DEX, and the effect of rebamipide on DEX- inhibited restitution. METHODS Human gastric fibroblasts were prepared from human stomach obtained at surgery; PGE2 and HGF is determined by ELISA; Restitution was assessed by the round wound restitution model, using coculture of gastric fibroblasts and epithelial cells; COX-2 and HGF mRNA were quantified by TaqMan RT-PCR system. RESULTS 1. DEX inhibited HGF mRNA and COX-2 mRNA. Accordingly, it inhibited PGE2 and HGF release. 2. DEX inhibited the restitution of gastric cells. 3. The inhibition of restitution was reversed by HGF and rebamipide to the same extent. 4. Rebamipide induced PGE2 and HGF. CONCLUSIONS DEX inhibits restitution via HGF depletion, and rebamipide reverses the inhibited restitution by HGF induction.

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
