An Endogenous Tachykinergic NK2/NK3 Receptor Cascade System Controlling the Release of Serotonin from Colonic Mucosa

چکیده
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) released from colonic mucosal enterochromaffin (EC) cells is a major signaling molecule, which participates in the pathophysiological regulation of colonic functions in gut disorder including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but the endogenous modulator system for the 5-HT release is not yet well elucidated. Our in vitro studies in guinea-pig colon have indicated that the cascade pathway of neuronal tachykinergic NK3 receptors and NK2 receptors on peptide YY (PYY)-containing endocrine L cells represents an endogenous modulator system for 5-HT release from EC cells and that melatonin, endogenous tachykinins and PYY play important roles in modulation of the release of 5-HT from EC cells via the endogenous NK2/NK3 receptor cascade system. This review aims at examining the potential role of the endogenous tachykinergic NK2/NK3 receptor cascade system controlling the release of 5-HT from EC cells, with special attention being paid to the pathophysiology of gut disorders including IBS.

Distinct presynaptic control of dopamine release in striosomal- and matrix-enriched areas of the rat striatum by selective agonists of NK1, NK2 and NK3 tachykinin receptors.
Using a sensitive in vitro microperfusion method, the effects of selective and potent agonists of NK1, NK2, and NK3 tachykinin receptors ([Pro9]SP, ([Lys5,MeLeu9,Nle10]NKA-(4-10), and [Pro7]NKB, respectively) on the presynaptic control of dopamine release were investigated in striosomal-enriched (area rich in [3H]naloxone binding sites) and matrix-enriched areas of the rat striatum. Marked diff...
متن کاملNeurokinin A-induced vasoconstriction and muscular contraction in the rat isolated stomach: mediation by distinct and unusual neurokinin2 receptors.
This study examined the pharmacological identity of the tachykinin receptors which in the rat stomach mediate vasoconstriction and muscular contraction. The vasculature of the rat isolated stomach was perfused with oxygenated Krebs buffer containing 3% dextran. Vasoconstrictor responses were recorded as increases in the vascular perfusion pressure and gastric contractions were measured as incre...
متن کاملCanine intrinsic cardiac neurons involved in cardiac regulation possess NK1, NK2, and NK3 receptors.
To determine whether intrinsic cardiac neurons involved in cardiac regulation possess neurokinin (NK) receptor subtypes, we administered selective NK receptor agonists individually (100 μM; 0.1 ml) into the coronary arterial blood supply of right atrial intrinsic cardiac neurons of 18 anesthetized dogs. The selective NK1 receptor agonist [Sar9,Met(O2)11]-substance P depressed the spontaneous ac...
متن کاملProtein kinase C is involved in neurokinin receptor modulation of N- and L-type Ca2+ channels in DRG neurons of the adult rat.
Whole cell patch-clamp techniques were used to examine neurokinin receptor modulation of Ca2+ channels in small to medium size dorsal root ganglia neurons (<40 pF) that express mainly N- and L-type Ca2+ currents. Low concentrations of substance P enhanced Ca2+ currents (5-40%, <0.2 microM), while higher concentrations applied cumulatively reversed these enhancements (5-28% reductions, >0.5 micr...
متن کاملInvolvement of tachykinin receptors in sensitisation to cow's milk proteins in guinea pigs.
BACKGROUND There is growing evidence for a pivotal role for tachykinins in gut neuroimmune interactions. AIMS To determine whether NK1, NK2, and NK3 tachykinin receptors are involved in milk protein induced allergic sensitisation. METHODS Eight groups of 12 Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs (250-300 g) were used. Four groups were sensitised to milk proteins for three weeks. During this period, the...
