Abstract
Restoration of acid secretion after treatment with covalently-bound proton pump inhibitors may depend on protein turnover and on reversal of inhibition by reducing agents such as glutathione. Glutathione incubation of the H(+),K(+)-ATPase isolated from omeprazole or pantoprazole-treated rats reversed 88% of the omeprazole inhibition but none of the pantoprazole inhibition. The present study was designed to measure binding properties of omeprazole or pantoprazole in vivo. Rats were injected with (14)C-omeprazole or (14)C-pantoprazole after acid stimulation. The specific binding to the gastric H(+),K(+)-ATPase was measured at timed intervals as well as reversal of binding by glutathione reduction. The stoichiometry of omeprazole and pantoprazole binding to the catalytic subunit of the H(+),K(+)-ATPase was 2 moles of inhibitor per mole of the H(+),K(+)-ATPase phosphoenzyme. Omeprazole bound to one cysteine between transmembrane segments 5/6 and one between 7/8, pantoprazole only to the two cysteines in the TM5/6 domain. Loss of drug from the pump was biphasic, the fast component accounted for 84% of omeprazole binding and 51% of pantoprazole binding. Similarly, only 16% of omeprazole binding but 40% of pantoprazole binding was not reversed by glutathione. The residence time of omeprazole and pantoprazole on the ATPase in vivo depends on the reversibility of binding. Binding of pantoprazole at cysteine 822 is irreversible whereas that of omeprazole at cysteine 813 and 892 is reversible both in vivo and in vitro. This is consistent with the luminal exposure of cysteine 813 and 892 and the intra-membranal location of cysteine 822 in the 3D structure of the H(+),K(+)-ATPase.

Abstract
In this study we compared the protein kinase dependent regulation of gastric H,K-ATPase and Na,K-ATPase. The protein kinase A/protein kinase C (PKA/PKC) phosphorylation profile of H,K-ATPase was very similar to the one found in the Na,K-ATPase. PKC phosphorylation was taking place in the N-terminal part of the alpha-subunit with a stoichiometry of approximately 0.6 mol Pi/mole alpha-subunit. PKA phosphorylation was in the C-terminal part and required detergent, as is also found for the Na,K-ATPase. The stoichiometry of PKA-induced phosphorylation was approximately 0.7 mol Pi/mole alpha-subunit. Controlled proteolysis of the N-terminus abolished PKC phosphorylation of native H,K-ATPase. However, after detergent treatment additional C-terminal PKC sites became exposed located at the beginning of the M5M6 hairpin and at the cytoplasmic L89 loop close to the inner face of the plasma membrane. N-terminal PKC phosphorylation of native H,K-ATPase alpha-subunit was found to stimulate the maximal enzyme activity by 40-80% at saturating ATP, depending on pH. Thus, a direct modulation of enzyme activity by PKC phosphorylation could be demonstrated that may be additional to the well-known regulation of acid secretion by recruitment of H,K-ATPase to the apical membranes of the parietal cells. Moreover, a distinct difference in the regulation of H,K-ATPase and Na,K-ATPase is the apparent absence of any small regulatory proteins associated with the H,K-ATPase.

Abstract
Nitric oxide synthases (NOS) are enzymes that catalyze the generation of nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine and require nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) as a cofactor. At least three isoforms of NOS have been identified: neuronal NOS (nNOS or NOS I), inducible NOS (iNOS or NOS II), and endothelial NOS (eNOS or NOS II). Recent studies implicate NO in the regulation of gastric acid secretion. The aim of the present study was to localize the cellular distribution and characterize the isoform of NOS present in oxyntic mucosa. Oxyntic mucosal segments from rat stomach were stained by the NADPH-diaphorase reaction and with isoform-specific NOS antibodies. The expression of NOS in isolated, highly enriched (>98%) rat parietal cells was examined by immunohistochemistry, Western blot analysis, and RT-PCR. In oxyntic mucosa, histochemical staining revealed NADPH-diaphorase and nNOS immunoreactivity in cells in the midportion of the glands, which were identified as parietal cells in hematoxylin and eosin-stained step sections. In isolated parietal cells, decisive evidence for nNOS expression was obtained by specific immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, and RT-PCR. Cloning and sequence analysis of the PCR product confirmed it to be nNOS (100% identity). Expression of nNOS in parietal cells suggests that endogenous NO, acting as an intracellular signaling molecule, may participate in the regulation of gastric acid secretion.

Abstract
The enzyme responsible for gastric acidification is a heterodimeric (alpha and beta subunit) P-type ATPase, an integral protein of parietal cell apical membranes, which promotes electroneutral exchange of exoplasmic K(+) for cytoplasmic H(3)O(+). The molecular mechanisms of the catalytic exchange reaction are imperfectly understood, and await clarification of the precise topology of the enzyme with respect to the secretory membrane. Antibodies directed against H,K-ATPase subunits have been useful in confirming hydropathy plot predictions of HKalpha and HKbeta secondary structure. The monoclonal antibody HK 12.18, which labels gastric mucosal parietal cells by immunocytochemistry, and which binds to a single M(r) approximately 94,000 polypeptide by SDS-PAGE immunoblot of gastric microsomes, has been widely used as a specific marker of parietal cells in clinical and cell biological studies of acid secretion, and as a specific HKalpha probe in biochemical studies. However, the uncertain location of the HK 12.18 epitope has limited the antibody's usefulness as a topology probe. In this study, HK 12. 18 immune reactivity with native H,K-ATPase tryptic peptides, HKalpha cDNA fragments expressed in bacteria, and overlapping synthetic HKalpha tridecapeptides, was used to identify the HK 12.18 epitope as seven consecutive amino acids (Asp(682)-Met-Asp-Pro-Ser-Glu-Leu(688)) in the cytoplasmic middle third of HKalpha.

Abstract
The 28-kDa (on SDS-PAGE) Ca2+-regulated heat stable protein (CRHSP28) was recently purified as novel phosphoprotein in exocrine pancreas, since it undergoes an immediate increase in serine phosphorylation when acini are stimulated with Ca2+-mobilizing agonists. Examination of CRHSP28 protein expression in rat revealed that most was highly expressed in pancreas and other morphologically related exocrine tissues, including the parotid, lacrimal, and submandibular glands. Immunofluorescence staining in pancreas indicated that CRHSP28 was specifically concentrated in zymogen granule-rich areas in the apical cytoplasm of acinar cells. Lack of colocalization with pancreatic lipase in dual immunofluorescence studies confirmed localization of CRHSP28 to the area immediately surrounding the granules. Western analysis of pancreatic zymogen granule membrane proteins indicated CRHSP28 was not associated with the granules following their purification. A similar pattern of apical cytoplasmic secretory granule staining was noted in lacrimal and submandibular glands. CRHSP28 protein was also expressed at relatively high levels in mucosal epithelial cells of the stomach and small intestine. CRHSP28 was found in the supranuclear apical cytoplasm of cells lining the small intestinal crypts, including Paneth cells, and was abundant in the cytoplasm of goblet cells. In the stomach, strong CRHSP28 staining was seen in mucus-secreting cells in the upper portion of the gastric glands and in the apical, granule-rich cytoplasm of chief cells located in the lower portions of the glands. Dual labeling with anti-H+-K+-ATPase demonstrated a comparatively lower expression of CRHSP28 in parietal cells. Collectively, the high relative expression of CRHSP28 in various secretory cell types within the digestive system, together with its intracellular localization surrounding the acinar cell secretory granules, strongly supports a role for CRHSP28 in Ca2+-mediated exocrine secretion.

Abstract
To investigate the role of Glu820, located in transmembrane domain M6 of the alpha-subunit of gastric H+,K+-ATPase, a number of mutants was prepared and expressed in Sf9 cells using a baculovirus encoding for both H+,K+-ATPase subunits. The wild-type enzyme and the E820D (Glu820-->Asp) mutant showed a similar biphasic activation by K+ on the ATPase activity (maximum at 1 mM). The mutant E820A had a markedly decreased K+ affinity (maximum at 40-100 mM). The other mutants, E820Q, E820N, E820L and E820K, showed no K+-activated ATPase activity at all, whereas all mutants formed a phosphorylated intermediate. After preincubation with K+ before phosphorylation mutant E820D showed a similar K+-sensitivity as the wild-type enzyme. The mutants E820N and E820Q had a 10-20 times lower sensitivity, whereas the other three mutants were hardly sensitive towards K+. Upon preincubation with 3-(cyanomethyl)-2-methyl-8-(phenylmethoxy) imidazo [1,2a]-pyridine (SCH28080), all mutants showed similar sensitivity for this drug as the wild-type enzyme, except mutant E820Q, which could only partly be inhibited, and mutant E820K, which was completely insensitive towards SCH28080. These experiments suggest that, with a relatively large residue at position 820, the binding of SCH28080 is obstructed. The various mutants showed a behaviour in K+-stimulated-dephosphorylation experiments similar to that for K+-activated-ATPase-activity measurements. These results indicate that K+ binding, and indirectly the transition to the E2 form, is only fully possible when a negatively charged residue is present at position 820 in the alpha-subunit.

Abstract
The gastric H,K ATPase is an alpha beta heterodimeric member of the eukaryotic alkali-cation P-type ion-motive ATPase family. The alpha subunit is composed of 1033 amino acids and the beta subunit of 291 amino acids with 6 or 7 potential N-linked glycosylation sites. Much effort has been expended to define the membrane domain of P-type ATPases. A membrane domain of the large subunit consisting of 10 membrane-spanning sequences is suggested by a combination of methods such as (1) tryptic digestion, separation, and sequencing of membrane peptides, (2) labeling with extracytoplasmic reagents, and (3) in vitro translation of hydrophobic segments. The beta subunit has a single transmembrane segment with strong hydrophobic interactions with the alpha subunit. Blue native gel electrophoresis shows that the enzyme is an (alpha-beta)2 dimer. Cross-linking with Cu-phenanthroline provides evidence that association is between the alpha subunits, and the potential SH groups that are Cu sensitive are at cysteine 565 and cysteine 615, in the region of the large cytoplasmic loop between the fourth and fifth transmembrane segments. No cross-linking is observed in the membrane domain. ATP prevents cross-linking because of a conformational change at the surface of the protein induced by ATP or by direct binding of the nucleotide at the site of cross-linking. The WGA binding properties of the beta subunit allow investigation of the region of interaction with the alpha subunit. Thus, digestion of the enzyme by trypsin followed by SDS solubilization and selective elution from a WGA column resulted in coelution of the membrane fragment containing TM7 and TM8. This result demonstrates major hydrophobic interaction between the seventh and eighth transmembrane segments and the beta subunit. An antibody generated against rat parietal cells also recognized shared epitopes in the same region of both the alpha and beta subunits. Biochemical investigation of the arrangement of the transmembrane segments has been hindered by the lack of effective cross-linking reagents probably because of the compact arrangement of this domain, preventing even Cu access. A series of antiulcer drugs has been developed that have a unique chemistry related to their inhibition of the gastric H,K ATPase. They are 2-(substituted pyridyl methylsulfinyl) benzimidazoles, weak bases with a pKa of 4.0. After accumulation in the acidic space generated by the H,K ATPase either in vivo or in vitro, they undergo acid-catalyzed conversion to a tetracyclic sulfenamide which reacts with luminally accessible SH residues to form stable disulfide derivatives. In the particular case of pantoprazole, 2-(3,4-dimethoxy-2-pyridyl-methylsulfinyl)-5-difluoromethoxy benzimidazole, reaction is confined largely to cysteine 813, placed between the fifth and sixth transmembrane segments. The 5 azido analog of pantoprazole provided acid transport-dependent inhibition of the isolated transporting ATPase by this photoactivatable covalent SH reagent. The inhibited enzyme was then photolyzed, cleaved with trypsin, and the membrane fragments compared before and after photolysis. Disappearance of the segment corresponding to TM3,4 and a relative loss of the segment corresponding to TM7,8 suggests close proximity of these two membrane pairs to the loop joining the fifth and sixth transmembrane segments, in particular TM3,4. Use of this type of covalent, photoactivatable site-specific reagent to determine loop proximity can be extended to other acid transporters.

Abstract
The role of six negatively charged residues located in or around the fifth and sixth transmembrane domain of the catalytic subunit of gastric H+,K+-ATPase, which are conserved in P-type ATPases, was investigated by site-directed mutagenesis of each of these residues. The acid residues were converted into their corresponding acid amides. Sf9 cells were used as the expression system using a baculovirus with coding sequences for the alpha- and beta-subunits of H+,K+-ATPase behind two different promoters. Both subunits of all mutants were expressed like the wild type enzyme in intracellular membranes of Sf9 cells as indicated by Western blotting experiments, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and confocal laser scan microscopy studies. The mutants D824N, E834Q, E837Q, and D839N showed no 3-(cyanomethyl)-2-methyl-8(phenylmethoxy)-imidazo[1, 2a]pyridine (SCH 28080)-sensitive ATP dependent phosphorylation capacity. Mutants E795Q and E820Q formed a phosphorylated intermediate, which, like the wild type enzyme, was hydroxylamine-sensitive, indicating that an acylphosphate was formed. Formation of the phosphorylated intermediate from the E795Q mutant was similarly inhibited by K+ (I50 = 0.4 mM) and SCH 28080 (I50 = 10 nM) as the wild type enzyme, when the membranes were preincubated with these ligands before phosphorylation. The dephosphorylation reaction was K+-sensitive, whereas ADP had hardly any effect. Formation of the phosphorylated intermediate of mutant E820Q was much less sensitive toward K+ (I50 = 4.5 mM) and SCH 28080 (I50 = 1.7 microM) than the wild type enzyme. The dephosphorylation reaction of this intermediate was not stimulated by either K+ or ADP. In contrast to the wild type enzyme and mutant E795Q, mutant E820Q did not show any K+-stimulated ATPase activity. These findings indicate that residue Glu820 might be involved in K+ binding and transition to the E2 form of gastric H+,K+-ATPase.

Abstract
The presence and distribution of gastric-type H(+)-K(+)-ATPase were investigated in the rat colon using a monoclonal antibody raised against hog gastric H(+)-K(+)-ATPase. Rat stomach was used as positive control. Rat kidney and ileum, in both of which H(+)-K(+)-ATPase has been reported in the past, were also studied. In stomach, very strong staining was found confined to the parietal cells, and a strong band at M(r) approximately 94 kDa on the immunoblots. In colon a moderate staining was found in the supranuclear region of the epithelial cells, with similar intensity and distribution of staining of the surface and deep mucosa of the crypts, throughout the length of the colon. Another monoclonal antibody, specific to the 31 kDa subunit of H(+)-ATPase, used as a negative control, or omission of the primary antibody, resulted in lack of any staining in either colon or stomach. On immunoblots of homogenates of colonic mucosa, no specific band could be identified, either due to very low expression of the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase or loss of antigenicity of the epitope during the processing steps. No positive staining was observed in rat kidney and ileum, suggesting that they contain isoforms that are structurally different.

Abstract
AIMS To identify parietal cells in the upper gastrointestinal tract by an immunoperoxidase method, using commercially available monoclonal antibodies. METHODS Routine surgical biopsy specimens of gastric body mucosa were examined using the avidin-biotin peroxidase method with the monoclonal antibodies HMFG-1 and HMFG-2 to identify parietal cells. Double immunoperoxidase labelling with HK12.18, a well characterised monoclonal antibody directed against an epitope on the alpha (catalytic) subunit of H+ translocating, K+ stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (H,K-ATPase), was used to confirm that HMFG-1 and -2 stained parietal cells. RESULTS HMFG-1 and HMFG-2 showed consistent parietal cell staining patterns in the gastric body mucosa. HMFG-2 gave a more intense staining pattern of the secretory canaliculi. This was confirmed by double immunolabelling with HK12.18. CONCLUSIONS HMFG monoclonal antibodies are recommended as highly specific markers of human gastric parietal cells.

Abstract
While most structural studies of the Na,K-ATPase support a subunit stoichiometry of one alpha-subunit to one beta-subunit, the exact quaternary structure of the Na,K-ATPase and its relevance to enzyme function is the subject of much debate. Formation of a higher order enzyme complex is supported by our previous study demonstrating specific alpha/alpha interactions among the rat Na,K-ATPase isoforms (alpha 1, alpha 2, alpha 3), expressed in virally infected Sf-9 insect cells and among native alpha isoforms in rat brain (1). This detergent-resistant association was not observed in insect cells coexpressing the homologous gastric H,K-ATPase alpha-subunit, nor was it dependent on the coexpression of the beta-subunit. To delineate domains necessary for alpha/alpha assembly, a series of H,K-ATPase-Na, K-ATPase chimerase were constructed by combining the N-terminal, cytoplasmic midregion and C-terminal segments derived from the Na,K-ATPase (N) and the H,K-ATPase (H) alpha-polypeptides (HNN, HNH, NHH, NHN, and HHN). The alpha-subunit chimeras were coexpressed with the Na,K-ATPase alpha 1-subunit in Sf-9 cells using the baculovirus expression system. Specific and detergent-stable association is observed between the Na,K-ATPase alpha-subunit and the HNN and HNH chimeras, but not with the NHH, NHN, or HHN chimeras. Consistent with the Na,K-ATPase cytoplasmic domain as being necessary for alpha/alpha interactions, the full-length alpha-subunit stably associates with an alpha N-terminal deletion mutant (delta Gly2-Leu273), but not with an alpha cytoplasmic deletion mutant (delta Arg350-Pro785). In addition, the naturally occurring C-terminal truncated alpha 1 isoform, alpha 1T (delta Gly554 to C terminus), does not associated with the alpha 1-subunit in Sf-9 cells coexpressing both polypeptides. thus, a cytoplasmic region in the alpha-subunit (Gly554-Pro785) is necessary for specific alpha/alpha association. The same cytoplasmic region contains a strongly hydrophobic segment that, by analogy with oligomerization of water-soluble proteins, may form the interface of the extramembranous alpha/alpha contact site.

Abstract
Structural and functional interactions between alpha- and beta-subunits of the H,K-ATPase were explored. The sensitivity to trypsinolysis of alpha-subunit was monitored by SDS-PAGE in control H,K-ATPase-enriched microsomes and in microsomes in which disulfide bonds of the beta-subunit were reduced using 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME). Reduction of beta-subunit disulfide bonds increased the susceptibility of the alpha-subunit to tryptic digestion. Kinetics of trypsinolysis were also carried out in the presence of ligands known to bind with H,K-ATPase and favor a particular conformer state in the native enzyme. The time-course for release of tryptic peptides was monitored in protein stained gels and Western blots probed with monoclonal antibody alpha-H,K,12.18. In control preparations, where beta-subunit disulfides remained intact, trypsinolysis in the presence of ATP or K+ produced distinctive patterns of tryptic fragments, each characteristic of the conformational states induced by the respective ligand. For 2-ME-treated microsomes the altered alpha-subunit was unable to undergo ligand-induced conformational changes. The increased susceptibility of the alpha-subunit to trypsinization, the change in accessibility of tryptic cleavage sites and the inability of the alpha-subunit to undergo ligand-induced conformational changes after reduction of the beta-subunit disulfides suggest that the interactions between alpha- and beta-subunits are important for the conformational stability of the functional holoenzyme. A model localizing the most susceptible tryptic cleavage sites in control and 2-ME-reduced states is presented.

Abstract
The effect of inhibition of acid secretion on parietal cell morphology and the concentration of H,K-ATPase alpha-subunit protein was determined by electron microscopy and western blotting. Omeprazole or famotidine alone or in combination were used. Control animals showed a morphological stimulation index (0 = resting, 1.0 = fully stimulated) of 0.60; omeprazole treatment (1 mg/kg, twice a day) resulted a stimulation index of 0.63, famotidine injection (20 mg/kg twice a day) an index of 0.11, famotidine infusion (0.2 mg/hr) for five days an index of 0.38, and the combination of omeprazole and famotidine injection twice a day gave an index of 0.02. No change in the frequency of degenerating or damaged parietal cells was observed in any of the groups. In control animals, the number of lysosomes was 0.9/cell, with famotidine 1.8 and with omeprazole 5.6/cell. H/K-ATPase levels fell by about 25% with omeprazole and rose by about 23% with famotidine.

Abstract
Several antibodies against the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase were analysed for the topological and sequence location of their epitopes. Topological mapping was done by comparing indirect immunofluorescent staining in intact and permeabilised rat parietal cells. Epitope definition was by Western analysis of intact and of trypsin or V8-proteinase-fragmented hog gastric ATPase combined with N-terminal sequencing of the fragments; by Western analysis of fragments of rabbit alpha subunit expressed in Escherichia coli; by analysis of rabbit alpha and beta subunits expressed in baculovirus-transfected SF 9 cells and by ELISA assay of synthetic octamers of one region of the hog alpha subunit. It was confirmed that the monoclonal antibody, mAb 95-111, recognised a cytoplasmic region between M4 and M5, close to the ATP-binding domain. The major epitope for monoclonal antibody mAb 12-18 was also in this region, but a second epitope was confirmed to be present in the M7/M8 region. The monoclonal antibody, mAb 146-14, was shown to recognise an extracytoplasmic epitope dependent on intact disulfide bonds, present in the rat and the rabbit, but absent in the hog beta subunit, due to non-conservative amino-acid substitutions. This antibody also recognised an epitope present in the alpha subunit of the H+/K(+)-ATPase at the M7 extracytoplasmic interface, perhaps indicating structural association of these two regions. The polyclonal antibody, pAb39, raised against the C-terminal portion of the enzyme, reacted only with the cytoplasmic surface of the H+/K(+)-ATPase, showing that the alpha subunit of the enzyme has an even number of membrane spanning segments.

Abstract
We show that the so-called 'positive inside' rule, i.e. the observation that positively charged amino acids tend to be more prevalent in cytoplasmic than in extra-cytoplasmic segments in transmembrane proteins [von Heijne, G. (1986) EMBO J. 5, 3021-3027], seems to hold for all polar segments in multi-spanning eukaryotic membrane proteins irrespective of their position in the sequence and hence can be used in conjunction with hydrophobicity analysis to predict their transmembrane topology. Further, as suggested by others, we confirm that the net charge difference across the first transmembrane segment correlates well with its orientation [Hartmann, E., Rapoport, T. A. and Lodish H. F. (1989) Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 86, 5786-5790], and that the overall amino-acid composition of long polar segments can also be used to predict their cytoplasmic or extra-cytoplasmic location [Nakashima, H. and Nishikawa, K. (1992) FEBS Lett. 303, 141-146]. We present an approach to the topology prediction problem for eukaryotic membrane proteins based on a combination of these methods.

Abstract
The parietal cells, which are responsible for the production of gastric HCl acid, are uniquely equipped for high-gradient ion transport. Adequate energy is supplied by oxidative metabolism in the mitochondria, which occupy an exceptionally high proportion of the cytoplasmic volume. Another characteristic feature is the secretory canaliculi. These are tortuous small channels lined by microvilli which penetrate all parts of the cytoplasm and which expand during stimulation of secretion. The activity of the parietal cell is controlled by receptors for acetylcholine, histamine and gastrin on the basolateral cell membrane. Stimulation of these receptors modulates the levels of protein kinases in the cell and brings about the changes from resting to stimulated structure. A key role in the production of acid is played by the gastric acid pump, also known as the H+, K(+)-ATPase, which exports hydrogen ions in 1:1 exchange for potassium ions. This protein is a member of the P-type ATP-driven ion pumps and appears to be uniquely located in the parietal cell. The gastric acid pump is found in the tubulovesicular membranes of the resting cell and moves to the membrane lining the secretory canaliculus when acid secretion is stimulated. Functional acid secretion also requires the presence of KCl pathways in the secretory membrane in order to supply the acid pump with a source of potassium ions. For each hydrogen ion secreted across the secretory membrane, one bicarbonate ion is generated in the cytoplasm and is transported across the basolateral membrane in exchange for chloride. The movement of ions across the apical membrane is followed osmotically by water, resulting in the secretion of 160 mM HCl from the parietal cell.

Abstract
We have attempted to bring together in graphic fashion the available evidence on the structure of the Na,K-ATPase and the H,K-ATPase. There appears to be much room for modification of the existing models for transmembrane folding. More sites on each side of the membrane need to be identified. Whether these will be antibody epitopes, sites of covalent modification, or tags inserted by mutagenesis is less important than that there be many of them and that each be verified by alternative approaches. If any single principle has emerged from the study of the topography of membrane proteins, it is that it is easy to reach conclusions too soon.

Abstract
The presence of autoimmune gastritis was investigated in 54 women with postpartum thyroiditis. Parietal cell antibodies (PCA) specific against H+, K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.36) were found in 18 women during pregnancy; in 10 of them, a 2-9-fold increase in the PCA level was observed in the postpartum period. At a 5-year follow-up, the initially PCA-positive women still had elevated antibody levels. Hypergastrinemia and low pepsinogen levels were noted in 4 women. In 2 of these women low serum vitamin B12 levels had developed. In 6 of 9 PCA-positive women examined by gastroscopy, biopsy specimens from the gastric body mucosa contained mononuclear cells, mainly T lymphocytes (CD3+) and macrophages (Leu-M3+) combined with an aberrant epithelial expression of HLA-DR. In four patients with chronic gastritis, all parietal cells, as defined by a specific monoclonal antibody, were found to have immunoglobulin G (IgG) deposits by a double-immunostaining method. Three of them had microscopic evidence of atrophy, whereas in 1 patient the body mucosa was intact. In 1 further patient with intact glands at histological examination, the basolateral membrane of some oxyntic glands was coated with IgG. The selective in situ deposition of antibodies associated with histologically intact parietal cells may support the concept that specific autoantibodies participate in the early pathogenesis of parietal cell destruction.
