| Research Abstract |
Serotonin (5-HT) is related to the regulation of gastrointestinal (GI) function as a neurotransmitter in enteric nervous system (ENS) and GI hormone, and the disorder of 5-HT metabolism is suggested to associate with several GI diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome. In this project, we evaluated the effect of 5-HT depletion on the secretion of organic anions into the small intestinal lumen, influencing their absorption behavior. Phenol red (PR), a model compound, was clarified to be predominantly transported from basal to apical sides in Caco-2 cells and rat small intestine. Furthermore, it was indicated that MRP2 and BCRP contributed to the secretory transport of PR and that the secretory transport of PR was significantly enhanced in 5-HT-depleted rats, which was responsible for the enhancement of MRP2 and BCRP functions, based on their enhanced expression in the brush border membrane of small intestinal epithelial cells of 5-HT-depleted rats.
