[Functional analyses of gastric mucosa using mice deficient in both histamine H2 receptor and CCKB/gastrin receptor]
1Department of Gastroenterology, University of Tokyo.
Abstract:
Histamine H2 and cholecystokinin (CCK)-B/gastrin receptors are very important in both acid secretion and growth and differentiation of the gastric mucosa. Generations of mice deficient in each of these receptors have provided information on the structure and function of the gastric mucosa, respectively. To examine the gastric mucosa in further detail, we generated mice deficient in both receptors. This review discusses the roles of histamine H2 and CCK-B/gastrin receptors in gastric mucosa based on data from our double-null mice.

Pathophysiology of Peptic Ulcer Disease: Injurious Factors
In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
