Pantoprazole prevents to the indomethacin-induced gastric damage through depending on the induction of HO-1. (A) Mean index of indomethacin-induced gastric damages. (B) RT-PCR for HO-1 and ICAM-1 according to group. (C) EMSA for HIF-1α according to group. Indomethacin significantly increased HIF-1α-DNA binding, whereas pantoprazole significantly decreased HIF-1α-DNA binding in a dose-dependent manner.
