Effect of Capsaicin on Chronic Atrophic Gastritis / 胃肠病学

ABSTRACT

Background:Chronic atrophic gastritis( CAG)is a common type of gastritis and is closely related to the pathogenesis of gastric carcinoma,however,the efficacy of its drug treatment is not clear. Aims:To study the therapeutic effect of capsaicin on CAG in rats. Methods:CAG rat model was established by intragastric administration of sodium deoxycholate, ethanol and ammonium hydroxide. Forty-four survival model rats were randomly divided into CAG model group and low, moderate,high dose capsaicin groups,rats in the latter 3 groups were intragastrically administrated with 1 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 , 10 mg·kg-1 · d-1 ,30 mg · kg-1 · d-1 capsaicin,respectively,for 28 days. The inflammation and degree of atrophy of gastric mucosa were observed by HE staining. Gastric mucosal levels of pepsinogen( PG)Ⅰ,PGⅡ were determined by ELISA. The protein expressions of IKKβ,NF-κB,XIAP were determined by Western blotting. Results:The differences in inflammation and degree of atrophy of gastric mucosa,levels of PGⅠ,PGⅡ,protein expressions of IKKβ,NF-κB,XIAP were statistically significant among model group,low,moderate,high dose capsaicin groups( P <0. 05 ). With the increasing of capsaicin dose,inflammation and degree of atrophy of gastric mucosa were improved in a dose-dependent manner(P<0. 05),protein expressions of IKKβ,NF-κB,XIAP were decreased. Conclusions:Capsaicin is effective for the treatment of CAG.
