Endogenous prostaglandins (PGs) play a central role in adaptive
cytoprotection induced in the stomach by mild irritants. In the present
study, we used taurocholate (TC) as a mild irritant in both rats and
EP-receptor knockout mice, and examined which EP receptor is
responsible for the adaptive gastric cytoprotection. Gastric lesions
were induced by p.o. administration of HCl/ethanol (60% ethanol in 150 mM HCl). TC (5-20 mM) or PGE2 was administered p.o. 30 min before
HCl/ethanol. HCl/ethanol-induced gastric lesions were dose dependently
prevented by TC, and the effect at 20 mM was equivalent to that induced
by PGE2 at 0.3 mg/kg. The protective effect of TC was significantly
attenuated by indomethacin as well as ONO-AE-829, the EP1 antagonist,
but not by either NS-398, the selective cyclooxygenase (COX)-2
inhibitor, or chemical ablation of capsaicin-sensitive sensory neurons.
Likewise, the protective action of PGE2 was also antagonized by
ONO-AE-829 but not chemical deafferentation. TC significantly increased
PGE2 contents in the stomach, with or without chemical deafferentation,
and this effect was blocked in the presence of indomethacin but not
NS-398 or ONO-AE-829. TC increased the mucosal PGE2 contents similarly
in both wild-type and knockout mice lacking EP1 or EP3 receptors, yet
the protective action of TC against HCl/ethanol was observed in both
wild-type and EP3 receptor knockout mice, but not in mice lacking EP1
receptors. The present findings confirmed a role for endogenous PGE2
produced by COX-1 in adaptive gastric cytoprotection and suggested that
this action is mediated by activation of EP1-receptors but not
associated with capsaicin-sensitive afferent neurons.
