TRPA1 agonists delay gastric emptying in rats through serotonergic pathways

Abstract: Our recent study found that TRPA1 is highly expressed in enterochromaffin cells and that stimulation of these cells with TRPA1 agonists enhances 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) secretion in vitro. Here, to demonstrate the 5-HT-releasing effect of TRPA1 agonists in vivo, we examined the effect of TRPA1 agonists on gastric emptying in rats. The results showed that TRPA1 agonists dose-dependently delayed gastric emptying. Further, the effects of TRPA1 agonists on this delay were abolished in rats treated with a TRPA1 … Show more

“…Furthermore, a subtype of enteroendocrine cells has been shown to express abundant TRPA1 whose stimulation induces 5-HT release that can activate intrinsic nerves and vagal endings (39). These reports strongly suggest that TRPA1 may play a role in the regulation of gut motility as confirmed by several motility studies of experimental animals using TRPA1 ligands and gene-manipulation (11,12,26,42,43). More recently, considerable attention has been given to the presence of TRPA1 in IE cells.…”

“…TRPA1 was reported to be expressed in different mammalian tissues, including brain, intestine and pancreas (76, 77), human skin keratinocytes (78, 79), and vestibular and auditory sensory epithelia (78, 80). However, functional activity of TRPA1 channels is most consistently characterized in sensory neurons and other cells with sensory functions.…”

“…Dietary cinnamaldehyde has been shown to effect the function of the gastrointestinal tract including gut motility (78), gastric emptying (79), and cholecystokinin secretion. A recent finding investigated the effect of TRPA1 on ghrelin secretion (44).…”
