Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Tegaserod, a 5-HT4 partial agonist, was shown to reduce esophageal acid exposure in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease; however, its mechanism of action is poorly understood. Therefore, we have examined the effect of tegaserod on luminal bicarbonate and mucin secretion in the isolated perfused pig esophagus. We also studied its role in esophageal protection using SMG-bearing pig esophagus in comparison to the rabbit esophagus, which is devoid of them. The tissues were mounted in Ussing chambers, and acid injury was replicated by exposing the lumen to acid (pH 1.6) or acid/pepsin (pH 2.5). In pig esophagus, tegaserod increased bicarbonate secretion, but had no effect on basal mucin secretion. In Ussing chambers, tegaserod reduced injury to pig, but not rabbit esophagus exposed to acid (pH 2.5) plus pepsin. These results indicate that tegaserod stimulates SMG bicarbonate secretion, an effect that likely accounts for the observed protection against acid-pepsin injury to pig, but not rabbit, esophagus. |
