The gastric
H+/K+-ATPase is essential for normal
development of parietal cells. Here we have directly assessed the role
of the H+/K+-ATPase
-subunit (H/K-
) on
epithelial cell development by detailed quantitation of the epithelial
cell types of the gastric mucosa of H/K-
-deficient mice.
H/K-
-deficient mice had a 3.1-fold increase in the number of
immature cells per gastric unit; however, the numbers of surface mucous
and parietal cells were similar to those in the gastric units of
wild-type mice. The effect of elevated gastrin levels in the
H/K-
-deficient mice was determined by producing mice that are also
deficient in gastrin. We demonstrated that the increased production of
immature cells and resulting hypertrophy is caused by the
overproduction of gastrin. However, the depletion of zymogenic cells,
which is another feature of H/K-
-deficient mice, is independent of
hypergastrinemia. Significantly, parietal cells of H/K-
- and
gastrin-deficient mice had abnormal secretory membranes and were devoid
of resting tubulovesicular membranes. Together these data suggest a
homeostatic mechanism limiting the number of immature cells that can
develop into end-stage epithelial cells and indicate a direct role for
H/K-
in the development of mature parietal cells.
