Colonic dysmotility associated with high‐fat diet‐induced obesity: Role of enteric glia

Abstract: The present study was designed to examine the role of enteric glial cells (EGCs) in colonic neuromuscular dysfunctions in a mouse model of high‐fat diet (HFD)‐induced obesity. C57BL/6J mice were fed with HFD or standard diet (SD) for 1, 2, or 8 weeks. Colonic interleukin (IL)‐1β, IL‐6, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were measured. Expression of occludin in colonic tissues was examined by western blot. Substance P (SP), S100β, GFAP, and phosphorylated mitogen‐activated protein kinase 1 (pERK) were assessed in… Show more

“…Increasing evidence points to an active involvement of EGCs in controlling several homeostatic gut functions, including mucosal sensation, secretion, motility, and immune responses, as well as a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of enteric motor dysfunctions associated with inflammatory conditions [9,35]. In line with this view, our previous study highlighted the contribution of enteric glia in the onset of colonic motor alterations associated with HFD-induced obesity, through an increase in tachykininergic activity and release of pro-inflammatory mediators (i.e., IL-1β) [9].…”

“…Electrically evoked contractions were recorded from colonic preparations maintained in Krebs solution containing 100 µM L-NAME, 10 µM guanethidine, 1 µM atropine, 1 µM GR159897, 1 µM SB218795, and 1 µM BAY60-6583 or 10 nM MRS1754, either in the absence or presence of 50 µM FC. Concentrations were selected in accordance with previous studies [9,21].…”
