Effect of Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma Extracts on Mast Cells Protease Activated Receptor 2 and Substance P in Rat Models of Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Objective:To observe the effect of Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma extracts (Fag) on mast cell (MC)
protease activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) and substance P (SP) in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) rat models with visceral hypersensitivity. Method:IBS rat models were established through neonatal maternal separation
acetic acid enema and intraperitoneal injection with OVA. A total of 60 SD rats were randomly divided into normal group (normal saline)
model group (normal saline)
low
middle and high-dose Fag groups (0.14
0.42
1.26 g·kg-1) and ketotifen group (0.18 mg·kg-1). After oral gavage for 14 days
visceral hypersensitivity was assessed based on abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) score. The number and degranulation of mast cells were observed by immumohistochemical staining(IHC); PAR-2 was measured by Western blot; and SP was evaluated by enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay and IHC. Result:AWR score in model group was significantly higher than that of control group at the distension pressures of 20
40
60 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa); and the number and degranulation of mast cells
PAR-2 and SP expressions significantly increased. Middle-dose Fag group (at the distension pressures of 20
40
60 mmHg) and high-dose Fag group (at the distension pressures of 20
40 mmHg) could effectively reduce AWR scores. And the number and degranulation of mast cells
PAR-2 and SP expressions were lower than those of model group. Furthermore
at the distension pressure of 40 mmHg
high-dose Fag group could lower than ketotifen-treated group in terms of the AWR score. Conclusion:Fag could alleviate the visceral hypersensitivity in IBS rat models. Its mechanism was related with the inhibition of the number and degranulation of intestinal mucosal mast cells
the down-regulation of PAR-2 and the reduction of SP.
