Abstract

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are a family of central signaling molecules that respond to numerous stimuli and are known to participate in processes of cell survival and death. However, it is not clear on data for cell-type specific activation of MAPKs in the progression of gastric ulcer. In the present study, we assessed how MAPKs localized at various cell types during the progression of gastric ulcer induced by ibuprofen. Gastric ulcer was induced by the repeated treatment of 200 mg/kg ibuprofen with 8 hrs interval in a day. Animals were sacrificed at 24 hrs, 48 hrs, and 72 hrs after oral treatment of ibuprofen and gastric tissues were subjected to immunohistochemical and immunoblotting evaluation. Immunoreactivity of phospho-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK) was mainly expressed at the proliferating zone of gastric mucosa in control rats. But, these signals for p-ERK were highly shifted from cells of proliferating zone to parietal cells of the basal regions 24 hrs after treatment of ibuprofen. p-ERK signal was strongly expressed in epithelial cells adjacent to ulcer margin and new capillary and infiltrated inflammatory cells within granulation tissue of the ulcer base above 48 hrs after treatment of ibuprofen. While, phospho-c-Jun $NH_2$ terminal kinase (p-JNK) was mainly localized to the nuclei of the surface epithelial cells and the glandular epithelial cells in early gastric injury. Also, p-JNK was often observed as a scattered pattern in different regions of gastric mucosa with early gastric injury. Gradually, signal of p-JNK was strongly stained in infiltrated inflammatory cells and fibroblasts within severe ulcer base. Phospho-p38 (p-p38) MAPK was observed as scattered pattern within connective tissues of gastric mucosa. Especially, p-p38 MAPK showed strong signal in infiltrated macrophages within ulcer base. These results show that each MAPK has a specific role in various cell types during the progression of gastric ulcer.

MAPKs는 다양한 세포자극에 반응하는 중요한 세포신호전달경로이며, 특히 세포의 생존과 사멸과정에 관여한다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 위궤양의 진행에 있어 MAPKs의 세포특이적 활성에 관한 연구결과들에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 이부프로펜에 의해 유도된 위궤양의 진행에 있어 활성화된 MAPKs가 다양한 세포들에 어떻게 분포하는지를 실험하였다. 위궤양 유발은 200 mg/kg 이부프로펜을 하루에 8시간간격으로 3번 투여하였다. 동물부검은 이부프로펜을 투여한 후 24, 48, 72시간에 실시하였고, 위조직은 면역조직화학 및 웨스턴블랏에 사용되었다. 활성화된 p-ERK는 정상 랫드 위점막상피의 위상피증식층에서만 주로 발현되었으나, 이부프로펜을 투여한 후 24시간째에는 위기저부의 벽세포들에서 강하게 발현되었다. 이부프로펜을 투여 후 48시간 경과한 군에 있어서는 위궤양에 인접한 위점막상피 또는 위궤양 기저부의 결합조직에 나타난 신생혈관, 염증세포 및 육아조직에서 p-ERK가 강하게 발현되었다. 반면에 p-JNK는 초기 위점막손상을 나타내는 위표면점막상피와 샘위의 점막상피세포의 핵에서 주로 발현되었다. 점차적으로 p-JNK는 위궤양 기저부의 결합조직내에 침윤된 염증세포, 섬유모세포에서 특히 강하게 염색되었다. P-p38 양성세포는 위점막의 결합조직내에서 분산되어 관찰되었으며, 특히 위궤양 기저부의 결합조직내로 침윤된 대식 세포에 강한 염색성을 나타내었다. 이상의 연구결과는 각각의 MAPK들이 위궤양진행에 있어 특정세포들의 활성화에 관여하는 것으로 보여진다.
