Abstract
P-type ion pumps (P-type ATPases) are involved in various fundamental biological processes. For example, the gastric proton pump (H+,K+-ATPase) and sodium pump (Na+,K+-ATPase) are responsible for secretion of gastric acid and maintenance of cell membrane potential, respectively. In this review, we summarize three topics of our studies. The first topic is gastric H+,K+-ATPase associated with Cl--transporting proteins (Cl-/H+ exchanger ClC-5 and K+-Cl- cotransporter KCC4). In gastric parietal cells, we found that ClC-5 is predominantly expressed in intracellular tubulovesicles and that KCC4 is predominantly expressed in the apical membrane. Gastric acid (HCl) secretion may be accomplished by the two different complexes of H+,K+-ATPase and Cl--transporting protein. The second topic focuses on the Na+,K+-ATPase α1-isoform (α1NaK) associated with the volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC). In the cholesterol-enriched membrane microdomains of human cancer cells, we found that α1NaK has a receptor-like (non-pumping) function and that binding of low concentrations (nM level) of cardiac glycosides to α1NaK activates VRAC and exerts anti-cancer effects without affecting the pumping function of α1NaK. The third topic is the Na+,K+-ATPase α3-isoform (α3NaK) in human cancer cells. We found that α3NaK is abnormally expressed in the intracellular vesicles of attached cancer cells and that the plasma membrane translocation of α3NaK upon cell detachment contributes to the survival of metastatic cancer cells. Our results indicate that multiple functions of P-type ion pumps are generated by different membrane environments and their associated proteins.

Pharmacological Approach to Gastric Acid Suppression: Past, Present, and Future.
Herszényi, L, Bakucz, T, Barabás, L, Tulassay, Z
Digestive diseases (Basel, Switzerland). 2020;(2):104-111
Abstract
Less than 2 centuries have elapsed since the identification of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. The clarification of the molecular mechanisms allowed the effective therapeutic suppression of gastric acid secretion. The spectacular advances in the treatment of acid-related disorders represent a synthesis of the contributions of several brilliant pharmacologists, basic scientists, and clinical physicians. Effective gastric acid suppressive therapy has dramatically improved the therapy and outcome of acid-related disorders. The introduction of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in clinical practice has significantly changed the medical management of upper gastrointestinal disorders. PPIs represent the "gold-standard" therapy in acid-related disorders. However, some challenges persist in the therapy of acid related diseases, including management of patients who respond inadequately to PPI therapy, more effective gastroprotection, or more powerful antisecretory treatment for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection. New antisecretory drugs are currently being developed and investigated to further provide a more effective and profound gastric acid secretion inhibition. The major advance has been the development of acid pump -antagonists, the potassium channel acid blocking drugs (-P-CABs). Long-term studies comparing P-CABs with PPIs will help to define the exact place and safety profile of this class of drug in the management of acid-related disorders.

Consequences of Hypoacidity Induced by Proton Pump Inhibitors - a Practical Approach.
Rychlíčková, J
Klinicka onkologie : casopis Ceske a Slovenske onkologicke spolecnosti. 2018;(6):409-413
Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are often a part of drug regimens for many patients, including cancer patients. These drugs are very effective suppressors of gastric acid secretion; a significant increase in the gastric pH is seen with chronic use. This affects absorption of drugs, vitamins, and minerals. PURPOSE PPIs are associated with many adverse drug reactions; nevertheless, these adverse effects are often neglected in clinical practice. The main aim of this article is to emphasize some of the adverse effects and theoretical mechanisms underlying these adverse reactions, the expected length of therapy before their clinical manifestation, and potential ways of dealing with these adverse reactions. We will focus on hypergastrinemia and rebound hyper-acidity, which occur in patients on long-term therapy with high dose PPIs. Next, we will focus on osteoporosis and hypomagnesemia, adverse effects for which the assumed mechanism is decreased absorption of particular ions from the gastrointestinal tract. Furthermore, clinically significant pharmacokinetic drug interactions at the level of absorption will be analyzed. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are drugs with limited solubility; this solubility is pH-dependent. Some recommendations seek to ensure optimal absorption with minimal inter-day variability. Tables sum-marizing the optimal relationship between food and TKIs, and (sometimes) the optimal regimen of concomitant PPIs, are included. Key words: proton pump inhibitors - drug-related side effects and adverse reactions- drug interactions - tyrosine kinase inhibitors - hypochlorhydria The author declares she has no potential conflicts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study. The Editorial Board declares that the manuscript met the ICMJE recommendation for biomedical papers. Submitted: 24. 8. 2018 Accepted: 17. 10. 2018.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The discovery of Helicobacter pylori and other organisms colonizing the stomach and the intestines has shed some light on the importance of microbiome in maintaining overall health and developing pathological conditions when alterations in biodiversity are present. The gastric acidity plays a crucial role in filtering out bacteria and preventing development of enteric infections. In this article, we discuss the physiology of gastric acid secretion and bacterial contribution to the composition of gastric and intestinal barriers and review the current literature on the role of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in the microbial biodiversity of the gastrointestinal tract. RECENT FINDINGS Culture-independent techniques, such as 16S rRNA sequencing, have revolutionized our understanding of the microbial biodiversity in the gastrointestinal tract. Luminal and mucosa-associated microbial populations are not identical. Streptococcus is overrepresented in the biopsies of patients with antral gastritis and may also be responsible for the development of peptic ulcer disease. The use of PPIs favors relative streptococcal abundance irrespective of H. pylori status and may explain the persistence of dyspeptic symptoms in patients on PPI therapy. Increased risk of enteric infections has also been seen in patients taking PPIs. The overuse of PPIs leads to significant shift of the gastrointestinal microbiome towards a less healthy state. With the advent of PPIs, many studies have demonstrated the significant changes in the microbial composition of both gastric and intestinal microbiota. Although they are considered relatively safe over-the-counter medications, PPIs in many cases are over- and even inappropriately used. Future studies assessing the safety of PPIs and their role in the development of microbiome changes should be encouraged.

Gastric acid secretion.
Schubert, ML
Current opinion in gastroenterology. 2016;(6):452-460
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The present review summarizes the past year's literature, both clinical and basic science, regarding neuroendocrine and intracellular regulation of gastric acid secretion and proper use of antisecretory medications. RECENT FINDINGS Gastric acid kills microorganisms, modulates the gut microbiome, assists in digestion of protein, and facilitates absorption of iron, calcium, and vitamin B12. The main stimulants of acid secretion are gastrin, released from antral G cells; histamine, released from oxyntic enterochromaffin-like cells; and acetylcholine, released from antral and oxyntic intramural neurons. Other stimulants include ghrelin, motilin, and hydrogen sulfide. The main inhibitor of acid secretion is somatostatin, released from oxyntic and antral D cells. Glucagon-like peptide-1 also inhibits acid secretion. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) reduce acid secretion and, as a result, decrease somatostatin and thus stimulate gastrin secretion. Although considered well tolerated drugs, concerns have been raised this past year regarding associations between PPI use and kidney disease, dementia, and myocardial infarction; the quality of evidence, however, is very low. SUMMARY Our understanding of the physiology of gastric secretion and proper use of PPIs continues to advance. Such knowledge is crucial for improved management of acid-peptic disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malabsorption of fat and protein contributes to poor nutritional status in people with cystic fibrosis. Impaired pancreatic function may also result in increased gastric acidity, leading in turn to heartburn, peptic ulcers and the impairment of oral pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy. The administration of gastric acid-reducing agents has been used as an adjunct to pancreatic enzyme therapy to improve absorption of fat and gastro-intestinal symptoms in people with cystic fibrosis. It is important to establish the evidence regarding potential benefits of drugs that reduce gastric acidity in people with cystic fibrosis. This is an update of a previously published review. OBJECTIVES To assess the effect of drug therapies for reducing gastric acidity for: nutritional status; symptoms associated with increased gastric acidity; fat absorption; lung function; quality of life and survival; and to determine if any adverse effects are associated with their use. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Cystic Fibrosis and Genetic Disorders Group Trials Register which comprises references identified from comprehensive electronic database searches, handsearches of relevant journals, abstract books and conference proceedings.Most recent search of the Group's Trials Register: 12 May 2016. SELECTION CRITERIA All randomised and quasi-randomised trials involving agents that reduce gastric acidity compared to placebo or a comparator treatment. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Both authors independently selected trials, assessed trial quality and extracted data. MAIN RESULTS The searches identified 39 trials; 17 of these, with 273 participants, were suitable for inclusion, but the number of trials assessing each of the different agents was small. Seven trials were limited to children and four trials enrolled only adults. Meta-analysis was not performed, 14 trials were of a cross-over design and we did not have the appropriate information to conduct comprehensive meta-analyses. All the trials were run in single centres and duration ranged from five days to six months. The included trials were generally not reported adequately enough to allow judgements on risk of bias.However, one trial found that drug therapies that reduce gastric acidity improved gastro-intestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain; seven trials reported significant improvement in measures of fat malabsorption; and two trials reported no significant improvement in nutritional status. Only one trial reported measures of respiratory function and one trial reported an adverse effect with prostaglandin E2 analogue misoprostol. No trials have been identified assessing the effectiveness of these agents in improving quality of life, the complications of increased gastric acidity, or survival. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Trials have shown limited evidence that agents that reduce gastric acidity are associated with improvement in gastro-intestinal symptoms and fat absorption. Currently, there is insufficient evidence to indicate whether there is an improvement in nutritional status, lung function, quality of life, or survival. Furthermore, due to the unclear risks of bias in the included trials, we are unable to make firm conclusions based on the evidence reported therein. We therefore recommend that large, multicentre, randomised controlled clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate these interventions.

Functional anatomy and physiology of gastric secretion.
Schubert, ML
Current opinion in gastroenterology. 2015;(6):479-85
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review summarizes the past year's literature regarding the neuroendocrine and intracellular regulation of gastric acid secretion, discussing both basic and clinical aspects. RECENT FINDINGS Gastric acid facilitates the digestion of protein as well as the absorption of iron, calcium, vitamin B12, and certain medications. High acidity kills ingested microorganisms and limits bacterial overgrowth, enteric infection, and possibly spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. The main stimulants of acid secretion are gastrin, released from antral gastrin cells; histamine, released from oxyntic enterochromaffin-like cells; and acetylcholine, released from antral and oxyntic intramural neurons. Ghrelin and coffee also stimulate acid secretion whereas somatostatin, cholecystokinin, glucagon-like peptide-1, and atrial natriuretic peptide inhibit acid secretion. Although 95% of parietal cells are contained within the oxyntic mucosa (fundus and body), 50% of human antral glands contain parietal cells. Proton pump inhibitors are considered well tolerated drugs, but concerns have been raised regarding dysbiosis, atrophic gastritis, hypergastrinemia, hypomagnesemia, and enteritis/colitis. SUMMARY Our understanding of the functional anatomy and physiology of gastric secretion continues to advance. Such knowledge is crucial for improved management of acid-peptic disorders, prevention and management of neoplasia, and the development of novel medications.

[Relationship of acid-related diseases with lifestyle habit changes and environmental factors].
Furuta, K, Kinoshita, Y
Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine. 2015;(7):1086-92
Abstract
In association with significant alterations in lifestyle habits, such as more Westernized dietary habits, and environmental factors including improved hygiene, changes in gastric acid secretion and upper gastrointestinal motility have recently been noted in Japanese individuals. Formerly, peptic ulcers, especially those caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, was the major acid-related disease encountered in Japan. However, more recently, cases of NSAID--and aspirin-induced ulcers are increasing. In addition, gastroesophageal reflux disease causing heartburn associated with reflux of stomach contents, mainly consisting of gastric acid, and functional dyspepsia with upper gastrointestinal symptoms, such as indigestion and gastric pain, are more often seen in patients.

Gastric secretion.
Schubert, ML
Current opinion in gastroenterology. 2014;(6):578-82
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review summarizes the past year's literature regarding the neural, paracrine, hormonal, and intracellular regulation of gastric acid secretion. RECENT FINDINGS Gastric acid facilitates the digestion of protein as well as the absorption of iron, calcium, vitamin B12, and certain medications. High gastric acidity, in combination with pepsin and lipase, kills ingested microorganisms and may play a role in preventing bacterial overgrowth, enteric infection, and possibly spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, community-acquired pneumonia, and infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Stimulants of acid secretion include histamine, gastrin, acetylcholine, and ghrelin. Inhibitors include somatostatin, gastric inhibitory polypeptide, calcitonin gene-related peptide, and adrenomedullin. Helicobacter pylori stimulates or inhibits depending upon the time course of infection and the area of the stomach predominantly infected. Proteins implicated in H-K-ATPase membrane trafficking include myosin IIB, F-actin, ezrin, and Rab GTPases. SUMMARY Our understanding of the regulation of gastric acid secretion continues to advance. Such knowledge is crucial for the management of acid-peptic disorders and the development of novel medications, such as cholecystokinin-2 receptor antagonists.

Abstract
Acid-sensing pathways, which trigger mucosal defense mechanisms in response to luminal acid, involve the rapid afferent-mediated "capsaicin pathway" and the sustained "prostaglandin (PG) pathway." Luminal acid quickly increases protective PG synthesis and release from epithelia, although the mechanism by which luminal acid induces PG synthesis is still mostly unknown. Acid exposure augments purinergic ATP-P2Y signaling by inhibition of intestinal alkaline phosphatase activity. Since P2Y activation increases intracellular Ca2+, we further hypothesized that ATP-P2Y signals increase the generation of H2O2 derived from dual oxidase, a member of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase family activated by Ca2+. Our recent studies suggest that acid exposure increases H2O2 output, followed by phospholipase A2 and cyclooxygenase activation, increasing PG synthesis. Released prostaglandin E2 augments protective HCO3- and mucus secretion via EP4 receptor activation. Thus, the PG pathway as a component of duodenal acid sensing consists of acid-related intestinal alkaline phosphatase inhibition, ATP-P2Y signals, dual oxidase 2-derived H2O2 production, phospholipase A2 activation, prostaglandin E2 synthesis, and EP4 receptor activation. The PG pathway is also involved in luminal bacterial sensing in the duodenum via activation of pattern recognition receptors, including Toll-like receptors and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2. The presence of acute mucosal responses to luminal bacteria suggests that the duodenum is important for host defenses and may reduce bacterial loading to the hindgut using H2O2, complementing gastric acidity and anti-bacterial bile acids.
