| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) induced the reduction of TER in HT-29/B6 monolayers which was attenuated by acetylcholine or charbacol treatment. This attenuation was cancelled by the addition of atropine. TNF-induced activation of NF-kB system was inhibited by acetylcholine or charbacol treatment. This inhibition was also suppressed by the addition of atropine. TNF induced increase in the expression of inflammatory genes such as COX-2 and IL-8 genes and the excretion of IL-8 in the culture medium which were attenuated by charbacol treatment. This attenuation was also cancelled by the addition of atropine.
These results suggest that muscarinic signaling system may enforce intestinal epithelial barrier function against inflammatory barrier disruption and may prevent inflammatory expansion at the same time.
