Abstract
Our previous studies have demonstrated that lansoprazole inhibits acute inflammatory reactions as well as intestinal mucosal injuries induced by ischemia-reperfusion or indomethacin administration in rats. Thus, proton pump inhibitors such as lansoprazole have been demonstrated to prevent gastrointestinal mucosal injury by mechanisms independent of acid inhibition. In our in vitro study, lansoprazole induced the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) on rat gastric epithelial cells (RGM-1 cells), and exerted anti-inflammatory effect on the dependent of HO-1 expression. Furthermore, NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) played an important role in HO-1 expression induced by lansoprazole. In this review, we focused on lansoprazole-induced HO-1 expression, its anti-inflammatory action, and the role of Nrf2 in its expression.
