• Aspirin

Aspirin exerts side effects within the gastrointestinal tract. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon monoxide (CO) have been implicated in gastroprotection but the mechanism of beneficial action of these gaseous mediators against aspirin-induced damage has not been fully studied. We determined the involvement of afferent sensory neurons, calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP), lipid peroxidation, and nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis in gastroprotection of H2S-releasing NaHS and CO-releasing tricarbonyldichlororuthenium(II) dimer (CORM-2) against aspirin-induced injury.
Wistar rats with or without capsaicin-induced denervation of sensory neurons were pretreated with vehicle, CORM-2 (5 mg/kg intragastrically), or NaHS (5 mg/kg intragastrically) with or without capsazepine (5 mg/kg intragastrically) or N (G)-nitro-l-arginine (l-NNA, 20 mg/kg intraperitoneally). The areas of aspirin-induced lesions and gastric blood flow (GBF) were assessed by planimetry and laser flowmetry respectively. Gastric mucosal messenger RNA and/or protein expression of CGRP, heme oxygenase 1, inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase 2, interleukin-1 beta, glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx-1), and superoxide dismutase was determined by real-time PCR or Western blot. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) content was determined by colorimetric assay.
Aspirin caused gastric lesions, decreased GBF, and raised MDA content, but pretreatment with NaHS and CORM-2 reduced these effects. Capsaicin-induced denervation or co-treatment with capsazepine reversed the gastroprotective and vasodilatory effects of NaHS but not those of CORM-2. l-NNA reversed NaHS-induced gastroprotection and partly reduced CORM-2-induced gastroprotection. NaHS and CORM-2 decreased MDA and 4-HNE content, restoring GPx-1 protein expression.
We conclude that H2S- but not CO-mediated gastroprotection against aspirin-induced injury involves afferent sensory nerves and partly NO activity. NaHS and CORM-2 prevented aspirin-induced gastric mucosal lipid peroxidation via restoration of microcirculation and antioxidative GPx-1 protein expression.
