Effect of Aging on Activity of H+-K+-ATPase in Gastric Fundal Mucosa / 胃肠病学

ABSTRACT

Background:It has been demonstrated that H + -K + -ATPase expression in human parietal cells had a tendency to increase with aging. However,the effect of aging on activity of H + -K + -ATPase is still unclear. Aims:To investigate effect of aging on activity of H + -K + -ATPase. Methods:Fifteen male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were divided into 4,21,24, 27 and 30 months group,and 19 healthy beagle dogs were divided into younger group,junior elderly group and senior elderly group. The activity of H + -K + -ATPase in gastric fundal mucosa was assessed. Results:The activity of H + -K + -ATPase in gastric fundal mucosa in 4,21,24,27 and 30 months old rats were(4. 850 ± 0. 312)μmol·mg - 1 ·h - 1 , (5. 466 ± 0. 379)μmol·mg - 1 ·h - 1 ,(6. 068 ± 0. 228)μmol·mg - 1 ·h - 1 ,(5. 733 ± 0. 767)μmol·mg - 1 ·h - 1 and (6. 223 ± 0. 428)μmol · mg - 1 · h - 1 ,respectively. With aging,H + -K + -ATPase activity in rats had a tendency to increase(F = 4. 519,P = 0. 031). The activity of H + -K + -ATPase in beagle dogs in younger group,junior elderly group and senior elderly group were(11. 087 ± 4. 320)μmol·mg - 1 ·h - 1 ,(8. 549 ± 3. 250)μmol·mg - 1 ·h - 1 ,(12. 071 ± 2. 820)μmol·mg - 1 ·h - 1 ,respectively. There was no statistically significant difference among the three groups(F =1. 339,P = 0. 290). Conclusions:With aging,the activity of H + -K + -ATPase in rats and beagle dogs does not decline, but even has a tendency to increase.
