AIM
To establish an ethanol-induced acute gastric mucosal lesions model in rats and to investigate the effect of c-met and c-Jun protein on healing of acute gastric mucosal lesions.
METHODS
Animal models of acute gastric mucosal lesions were established by intragastric instillation of 1 mL ethanol in the rats. On day 0, 4, 8, the rats were sacrificed respectively. Rats without any treatment served as control. The expressions of c-met and c-Jun were analyzed by immunohistochemical staining.
RESULTS
Gastric mucosal lesion indexes (LIs) were significantly lower after 4, and 8 days with acute gastric mucosal lesions (32±7, 18±3) than LI of acute gastric mucosal lesion model rats (75±11) (P<0.05). Immunohistochemical staining revealed higher positive staining of c-Jun after 8 days with acute gastric mucosal lesions (87.5%) than those of normal control rats (12.5%), and higher positive staining of c-met after 8 days with acute gastric mucosal lesions (62.5%) than those of normal control (0) and acute gastric mucosal lesions model rats (0) (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
The expression of c-met and c-Jun could accelerate the healing of acute gastric mucosal lesions, which is important for the healing of acute gastric mucosal lesions.
