    Notes: Background : Barrier function in gastric epithelial cells is essential for the gastric defence mechanism against acid back-diffusion into the mucosal layer. Our previous study indicated that trans-epithelial resistance (TER) of rat gastric epithelial cells was rapidly increased when the cells were exposed to acid. This response to acid was diminished by indometacin.Aim : Evaluate the effects of a mucoprotective agent, rebamipide, on the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced increase of gastric epithelial permeability.Methods : Rat gastric epithelial cells were plated on tissue culture inserts. Cells were exposed to a NSAID (indometacin, 10−7 M). Trans-epithelial permeability was measured by TER and diffusion rate of 14C-mannitol. The effect of rebamipide was evaluated by measuring TER. Endogenous prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production in culture medium was also measured.Results : Indometacin gradually and significantly decreased TER and increased 14C-manitol permeability. Rebamipide reversed the indometacin-induced changes in epithelial permeability and induced PGE2 synthesis. This induction was blocked by either indometacin or a Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 specific inhibitor.Conclusions : COX inhibitors such as indometacin inhibit regulation of epithelial permeability by reducing PGE2. COX-1 has an important role in the gastric defense mechanism. Rebamipide suppressed an indometacin-induced increase in gastric epithelial permeability by increasing PGE2 levels in a COX-2 dependent manner.
