Acute gastric mucosal lesions (AGMLs) are an important cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. Herein, we demonstrate that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma), a member of a nuclear receptor family, functions as an endogenous anti-inflammatory pathway in a murine model of AGML induced by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Treatment with specific PPARgamma ligands such as BRL-49653, pioglitazone, or troglitazone was examined in a model of AGML induced by I/R. PPARgamma-deficient and wild-type mice were also examined for their response to I/R in stomach. Specific PPARgamma ligands exhibited dramatic and rapid protection against AGML formation associated with I/R in mice in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, the AGML induced by I/R in PPARgamma-deficient mice was more severe than that observed in wild-type mice. Administration of the PPARgamma ligand significantly inhibited the upregulation of TNF-alpha, ICAM-1, inducible nitric oxide synthase, apoptosis, and nitrotyrosine formation induced by I/R in the stomach. These data indicate that an endogenous pathway associated with PPARgamma plays an important role in the pathogenesis of I/R-associated injury in the stomach.
