Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 agonists improve intestinal transit in a murine model of postoperative ileus
Open accessAbstract
Background: Stimulation of transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 ( TRPA 1), which abundantly expressed in enterochromaffin cells ( ECC ), has been reported to exert apparently contradictory results in in vitro contractility and in vivo gastrointestinal ( GI ) transit evaluations. The pharmaceutical‐grade Japanese traditional medicine daikenchuto ( TU ‐100) has been reported to be beneficial for postoperative ileus ( POI ) and accelerate GI transit in animals and humans. TU ‐100 was recently shown to increase intestinal blood flow via stimulation of TRPA 1 in the epithelial cells of the small intestine ( SI ). Methods: The effects of various TRPA 1 agonists on motility were examined in a manipulation‐induced murine POI model, in vitro culture of SI segments and an ECC model cell line, RIN ‐14B. Key Results: Orally administered TRPA 1 agonists, aryl isothiocyanate ( AITC ) and cinnamaldehyde ( CA ), TU ‐100 ingredients, [6]‐shogaol (6S) and γ ‐sanshool ( GS ), improved SI transit in a POI model. The effects of AITC , 6S and GS but not CA were abrogated in TRPA 1‐deficient mice. SI segments show periodic peristaltic motor activity whose periodicity disappeared in TRPA 1‐deficient mice. TU ‐100 augmented the motility. AITC , CA and 6S increased 5‐ HT release from isolated SI segments and the effects of all these compounds except for CA were lost in TRPA 1‐deficient mice. 6S and GS induced a release of 5‐ HT from RIN ‐14B cells in a dose‐ and TRPA 1‐dependent manner. Conclusions & Inferences: Intraluminal TRPA 1 stimulation is a potential therapeutic strategy for GI motility disorders. Further investigation is required to determine whether 5‐ HT and/or ECC are involved in the effect of TRPA 1 on motility.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
