The effect of potential mediators of mucus secretion was investigated in the isolated vascularly perfused rat colon by using a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for rat colonic mucin and by histochemical analysis. Bethanechol (100-200 µM), bombesin (100 nM), and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, 100 nM) provoked a dramatic mucin discharge (maximal response at 900, 900, and 600% of control loops, respectively). VIP-stimulated mucin secretion was abolished by tetrodotoxin, whereas atropine was without effect. In contrast, both tetrodotoxin and atropine significantly decreased mucin release induced by bombesin. Isoproterenol or calcitonin gene-related peptide was without effect. Serotonin (1-5 µM) and peptide YY (10 nM) evoked mucin discharge, whereas glucagon-like peptide-1 did not release mucin. Finally, bromolasalocid (20 µM), interleukin-1beta (0.25 nM), sodium nitroprusside (1 mM), and dimethyl-PGE2 (2.5 µM) induced mucus discharge. The results demonstrated a good correlation between the immunological method and histological analysis. In conclusion, these findings suggest a role for the enteric nervous system, the enteroendocrine cells, and resident immune cells in mediation of colonic mucus release.
