The stomach is generally regarded as an environment that is not conducive to bacterial colonization. In this study, we examined the possibility that this changes significantly when an ulcer has formed and that colonization of ulcers interferes with the normal healing process. Gastric ulcers were induced by serosal application of acetic acid. The relationship between ulcer healing and bacterial colonization was examined. The effects of antibiotics, induction of Lactobacilluscolonization, and selective colonization with an antibiotic resistant strain of Escherichia coli on ulcer healing were examined. Within 6–12 h of their induction, gastric ulcers were colonized by a variety of bacteria, with gram-negative bacteria predominating. Suppression of colonization with antibiotics resulted in marked acceleration of healing. Induction of Lactobacillus colonization also accelerated ulcer healing. The beneficial effects of antibiotics were reversed through selective colonization with antibiotic-resistant E. coli. Bacterial colonization occurred irrespective of the method used to induce the ulcer. This study demonstrates that colonization of gastric ulcers in rats occurs rapidly and significantly impairs ulcer healing. This effect appeared to be primarily attributable to gram-negative bacteria.

Cell proliferation and angiogenesis are of utmost importance for healing to take place. The KI67 and EGFR proteins are markers of cell proliferation, while CD31 and factor VIII are markers of angiogenesis. To elucidate the mechanism responsible for delayed healing of the gastric injury in old age, we analyzed the expression of these markers in rats of different months during the healing of an acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer. Male Wistar rats (aged 3, 6, 12, and 18 months) divided into four groups, according to their ages, formed the experimental animals. Stomach tissue samples were collected on days 3, 7, 14, and 21 after induction for assessment of ulcer healing. The area of gastric mucosa healed was inversely proportional to age. The expression of markers of proliferation (KI67 and EGFR) and angiogenesis (factor VIII and CD31) decreased significantly (p<0.05) in older rats when compared with younger ones (3 months > six months > 12 months > 18 months) on days 7, 14, and 21 after induction of gastric ulcer. This study revealed that the slower gastric ulcer healing rate in older rats might be due to reduced epithelial cell proliferation and angiogenic activities.

The importance of prostaglandin E2 in various pathophysiological events emphasizes the necessity of understanding the role of PGE synthases (PGESs) in vivo. However, there has been no report on the functional relevance of microsomal PGES-1 (mPGES-1) to the physiological healing processes of gastric ulcers, or to angiogenesis, which is indispensable to the healing processes. In this report, we tested whether mPGES-1 plays a role in the healing of gastric ulcers and in the enhancement of angiogenesis using mPGES-1 knockout mice (mPGES-1 KO mice) and their wild-type (WT) counterparts. Gastric ulcers were induced by the serosal application of 100% acetic acid, and the areas of the ulcers were measured thereafter. mPGES-1 together with cyclooxygenase-2 were induced in the granulation tissues compared with normal stomach tissues. The healing of acetic acid-induced ulcers was significantly delayed in mPGES-1 KO mice compared with WT. This was accompanied with reduced angiogenesis in ulcer granulation tissues, as estimated by CD31 mRNA levels determined by real-time PCR and the microvessel density in granulation tissues. The mRNA levels of proangiogenic growth factors, such as transforming growth factor-β, basic fibroblast growth factor, and connective tissue growth factor in ulcer granulation tissues determined were reduced in mPGES-1 KO mice compared with WT. The present results suggest that mPGES-1 enhances the ulcer-healing processes and the angiogenesis indispensable to ulcer healing, and that a selective mPGES-1 inhibitor should be used with care in patients with gastric ulcers.

Gastric ulcers are a worldwide health problem and their poor healing is one of the most important causes for their recurrence. We have previously reported the remarkable gastroprotective and anti-Helicobacter pylori activities of the methanolic extract (CpMet) of Cyrtocarpa procera bark. This work investigates, in a murine model, the CpMet gastroprotective mechanism and establishes its preclinical efficacy in the resolution of ethanol-induced gastric ulcers. The results showed that the gastroprotective activity of CpMet is mainly associated with endogenous NO and prostaglandins, followed by sulfhydryl groups and KATP channels. Furthermore, CpMet (300 mg/kg, twice a day) orally administered during 20 consecutive days promoted an ulcer area reduction of 62.65% at the 20th day of the treatment. The effect was confirmed macroscopically by the alleviation of gastric mucosal erosions and microscopically by an increase in mucin content and a reduction in the inflammatory infiltration at the site of the ulcer. No clinical symptoms or signs of toxicity were observed in the treated animals. The results indicate the safety and efficacy of CpMet in promoting high quality of ulcer healing by different mechanisms, but mostly through cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects, making it a promising phytodrug for ulcer treatment.
