Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The animal model of functional dyspepsia (FD) such as gastric motor dysfunction and chronic hypersensitivity has been reported, yet those models take a long time to be the onset of gastrointestinal dysfunction for the study of FD. We have shown the gastrointestinal pharmacological effects of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), a pungent ingredient of wasabi and a TRPA1 channel activator. It was found that 1) AITC impairs tight junction barrier in primary cultures of rat stomachs (Capsaicin-sensitive neural afferentation and the gastrointestinal tract: from bench to bedside 2014, DOI: 10.5772/57289), and 2) no gastric damage by AITC was observed in ex-vivo rat stomachs (Gastroenterology, 138 (5), S-721, 2010). Therefore, this study is to establish a rodent model of impaired gastric motility resulting from gastric low-grade inflammation by AITC, which is reliable produce to evaluate therapeutic agents of FD.
