Abstract

Neonatal maternal deprivation induces colonic alterations in adult rats, such as hypersensitivity to distension or an increase in paracellular permeability, characteristics of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients. Recent studies described neuroimmune alterations in the colonic mucosa of IBS patients. Male Wistar rats were submitted to maternal deprivation for 3 h daily during postnatal days 2-14, and were sacrificed at 4 or 12 weeks of age. Control pups were left undisturbed with their dam. Colonic mast cell hyperplasia was observed at 4 and 12 weeks in maternally deprived rats, and was associated with an increase in protease content. Mucosal nerve fibre density assessed by protein gene product (PGP) 9.5 immunoreactivity was increased at 12 weeks but not at 4 weeks, while calcitonin gene-related protein (CGRP)-immunoreactive fibres remain constant. Synaptogenesis assessed by synaptophysin immunostaining was increased at 4 weeks but not at 12 weeks. The number of mast cells in close proximity to PGP 9.5- or CGRP-immunoreactive fibres was greater at both 4 and 12 weeks. Expression of neurokinin NK(1) receptors in the spinal cord was enhanced at 12 weeks. No significant change in total mast cell number, PGP 9.5 immunoreactivity...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
