Backgrounds stress CRF DMV Stress induces colonic transit increasing, which is mediated by CRF through vagus.( Monnikes et Al, AJP G137-143, 1992) <serosa> <Ach> Colon activated Smooth Muscle <mucosa>
GI transit accelerated!! Background 2. Stress significantly increases gastorointestinal transit via the 5HT3-receptor (Miyata et al. JPET,1992 ) stress ? 5HT3 release with 5HT3-receptor GI transit accelerated!! However, the involvement of 5HT3-receptor is not well established in way of CRF-induced acceleration of colonic transit.
Background DMV <with 5HT3-receptor> 5HT3 3. 5HT3 released from EC cells increase colonic transit via 5HT3-receptor through vagus. (Fukumoto et al. AJP 284 R1269-1276, 2003) <sensory nerve> <with 5HT3-receptor> <5HT3 > However, there may be another pathway. <serosa> <Ach> Smooth Muscle <mucosa> ECcell

Methods 1st. Alosetron (dose:10-5 M×0.5cc) or saline intraluminal injection 2nd. CRF (dose:1μg/5μl ) intracerebraventricular injection 3rd. 51Cr intraluminal injection 4th. Sacrifice->measurement of transit Alosetron or Saline CRF 51Cr Sacrifice 10m 10m 90m
How to inject intraluminally Cannulation into the ascending colon
Methods 1st. Alosetron (dose:10-5 M×0.5cc) or saline intraluminal injection 2nd. CRF (dose:1μg/5μl ) intracistrnal injection 3rd. 51Cr intraluminal injection 4th. Sacrifice->measurement of transit Alosetron or Saline CRF 51Cr Sacrifice 10m 10m 90m
Results CRF significantly increased G.C.
Results A pathway via 5HT3-receptor through vagus exists.
Results Alosetron siginificantly inhibited G.C. increase
Conclusion Alosetron significantly inhibits the colonic transit which is activated by CRF I.C. ->sensory nerves with 5HT3-receptors mediate colonic response to CRF I.C. There might be a pathway to the vagus through sensory nerves with 5HT3-receptors!?
