Corticotropin releasing factor-Distribution in rat intestine and role in neuroprotection
(2011) In Regulatory Peptides 166(1-3). p.68-75- Abstract
- Aims of the present stud were to describe the distribution of corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) immunoreactivity in rat small and large intestines, to quantify the percentage of CRF-immunoreactive (CRF-IR) enteric neurons, to reveal possible CRF immunoreactivity in cultured myenteric neurons from rat ileum and to examine if additions of CRF, urocortin 1 (Ucn1), CRF antagonist or vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) affect neuronal survival in vitro. Co-localization of CRF- and VIP-immunoreactivity was examined, as well as a possible interplay between CRF and VIP in neuroprotection. Further we wanted to elucidate if mast cells affect neuronal survival via CRF signaling. Networks of CRF-containing nerve cell bodies and fibers were detected... (More)

Co-localization of CRF- and VIP-immunoreactivity was examined, as well as a possible interplay between CRF and VIP in neuroprotection. Further we wanted to elucidate if mast cells affect neuronal survival via CRF signaling. Networks of CRF-containing nerve cell bodies and fibers were detected in rat intestine. CRF-IR neurons contained to a high degree also VIP. A low number of cultured myenteric neurons was CRF-IR. CRF, Ucn1 or CRF-antagonist did not promote neuronal survival of cultured myenteric neurons, while VIP significantly enhanced neuronal survival. Simultaneous presence of CRF attenuated the VIP mediated increase in neuronal survival. Co-culturing neurons and mast cells resulted in a marked reduction in neuronal survival, not executed via CRF signaling pathways. Conclusion: CRF is present in enteric neurons and counteracts the neuroprotective effect of VIP in vitro. (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. (Less)
