The purpose of this study was to examine whether luminal polyamines can substitute for tissue polyamines in the healing process of gastric mucosal stress ulcers. Rats were fasted 22 h, placed in restraint cages, and immersed in water to the xiphoid process for 6 h. Animals were killed either immediately or at 4, 12, or 24 h after the period of stress. Stress significantly increased ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and tissue polyamine content. Mucosal polyamine levels peaked 4 h after stress and remained significantly elevated for 12 h. The healing process, which was significant by 12 h, was inhibited by DL-alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), a specific inhibitor of ODC. DFMO totally prevented the marked increases in ODC and polyamine levels that usually followed stress. Oral administration of polyamines, putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine, or spermine, immediately after stress increased the normal rate of healing and prevented the inhibition of repair caused by DFMO. Spermidine or spermine accelerated healing better than putrescine or cadaverine. The delayed recovery of mucosal DNA, RNA, and protein content after stress in the DFMO-treated rats was also significantly prevented by exogenous polyamines. The reduced amounts of gastric mucosal spermidine and spermine in rats treated with DFMO returned toward control levels after administration of exogenous spermidine (100 mg/kg). These results show that 1) increased levels of polyamines provided by ODC are absolutely required for normal healing of gastric mucosal stress ulcers, 2) the polyamines are active from the luminal side, and 3) polyamines accelerate healing at least partly through a mechanism involving cell renewal.
