AbstractEpidemiological studies have shown that cigarette smoking is associated with peptic ulceration. This study aims to investigate the mechanisms by which cigarette smoking delays ulcer healing in rats. Gastric ulcers were induced by applying acetic acid to the luminal surfaces in rats. Twenty-four hours later, rats were exposed to different concentrations of cigarette smoke (0, 2, or 4%) for a 1-h period once daily for 3 or 6 days. Cigarette smoke exposure delayed ulcer healing and decreased gastric blood flow and angiogenesis at the ulcer margin. These changes were accompanied by a significant reduction of constitutive nitric oxide synthase (cNOS) activity but not PGE2 production and vascular endothelial growth factor levels. Administration of L-arginine (10 mg/kg iv) completely reversed the adverse actions on ulcer healing, gastric blood flow, and angiogenesis in the mucosa at the ulcer margin but partially restored angiogenesis in granulation tissues. In conclusion, cigarette smoke exposure delays ulcer healing through depression of gastric blood flow and angiogenesis at the ulcer margin. Reduction of cNOS expression and activity is suggested to be involved in these ulcerogenic processes.
