SIRCAR, BITHI, LEONARD R. JOHNSON, AND LENARD M. LICHTENBERGER. Effect of synthetic diets on gastrointestinal mucosal DNA synthesis in rats. Am. J. Physiol. 244 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 7): G327-G335, 1983.-Isocaloric amounts of a variety of synthetic liquid and solid diets fed to rats over a lo-day period resulted in a significant two-to fourfold decrease in gastric and colonic mucosal DNA synthesis in comparison with chow-fed controls. In contrast, small intestinal proliferative activity was uninfluenced by these commercially available diets. This diet-induced decrease in mucosal DNA synthesis did not appear to be associated with variations in the protein or fat content of the food. Addition of ar-cellulose to these lowfiber diets induced a small but significant increase in colonic mucosal DNA synthesis after a lo-day feeding period. In subsequent experiments, it was determined that the maximal decrease in gastric and colonic DNA synthesis occurred after the animals ate synthetic diets for only 1 day. In addition, the acute burst in oxyntic and colonic mucosal DNA synthesis that normally occurs 12-16 h after the consumption of a chow meal was all but absent in rats eating synthetic diets. The absence of this acute growth response to feeding could not be attributed to the lower-than-normal content of either iron or fiber in these diets because supplementation of both factors to levels higher than those found in chow failed to increase mucosal DNA synthesis. The possible importance of the trophic hormone gastrin as a mediator of this diet-induced decrease in gastrointestinal mucosal DNA synthesis was considered because recent findings suggest that normal levels of blood gastrin are not maintained when rats are fed synthetic diets. oxyntic gland; colon; gastrinGASTROINTESTINAL CELL GROWTH is known to be extremely sensitive to dietary manipulation. Fasting causes general depression of mucosal growth in the small intestine, stomach, and colon (1, 2, 7, 11-13, 18, 24, 25). After refeeding, there is an increase in both mitotic activity and crypt cellularity in the small intestinal (2, 12, 13), gastric (13, 35), and colonic mucosa (11, 30, 31) of various animal species tested. Decreased cell production in the crypt during fasting appears to be related to prolongation of the cell cycle, which is most likely attributable to a delay in the G1 phase (11). Shortly after refeeding, a large percentage of cells of the gastrointestinal mucosa synchronously enter into the S phase of the cell cycle. The lag time between feeding and the peak rate of DNA synthesis varies from 16 to 24 h in the different mucosal regions of the gastrointestinal tract (1, 11, 13). It is presently unclear what mediates the food-stimulated DNA synthesis in the gastrointestinal tract. Several fac-
