Omeprazole treatment diminishes intra- and extracellular neutrophil reactive oxygen production and bactericidal activity*

Abstract: Our results imply that omeprazole impairs production of reactive oxygen intermediates by neutrophils. Whether specific impairments of neutrophil host defenses occur in vivo remains uncertain. Reduced bactericidal activity is associated with an increase of intracellular Ca2+ concentrations in resting neutrophils.

“…The humoral defense mechanism against bacterial colonization is mediated by the white blood cells. In vitro studies [43][44][45] have assessed the cytotoxicity of natural killer (NK) cells when exposed to target cells in varying ratios and in different solution media. Not surprisingly, as the ratio of NK cells to target cells increased, the percentage of target cells lysed increased, suggesting a positive correlation.…”

“…It is possible that in humans, if the conversion of C. difficile to the vegetative phase occurs while spores are still in the stomach their survival may be facilitated by elevated gastric pH levels. Alternatively other mechanisms, such as PPI-induced increased gastrin-mediated direct effect on colonic mucosa (9), effect on immune function (21) or effects on the organism's toxin production (5) may also be possible.…”

“…A pesar de esto, la espora de C. difficile es relativamente estable frente al ácido gástrico, por lo que la explicación fisiopatológica para la asociación entre el uso de supresores de ácido y la infección por C. difficile no es del todo clara. Como factores que también pueden predisponer a esta infección, se han postulado la alteración de la flora intestinal, el efecto directo del germen sobre la actividad de los leucocitos (29,30), y la disminución en la expresión de genes con importantes funciones en la integridad del colonocito y en la sensibilidad a la toxina (31). En un metaanálisis en el cual se incluyeron 288.620 pacientes, Janarthanan, et al (15), encontraron una asociación entre el uso de inhibidores de la bomba de protones y la infección por C. difficile, con un riesgo relativo de 1,65 (IC 95% 1,41-1,93).…”
