Effect of Proton Pump Inhibitor Therapy on NOX5, mPGES1 and iNOS expression in Barrett's Esophagus.

ABSTRACT: Acid reflux may contribute to the progression from Barrett's esophagus (BE) to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA). However, it is not clear whether the molecular changes present in BE patients are reversible after proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment. In this study we examined whether PPI treatment affects NOX5, microsomal prostaglandin E synthase (mPGES)-1 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression. We found that NADPH oxidase 5 (NOX5), mPGES-1 and iNOS were significantly increased in BE mucosa. One-month PPI treatment significantly decreased NOX5, mPGES1 and iNOS. In BAR-T cells, NOX5 mRNA and p16 promoter methylation increased after pulsed acid treatment in a time-dependent manner. Four or eight-week-acid induced increase in NOX5 mRNA, NOX5 protein and p16 methylation may be rev
