Ileal mucosal growth during intraluminal infusion of ethylamine or putrescine

Abstract: Either ethylamine or the diamine putrescine was infused at the rate of 1 mumol/h for 66 h into the ileal lumen of rats. Total mucosal RNA, DNA, and protein content was greater in amine-treated rats than in rats receiving 0.9% NaCl. Growth was greatest in the mucosa surrounding the tip of the infusion catheter but was also observed 9 cm proximal and distal to the catheter tip. Infusion of these amines induced the activity of the enzymes ornithine and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase. Ornithine decarboxylase a… Show more

“…In control rats, an effect of DFMO on the small intestine has been reported in weaning but not adult rats (Alarcon et al, 1987). Administration of putrescine in vivo (Seidel et al, 1985) and in vitro (Ginty et al, 1989) increase intestinal epithelial cell proliferation. Similarly when endogenous putrescine concentrations are increased by using aminoguanidine to block diamine oxidase, enhanced ileal proliferation after MSBR results (Erdman et al, 1989).…”

“…As with other physiological stimuli and mucosal growth factors [6][7][8], the PHA-induced small intestinal growth in vivo also coincided with increased poly amine concentrations [3], Moreover, on PHA stimulation, the growth was actually…”

“…Similar effects can be demonstrated in whole animals. Increasing extracellular putrescine levels in vivo, by providing an exogenous source of putrescine or by increasing the con centration of endogenous putrescine, in duces proliferation of the ileal mucosa of the rat [1,2].…”

“…Three sets of experiments lend support to the latter of these two possibilities. First, the direct infu sion of putrescine into the lumen of the rat ileum induces mucosal growth [1], Second, increasing ileal putrescine content by inhibi tion of diamine oxidase, the enzyme respon sible for the removal of putrescine from the polyamine biosynthetic pathway, also stimu lates growth of the ileal mucosa [2]. The results of these experiments indicate that putrescine is indeed able to induce growth of the gastrointestinal mucosa in vivo.…”
