Influence of 5-hydroxytryptamine on crypt cell production rate of human duodenal mucosa cultured in vitro.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on the crypt cell production rate in normal human duodenal mucosa cultured in vitro was studied using a stathmokinetic technique with crypt microdissection. The addition of 5-HT (2 mg/ml) to the culture medium significantly increased the crypt cell production rate (p less than 0.001), suggesting that this amine may have a trophic effect on crypt cells in vitro. Increased synthesis and release of 5-HT from enterochromaffin cells in patients with coeliac disease may increase the crypt cell production rate and lead to a flattened small intestinal mucosa.

متن کاملTrophic action of epidermal growth factor on human duodenal mucosa cultured in vitro.
The action of epidermal growth factor on the human duodenal mucosa has been studied by estimating the crypt cell production rate in cultured explants, using a stathmokinetic technique with crypt microdissection. The addition of epidermal growth factor (400 ng/ml) to paired explants from five patients caused an almost fivefold increase in the crypt cell production rate, showing that epidermal gr...

BACKGROUND Experimental evidence suggests that hormones may regulate small intestinal adaptation after surgical resection. AIMS To characterise the effect of recombinant human growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and insulin on crypt epithelial cell proliferation in the human duodenal mucosa cultured in vitro.

متن کاملGrowth of crypt cell nodules in duodenal mucosa in man during organ culture in vitro.
Culture of peroral biopsy specimens from duodenal mucosa in vitro for 22 hours using a basic culture medium resulted in the formation of crypt cell nodules. The addition of collagen and serotonin to the culture medium increased the occurrence of the nodules and, invariably, their size. The nodules were situated on the pericryptal basement membrane and contained cells that resembled columnar cel...
متن کاملHistomorphometrical evaluation of the gastrointestinal mucosa following chronic administration of Ghrelin in rat
Ghrelin, a peptide hormone, has several functions, of which the best known is its growth hormone (GH)-releasing effect in the pituitary. It also increases appetite and feeding behavior. Recent studies have implicated ghrelin in the regulation of gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and immune function, and suggest a role for ghrelin in bone physiology. In this study, the effect of chronically admi...
