Calpain 8/nCL-2 and calpain 9/nCL-4 constitute an active protease complex, G-calpain, involved in gastric mucosal defense.

Only registered users can translate articles

Calpains constitute a superfamily of Ca2+-dependent cysteine proteases, indispensable for various cellular processes. Among the 15 mammalian calpains, calpain 8/nCL-2 and calpain 9/nCL-4 are predominantly expressed in the gastrointestinal tract and are restricted to the gastric surface mucus (pit)

Gastrointestinal safety of nitric oxide-derived aspirin is related to inhibition of ICE-like cysteine proteases in rats.

OBJECTIVE Caspases, a class of cysteine proteases, modulate apoptosis. Nitric oxide (NO)-releasing nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a new class of NSAID derivatives with reduced gastrointestinal toxicity. The aim of this study was to investigate whether cysteine endoproteases are

Suppression of Helicobacter pylori protease activity towards growth factors by sulglycotide.

Only registered users can translate articles

Infection with H. pylori is now recognized as a major factor in the pathogenesis of gastric disease. Here, we examined the susceptibility of epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF beta) and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) to

Mitochondrial cytochrome c release and caspase-3-like protease activation during indomethacin-induced apoptosis in rat gastric mucosal cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Indomethacin (IND), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, has been known to cause gastric mucosal injury as a side effect. Using a rat gastric mucosal cell line, RGM1, we determined whether apoptosis is involved in IND-mediated gastropathy, and whether caspase activation and mitochondrial

Colloidal bismuth subcitrate (De-Nol) inhibits degradation of gastric mucus by Campylobacter pylori protease.

Only registered users can translate articles

There is increased awareness that infection with Campylobacter pylori could be a major factor in the pathogenesis of gastric disease. Here, we present evidence that the extracellular protease elaborated by this bacteria, which causes degradation of gastric mucus, is inhibited by an antiulcer agent,

How many protein molecules are secreted by single Helicobacter pylori cells: Quantification of serine protease HtrA.

Only registered users can translate articles

Infection with Helicobacter pylori represents a major risk for developing peptic ulcer disease, gastric adenocarcinoma, and various other gastric and nongastric sicknesses. A series of H. pylori virulence factors can be secreted into the cell culture supernatant, and the secretome contains more than

Characterisation of worldwide Helicobacter pylori strains reveals genetic conservation and essentiality of serine protease HtrA.

Only registered users can translate articles

HtrA proteases and chaperones exhibit important roles in periplasmic protein quality control and stress responses. The genetic inactivation of htrA has been described for many bacterial pathogens. However, in some cases such as the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, HtrA is secreted where it

Immunoproteomics of Helicobacter pylori infection and relation to gastric disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

The Gram negative bacterium Helicobacter pylori is a human pathogen which infects the gastric mucosa and causes an inflammatory process leading to gastritis, ulceration and cancer. A systematic, proteome based approach was chosen to detect candidate antigens of H. pylori for diagnosis, therapy and

The structural basis for the prevention of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug-induced gastrointestinal tract damage by the C-lobe of bovine colostrum lactoferrin.

Only registered users can translate articles

Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), due to their good efficacy in the treatment of pain, inflammation, and fever, are among the most prescribed class of medicines in the world. The main drawback of NSAIDs is that they induce gastric complications such as peptic ulceration and injury to the

The effect of pancreatic enzyme supplementation in patients with steatorrhoea after total gastrectomy.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To assess the influence of pancreatic enzyme supplementation on symptoms, energy intake, bowel habits, and fat malassimilation in patients after total gastrectomy. METHODS A prospective, double-blind, randomized, parallel, placebo-controlled, multi-centre trial. METHODS Institutionalized

An improved radioimmunoassay for measurement of pepsinogen in porcine blood samples.

Only registered users can translate articles

The study was conducted to develop a sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay (RIA) for the measurement of pepsinogen in porcine serum, and to use this test for the determination of pepsinogen concentrations in serum samples from fetuses and pigs of different ages. Compared to a previously described

[Physiological importance of calpains in gastric mucosal defense].

Only registered users can translate articles

The continuous and/or improper ingestion of irritants, including alcohol, NSAIDs, and Helicobacter pylori, often leads to serious gastropathies, affecting a wide range of people. A complex gastric defense system works to protect against these threats, for example by secreting mucus. Recently, by

Anti-Helicobacter pylori activities of ebrotidine. A review of biochemical and animal experimental studies and data.

Only registered users can translate articles

Infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is now recognized as a major factor in the pathogenesis of gastric disease, and the successful therapy regimens require a combination of H2 blockers with gastroprotective and antimicrobial agents. Ebrotidine (N-[(E)-[[2-[[[2-[(diaminomethylene)

Omeprazole induces apoptosis in normal human polymorphonuclear leucocytes.

Only registered users can translate articles

We investigated in vitro apoptosis in human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) induced by omeprazole. This drug, both in the native (OM) and acidified (OM-HCl) form, is a potent inducer of PMN apoptosis. The effect is time- and dose-dependent. OM-HCl is more efficient than OM in inducing PMN

Gastroprotective agents in mucosal defense against Helicobacter pylori.

Only registered users can translate articles

1. Convincing evidence now exists that infection with H. pylori plays a major role in the pathogenesis of gastric disease. Having a niche bordering two major perimeters of mucosal defenses, the bacterium apparently exerts its detrimental effect on the mucus layer as well as the gastric epithelium.
