The sequential-stress-treated group received maternal separation and acute gastric irritation early in life and restraint stress in adulthood; controls were reared undisturbed with their mothers. Rats in both groups were followed to adulthood(8 wk) at which point the anxietylike behaviors and visceromotor responses to gastric distention(20-100 mm Hg) and gastric emptying were tested. Meanwhile, alterations in several anxiety-related brain-stomach modulators including 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT), γ-aminobutyric acid(GABA), brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) and nesfatin-1 in the rat hippocampus, plasma and gastric fundus and the 5-HT1 A receptor(5-HT1 AR) in the hippocampal CA1 subfield and the mucosa of the gastric fundus were examined.RESULTS Sequential-stress-treated rats simultaneously demonstrated anxiety-like behaviors and GHS in dose-dependent manner compared with the control group. Although rats in both groups consumed similar amount of solid food, the rate of gastric emptying was lower in the sequentialstress-treated rats than in the control group. Sequential stress significantly decreased the levels of 5-HT(51.91 ± 1.88 vs 104.21 ± 2.88, P < 0.01), GABA(2.38 ± 0.16 vs 5.01 ± 0.13, P < 0.01) and BDNF(304.40 ± 10.16 vs 698.17 ± 27.91, P < 0.01) in the hippocampus but increased the content of nesfatin-1(1961.38 ± 56.89 vs 1007.50 ± 33.05, P < 0.01) in the same site; significantly decreased the levels of 5-HT(47.82 ± 2.29 vs 89.45 ± 2.61, P < 0.01) and BDNF(257.05 ± 12.89 vs 536.71 ± 20.73, P < 0.01) in the plasma but increased the content of nesfatin-1 in it(1391.75 ± 42.77 vs 737.88 ± 33.15, P < 0.01); significantly decreased the levels of 5-HT(41.15 ± 1.81 vs 89.17 ± 2.31, P < 0.01) and BDNF(226.49 ± 12.10 vs 551.36 ± 16.47, P < 0.01) in the gastric fundus but increased the content of nesfatin-1 in the same site(1534.75 ± 38.52 vs 819.63 ± 38.04, P < 0.01). The expressions of 5-HT1 AR in the hippocampal CA1 subfield and the mucosa of the gastric fundus were down-regulated measured by IHC(Optical Density value: Hippocampus 15253.50 ± 760.35 vs 21149.75 ± 834.13; gastric fundus 15865.25 ± 521.24 vs 23865.75 ± 1868.60; P < 0.05, respectively) and WB(0.38 ± 0.01 vs 0.57 ± 0.03, P < 0.01)(n = 8 in each group). CONCLUSION Sequential stress could induce a potential rat model of anxiety-like GHS of FD, which could be used to research the mechanisms of this intractable disease.展开更多
