Abstract

This paper aimed to investigate the relationship between up-regulation of L-type calcium channels and altered motility disorder in a rat model of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to neonatal maternal separation (NMS) from postnatal day 2-14 or normal handling (NH), and used when weighted 250-300 g. Colonic smooth muscle contractions was studied in an organ bath system. L-type Ca(2+) channel alpha(1c) subunit expression in smooth muscles from rat colon were studied by immunofluorescence and Western blotting analysis. The intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) of enzymatically isolated single colonic smooth muscle cell was studied with laser confocal fluorescent microscopy. The fecal pellets during 1 h water avoidance stress (WAS) were significantly increased; the amplitude of spontaneous contractions and contractions induced by Bay K 8644 (10 nM-1 microM), KCl (10-60 mM) and ACh (100 nM-10 microM) were significantly increased in NMS rats, when comparing with that of NH rats. [Ca(2+)]i induced by Bay K 8644 (1 microM), KCl (40 mM), and ACh (10 microM) significantly increased in muscle cells of NMS rats than NH rats. Further, alpha(1c) protein expression was significantly up-regula...Continue Reading
