We recently reported that nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drug ( NSAID)- induced gastric lesions involve NSAID- induced apoptosis of gastric mucosal cells, which in turn involves the endoplasmic reticulum stress response, in particular the up- regulation of CCAAT/ enhancerbinding protein homologous transcription factor ( CHOP). In this study, we have examined the molecular mechanism governing this NSAID- induced apoptosis in primary cultures of gastric mucosal cells. Various NSAIDs showed membrane permeabilization activity that correlated with their apoptosis- inducing activity. Various NSAIDs, particularly celecoxib, also increased intracellular Ca2+ levels. This increase was accompanied by K+ efflux from cells and was virtually absent when extracellular Ca2+ had been depleted. These data indicate that the increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels that is observed in the presence of NSAIDs is due to the stimulation of Ca2+ influx across the cytoplasmic membrane, which results from their membrane permeabilization activity. An intracellular Ca2+ chelator partially inhibited celecoxib- induced release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, reduced the magnitude of the celecoxib- induced decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibited celecoxib- induced apoptotic cell death. It is therefore likely that an increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels is involved in celecoxib- induced mitochondrial dysfunction and the resulting apoptosis. An inhibitor of calpain, a Ca2+ dependent cysteine protease, partially suppressed mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in the presence of celecoxib. Celecoxib- dependent CHOP- induction was partially inhibited by the intracellular Ca2+ chelator but not by the calpain inhibitor. These results suggest that Ca2+- stimulated calpain activity and CHOP expression play important roles in celecoxib- induced apoptosis in gastric mucosal cells.
