Alterations of rat stomach endocrine cells under renovascular hypertension.
The aim of the present study was to perform immunohistochemical and ultrastructural analysis of gastrin-, synaptophysin (SY)- and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)-positive cells in the pylorus of "two kidney, one clip" (2K1C) renovascular hypertension model in rats.. In order to identify neuroendocrine (NE) cells, immunohistochemical reactions were performed with the use of specific antibodies against gastrin, SY and ANP. Gastric NE cells were also examined using an electron microscope.. The present study revealed a twofold increase in the number of gastrin- and SY-positive cells and a significant decrease in the number of ANP-immunoreactive (IR) cells in the pyloric mucosa of 2K1C rats. Test results obtained with an electron microscope confirmed a change in the activity of the stomach endocrine cells of hypertensive rats.. Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural investigations demonstrated the impact of renovascular hypertension on the neuroendocrine system in the rat stomach. The changes in the total number and ultrastructure of DNES cells proved their undeniable role in the modulation of gastric dysfunction, as a consequence of deregulation of homeostasis-maintaining systems.
