Abstract

Background

Renin-angiotensin system is involved in the pathophysiology of colonic inflammation. However, there are a few reports about modulation of natriuretic peptide system.

Aims

This study investigates whether a local atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) system exists in rat colon and whether ANP plays a role in the regulation of colonic motility in experimental colitis rat model.

Methods

Experimental colitis was induced by an intake of 5 % dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) dissolved in tap water for 7 days. After rats were killed, plasma hormone concentrations and mRNAs for natriuretic peptide system were measured. Functional analysis of colonic motility in response to ANP was performed using taenia coli.

Results

DSS-treated colon showed an increased necrosis with massive infiltration of inflammatory cells. The colonic natriuretic peptide receptor-A mRNA level and particulate guanylyl cyclase activity in response to ANP from colonic tissue membranes were higher, and the mRNA levels of ANP and natriuretic peptide receptor-B were lower in DSS-treated rats than in control rats. ANP decreased the frequency of basal motility in a dose-dependent manner but did not change the amplitude. The inhibitory responses of frequency of basal motility to ANP and 8-bromo-cGMP were enhanced in DSS-treated rat colon.

Conclusion

In conclusion, augmentation of inhibitory effect on basal motility by ANP in experimental colitis may be due an increased expression of colonic natriuretic peptide receptor-A mRNA. These data suggest that local natriuretic peptide system is partly involved in the pathophysiology of experimental colitis.
