Abstract

Substance P (SP) regulates important intestinal functions, such as mucosal permeability, motility, chloride secretion, and inflammation via the neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R). Previous reports showed that vascularization and expression of angiogenic factors are evident in the colonic mucosa of rats with colitis and patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Here we determined whether SP is associated with angiogenesis. Human NCM460 colonocytes stably transfected with the human NK-1R (NCM460-NK-1R cells) and mice with dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis were used. We found that expression of the angiogenic factor CCN1 was increased in the colons of patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Mucosal extracts from inflammatory bowel disease patients induced human intestinal microvascular endothelial cell migration that was inhibited by blockade of CCN1 and its receptor integrin alphavbeta3. Both the degree of angiogenesis and CCN1 expression were elevated in the colons of mice with dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis, which was reduced by treatment with the NK-1R antagonist CJ-12255. SP also increased CCN1 expression in NCM460-NK-1R colonocytes. SP exposure to human intestinal microvascular endothelial cells co-cultured with NCM460-NK-1R cells induced angiogenic activity that was inhibited by CCN1 silencing. In addition, intracolonic overexpression of CCN1 induced angiogenesis in mouse colon. Thus, SP mediates angiogenesis via CCN1 during colitis.

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.
