Moxibustion relieves abdominal hypersensitivity and diarrhea by regulating colonic 5-hydroxytryptamine signaling pathway in rats with diarrhea type irritable bowel syndrome
Objective To observe the effect of moxibustion on visceral pain
diarrhea
colonic 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) content
and expression of tryptophan hydroxylase 1(TPH1)
serotonin reup take transporter(SERT) and 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3(5-HT3 R) in colon tissue of rats with diarrhea irritable bowel syndrome(IBS-D)
so as to reveal its underlying mechanisms in treating IBS-D. Methods Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into blank control
model and moxibustion groups(n=10 rats in each group). The IBS-D model was established by chronic restraint combined with gavage of Senna leaf solution. Moxibustion was applied to bilateral "Tianshu"(ST25) and "Shangjuxu"(ST37) for 30 min
once a day for 7 days. After the treatment
the loose stool rate(number of loose stool/total number of feces granules X100%) and the minimum volume threshold of abdominal reflex(abdominal pain threshold) induced by rectal dilatation were observed. The content of colonic 5-HT was detected by using ELISA
and the expression of TPH1
SERT and 5-HT3 R mRNAs and proteins were detected by using quantitative real time-PCR and Western blot
respectively. Results Compared with the blank control group
the minimum volume threshold of abdominal retraction reflex and the relative expression of SERT protein and mRNA were significantly decreased(P<0.01)
and the loose stool rate
colonic 5-HT content
and relative expression of TPH1 and 5-HT3 R proteins and mRNAs were notably increased in the model group(P<0.01). After moxibustion
both the decrease of minimum volume threshold and SERT protein and mRNA expressions and the increase of loose stool rate
colonic 5-HT content and TPH1 and 5-HT3 R protein and mRNA expressions were reversed(P<0.01). Conclusion Moxibustion of ST25 and ST37 can relieve abdominal hypersensitivity and diarrhea in IBS-D model rats
which is related to its effects in down-regulating colonic 5-HT content and expression of TPH1 and 5-HT3 R proteins and mRNAs and in up-regulating expression of SERT protein and mRNA(regulating 5-HT/5-HT3 R signaling).
