OBJECTIVE Gastrin stimulates acid secretion by mobilizing histamine from enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells that occur predominantly at the base of the gastric glands. The parietal cells occur higher up in the glands nearer to the gastric lumen. The present study was performed to assess whether histamine is transported from the ECL cell via the microcirculation (endocrine route) or local diffusion (paracrine route). METHODS Totally isolated, vascularly perfused, rat stomachs were examined both in basal and gastrin-stimulated state. Histamine concentrations, determined by radioimmunoassay in venous effluent and microdialysate from an indwelling probe in the submucosa, were monitored over a period of 240 min. Gastrin-17 was infused through an arterial catheter for 120 min. The parietal cells were examined by electron microscopy, and the percentage of actively secreting parietal cells (displaying secretory canaliculi) in four regions along the glands (basal to surface, zones I-IV) was determined. RESULTS Gastrin stimulated acid secretion and histamine release as well as parietal cell activation. Upon gastrin stimulation, histamine concentration in the microdialysate was 2.5-fold higher than in the venous effluent (P = 0.008). The parietal cells in the upper part of the gland (zone III) were found to be activated the most. CONCLUSIONS As the histamine concentrations were higher in the tissue (microdialysate) than in blood, histamine seems to reach the parietal cells via the paracrine route. The fraction of active parietal cells seems to depend more on the age of the parietal cells than on the distance from the ECL cell.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

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.

D006636 Histamine Release The secretion of histamine from mast cell and basophil granules by exocytosis. This can be initiated by a number of factors, all of which involve binding of IgE, cross-linked by antigen, to the mast cell or basophil's Fc receptors. Once released, histamine binds to a number of different target cell receptors and exerts a wide variety of effects. Histamine Liberation,Histamine Liberations,Histamine Releases
