AbstractAccumulating evidence indicates that capsaicin sensitive afferent fibers play a pivotal role not only in gastroprotection but also in ulcer healing. Denervation of capsaicin sensitive afferent fibers exerts an adverse action on these effects. However, whether such an action is mediated through a depression on epidermal growth factor (EGF) is underfined. In this study, the effects of denervation of sensory neurons with capsaicin (100 mg/kg, s.c.) on acetic acid-induced chronic gastric ulcers and their relationship with the EGF expression in salivary glands, serum and gastric mucosa were investigated. Capsaicin significantly increased ulcer size, decreased gastric mucosal cell proliferation at the ulcer margin, angiogenesis in the granulation tissue and also gastric mucus content. Ulcer induction by itself dramatically elevated EGF levels in salivary glands and serum on day 1 and 4, and also in the gastric mucosa on day 4. However, capsaicin completely abolished these effects. It is concluded that stimulation of EGF expression in salivary glands and serum may be one of the mechanisms by which capsaicin sensitive nerves contribute to the gastroprotective and ulcer healing actions in the stomach.
