To elucidate a functional transformation of gastric parietal cells, we have newly developed an isolated rat gastric mucosa model whose parietal cells exhibited a reverting process from the active to resting state of acid secretion. Immunohistochemistry of H^+/K^+-ATPase demonstrated a progressive translocation of H^+/K^+-ATPase from the apical to the cytoplasmic region. In the reverting process, the apical membranes were internalized into the cytoplasm forming unique penta-laminar membranes which were labeled for autophagosome-marker LC3. This finding suggested an association of autophagy with the reverting process in the gastric parietal cell.
