Helicobacter pylori and proinflammatory cytokines have a direct stimulatory effect on gastrin release from isolated G cells, but little is known about the mechanism by which these factors regulate gastrin gene expression. We explored whether tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-1 directly regulate gastrin gene expression and, if so, by what mechanism. TNF-alpha and IL-1 significantly increased gastrin mRNA in canine G cells to 181 ± 18% and 187 ± 28% of control, respectively, after 24 h of treatment. TNF-alpha and IL-1 stimulated gastrin promoter activity to a maximal level of 285 ± 12% and 415 ± 26% of control. PD-98059 (a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor), SB-202190 (a p38 kinase inhibitor), and GF-109203 (a protein kinase C inhibitor) inhibited the stimulatory action of both cytokines on the gastrin promoter. In conclusion, both cytokines can directly regulate gastrin gene expression via a mitogen-activated protein kinase- and protein kinase C-dependent mechanism. These data suggest that TNF-alpha and IL-1 may play a direct role in Helicobacter pylori-induced hypergastrinemia.
