Abstract

The cholinergic system plays a central role in regulating critical gastrointestinal functions, including motility, secretion, barrier and immune function. In rodent models of acute, non-infectious gastrointestinal injury, the cholinergic system functions to inhibit inflammation; however, during inflammation local expression and regulation of the cholinergic system is not well known, particularly during infectious enteritis. The objective of this study was to determine the intrinsic expression of the enteric cholinergic system in pig ileum following an acute challenge with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium DT104 (S. Typhimurium). At 2 d post-challenge, a three-fold reduction in ileal acetylcholine (ACh) levels was observed in challenged animals, compared with controls. Ileal acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was decreased (by four-fold) while choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) expression was increased in both the ileum and mesenteric lymph nodes. Elevated ChAT found to localize preferentially to mucosa overlying lymphoid follicles of the Peyers patch in challenged pigs, with more intense labeling for ChAT in S. Typhimurium challenged pigs compared to controls. Ileal mRNA gene expression of muscarinic receptor 1 and 3 was ...Continue Reading

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here
