Abstract

We assessed the influence of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin on gastric epithelial restoration in vitro. Rabbit gastric epithelial cells were cultured and formed a complete monolayer cell sheet in 2 days. We created a wound (1.8 +/- 0.05 mm2) by denuding an area of cells, and EGF (0.1-30 ng/ml) and/or insulin (1 nM-1 microM) was added. The restoration process, which included cell migration and proliferation, was monitored by measuring the cell-free area every 12 h for 2 days. Proliferating cells were detected by sequential staining with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU). Control cells showed complete repair in 36-48 h and restoration was accelerated dose-dependently by EGF or insulin. EGF plus insulin further accelerated restoration, which was then completed in 12-24 h. EGF and/or insulin increased the number of BrdU- positive cells. The results indicated that EGF and insulin additively accelerated gastric epithelial wound repair by stimulating both the migration and the proliferation of gastric epithelial cells (particularly the former).
