- 感染症
背景:
- *Vibrio cholerae*によって引き起こされるコレラは,コレラ毒素 (CT) による重度の分泌性下痢を引き起こします.
- 既存の治療法は不十分で,CTの効果と戦うための新しいアプローチが必要である.
- CTは腸内皮質細胞を破壊し,過度の塩化イオン流出と流体損失を引き起こします.
研究 の 目的:
- コレラ治療の強化のための新しいグリカン改変細胞ナノスポンジを開発し評価する.
- ナノスポンジがCTを中和し 排泄性下痢を緩和する効果を調べるため
- CT中和とイオンチャネル阻害を組み合わせるシナージ的治療の可能性を探求する.
主な方法:
- グライカン受容体で機能した腸内皮質細胞膜カモフラージュされたナノスポンジの発達.
- ナノスポンジ内のシスティック線維症トランスメブラン伝導性調節器 (CFTR) チャンネルを標的とする阻害剤の封じ込め.
- CT誘発性分泌性下痢のマウスモデルにおけるナノ医薬品の経口投与
主要な成果:
- グライカンで改造されたナノスポンジは,宿主細胞への侵入を競争的に阻害することで,コレラ毒素を効果的に中和しました.
- 封じ込めされた阻害剤は,CFTRによって媒介される過剰な塩化イオン流出をシネジスティックに阻害した.
- ナノ医薬品の経口投与は,マウスにおけるCT誘発の分泌性下痢と腸内損傷を有意に改善した.
結論:
- グリカンで改造された細胞ナノスポンジは,コレラ毒素による分泌性下痢を治療するための有望なバイオミメティックナノ医薬品です.
- このアプローチは,直接の毒素中和とイオン輸送の調節という二重行動戦略を提供します.
- 開発されたナノ医薬品は,エクソトキシン誘発性分泌性下痢疾患に対する広範囲の治療薬としての可能性を示しています.

Drugs Affecting GI Tract Motility: Serotonin Receptor Agonists
1.3K
Serotonin, a crucial neurotransmitter synthesized by enterochromaffin cells, plays a cardinal role in regulating gastrointestinal (GI) motility. With over 90% of the body's total serotonin in the GI tract, its influence on digestive processes is profound. Serotonin is swiftly released upon various stimuli, such as food boluses or certain drugs, triggering intrinsic sensory neurons in the myenteric plexus and extrinsic vagal and spinal sensory neurons. This leads to the activation of the...

Diarrhea, a condition marked by frequent loose or watery bowel movements, can be triggered by multiple factors such as viral or bacterial infections, food intolerances, anxiety, medications, and digestive disorders. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and cramping. Severe or prolonged diarrhea can lead to complications like electrolyte imbalances, malnutrition, and dehydration if left untreated.

Diarrhea is characterized by the occurrence of frequent, watery bowel movements. Various factors can trigger diarrhea, including viral or bacterial infections, foodborne illnesses, side effects from certain medications, and underlying digestive disorders. If not adequately managed, diarrhea can lead to complications such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies. Severe diarrhea can lead to significant weight loss, malnutrition, and weakened immune function.

Drugs for Treatment of Diarrhea-Predominant IBS
905
Diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is a subtype of IBS characterized primarily by frequent, loose, or watery stools, abdominal pain, and abdominal discomfort. Therapeutic approaches to managing IBS-D include dietary changes, stress management techniques, and pharmaceutical interventions.
Two specific drugs used in the treatment are alosetron (Lotronex) and eluxadoline (Viberzi). Alosetron, a 5-HT3 antagonist, works by slowing the movement of stools in the gut, reducing bowel...

Pharmacological therapies for IBS-C are designed to alleviate abdominal discomfort and enhance bowel function. In patients with IBS-C, fiber supplements may help soften stools and decrease straining, but may also lead to increased gas production and bloating. Osmotic laxatives like milk of magnesia are frequently used to soften stools and increase stool frequency in IBS-C patients. In addition, two drugs approved for use in severe IBS-C adult cases are linaclotide (Linzess) and lubiprostone...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists
768
Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors are distributed across the GI tract, vagal afferents, and key CNS regions including the central vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) Chemotherapy agents stimulate enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to release large amounts of substance P (SP). SP is a neuropeptide released by specific sensory nerves in response to many different stressors, including those in the GI mucosa affected by chemotherapy. SP binds and activates...
