Vagal Afferent

Secretin is an enterogastrone that inhibits gastric acid secretion and motility. Recently, it was reported that secretin inhibited gastric emptying via a capsaicin (Cap)-sensitive vagal afferent pathway. However, a possible role of the sensory afferent pathway in secretin-inhibited acid secretion has not been clarified. We investigated whether or not the acid secretion suppressed by secretin is modulated by a vagal and/or splanchnic afferent pathway in rats. Subdiaphragmatic perivagal (PV) or periceliac ganglionic (PCG) application of Cap (10 mg/ml) or vehicle was performed in both conscious and anesthetized rats 2 wk before experiments. Bilateral vagotomy was performed in some conscious rats 5 days before studies. Pentagastrin was administered intravenously at 0.6 μg ⋅ kg−1 ⋅ h−1. Secretin (20 pmol ⋅ kg−1 ⋅ h−1iv) or 0.03 N HCl (4.32 ml/h id) was infused in conscious rats with gastric cannulas or anesthetized rats with ligation of the pylorus, respectively. A rabbit antisecretin serum was injected in some anesthetized rats before duodenal acidification. Secretin significantly inhibited pentagastrin-stimulated acid secretion by 63% ( P < 0.01), which was abolished by both vagotomy and PV treatment of Cap in conscious rats. In anesthetized rats, duodenal infusion of 0.03 N HCl suppressed pentagastrin-induced acid secretion by 59.4% ( P < 0.01), which was reversed not only by antisecretin serum but also by PV application of Cap. However, PCG treatment with Cap did not influence the inhibition by secretin or duodenal acidification in either awake or anesthetized rats. These results indicate that the inhibition by secretin of pentagastrin-stimulated acid secretion is mediated by a Cap-sensitive vagal afferent pathway but not via a splanchnic afferent pathway in rats.

Cholecystokinin (CCK), acting at CCK1 receptors (CCK1Rs) on intestinal vagal afferent terminals, has been implicated in the control of gastrointestinal function and food intake. Using CCK1R−/− mice, we tested the hypothesis that lipid-induced activation of the vagal afferent pathway and intestinal feedback of gastric function is CCK1R dependent. In anesthetized CCK1R+/+ (“wild type”) mice, meal-stimulated gastric acid secretion was inhibited by intestinal lipid infusion; this was abolished in CCK1R−/− mice. Gastric emptying of whole egg, measured by nuclear scintigraphy in awake mice, was significantly faster in CCK1R−/− than CCK1R+/+ mice. Gastric emptying of chow was significantly slowed in response to administration of CCK-8 (22 pmol) in CCK1R+/+ but not CCK1R−/− mice. Activation of the vagal afferent pathway was measured by immunohistochemical localization of Fos protein in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS; a region where vagal afferents terminate). CCK-8 (22 pmol ip) increased neuronal Fos expression in the NTS of fasted CCK1R+/+ mice; CCK-induced Fos expression was reduced by 97% in CCK1R−/− compared with CCK1R+/+ mice. Intralipid (0.2 ml of 20% Intralipid and 0.04 g lipid), but not saline, gavage increased Fos expression in the NTS of fasted CCK1R+/+ mice; lipid-induced Fos expression was decreased by 47% in CCK1R−/− compared with CCK1R+/+mice. We conclude that intestinal lipid activates the vagal afferent pathway, decreases gastric acid secretion, and delays gastric emptying via a CCK1R-dependent mechanism. Thus, despite a relatively normal phenotype, intestinal feedback in response to lipid is severely impaired in these mice.

Intravenous infusions of fructose, a hexose that does not cross the blood-brain barrier, suppressed insulin-induced gastric acid secretion and electromyographic (EMG) activity despite continuing hypoglycemia. Hepatic portal vein infusions of 0.15 M fructose inhibited acid output while the same concentration delivered via the jugular vein did not, suggesting a hepatic site of action of the hexose. Only infusions of fructose that began before onset of the insulin-induced gastric responses were effective, whereas glucose infusions, which elevated plasma glucose levels, readily reversed ongoing gastric activity. The suppressive effects of fructose on gastric activity were prevented by prior section of the hepatic branch of the vagus nerve. In contrast, hepatic vagotomy did not prevent suppression of gastric responses by infusions of glucose, a hexose utilized by both brain and liver. These results suggest that receptors in the brain may initiate and terminate insulin-induced gastric acid secretion and motor activity, whereas sensors in the liver may inhibit these responses.

Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) has recently been shown to reduce the severity of experimental gastroduodenal damage and to inhibit acid secretion in the pylorus-ligated rat. In the present study, the effects of IL-1 beta on pentagastrin-stimulated acid secretion were compared with those of two other cytokines, namely IL-1 alpha and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha. Also, the effects of IL-1 beta on gastric acid secretion stimulated by bethanechol or histamine were assessed. Anesthetized rats were pretreated intravenously with one of the cytokines, at doses in the 0.1-5 micrograms/kg range, 30 min before starting an intravenous infusion of pentagastrin. TNF alpha failed to significantly affect acid secretion, whereas IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta exhibited significant inhibitory effects. For example, at a dose of 5 micrograms/kg, IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta reduced acid secretion by 33 and 80%, respectively. The inhibitory effects of IL-1 beta on acid secretion could be completely inhibited by preincubation with an antibody directed against IL-1 beta but not by pretreatment with indomethacin (5 mg/kg sc) or by bilateral vagotomy. If acid secretion was stimulated by intravenous infusions of histamine or bethanechol, neither IL-1 beta nor TNF alpha produced significant inhibitory effects. Inhibition of acid secretion by IL-1 was also observed when the IL-1 was administered subsequent to stimulation by pentagastrin administration. These results demonstrate that IL-1 beta is an extremely potent inhibitor of acid secretion stimulated by pentagastrin but not that stimulated by histamine or bethanechol, through a mechanism that is at least in part independent of the vagus nerve and of prostaglandin synthesis. IL-1 alpha is less potent as an inhibitor of gastric acid secretion, whereas TNF appears to be inactive. Because pentagastrin-stimulated acid secretion could be completely inhibited by a histamine H2-receptor antagonist (cimetidine) and because IL-1 had no effect on histamine-stimulated acid secretion, it is possible that IL-1 exerts its antisecretory actions by inhibiting pentagastrin-stimulated histamine release.
