AIM: Prostaglandins (PGs) and leukotrienes (LTs) are major factors involved in the defense of the gastric mucosa against ulcer formation. However, little is still known about the gastromucosa-protecting action of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine H<SUB>2</SUB> receptor antagonists (H<SUB>2</SUB> blockers) in patients with gastric ulcer. We therefore examined the effectiveness of a PPI in protecting the gastric mucosa.<BR>METHODS: We compared the PGE<SUB>2</SUB> and LTB<SUB>4</SUB> levels and the expression levels of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2 mRNA in the gastric mucosa in gastric ulcer patients between the group treated for 8 weeks with a PPI, rabeprazole (PPI group; n=5), and the group treated for 8 weeks with an H<SUB>2</SUB> blocker, ranitidine (H<SUB>2</SUB> blocker group; n=6), as well as in nonulcer subjects (control group; n=5).<BR>RESULTS: The mucosal levels of PGE<SUB>2</SUB> and COX-2 mRNA expression were significantly lower in the ulcer patients than those in the nonulcer patients, whereas the LTB<SUB>4</SUB> level was significantly higher in the ulcer patients than that in the nonulcer patients, and it was also significantly lower in the ulcerated mucosa than that in the nonulcerated mucosa. The PPI group had a significantly increased PGE<SUB>2</SUB> and decreased LTB<SUB>4</SUB> levels in comparison to the H<SUB>2</SUB> blocker group during the ulcer-healing stage. The COX-1 mRNA expression showed no difference among the PPI and H<SUB>2</SUB> blocker groups or between before and after the treatment. However, the COX-2 mRNA expression increased in the PPI group more than that in the H<SUB>2</SUB> blocker group during the ulcer-healing stage.<BR>CONCLUSION: These findings demonstrated the significant gastric-mucosa-protecting effect of PPI by increasing the PGE<SUB>2</SUB> production and reducing the LTB<SUB>4</SUB> production.
