Peripheral CRF-R1/CRF-R2 antagonist, astressin C, induces a long-lasting blockade of acute stress-related visceral pain in male and female rats. Peptides 2022; 157:170881. [PMID: 36185037 PMCID: PMC10389693 DOI: 10.1016/j.peptides.2022.170881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Peptide CRF antagonists injected peripherally alleviate stress-induced visceral hypersensitivity (SIVH) to colorectal distension (CRD) in rodents. Here we further evaluated the dose and time-dependent inhibitory activity of several long-acting peptide CRF receptor antagonists related to astressin on SIVH, focusing on astressin C (AstC), which previously showed high efficacy on stress-related alterations of HPA axis and gut secretomotor functions. Male and female Sprague-Dawley rats pretreated subcutaneously (SC) with AstC were injected intraperitoneally (IP) with CRF 15 min later. The visceromotor responses (VMR) to graded phasic CRD (10, 20, 40 and 60 mmHg) were monitored at basal, 15 min and up to 1-8 days after pretreatment. Two other astressin analogs, hexanoyl-astressin D (Hex-AstD) and [CαMeVal19,32]-AstC, were also tested. The response to IP CRF was sex-dependent with female rats requiring a higher dose to exhibit visceral hyperalgesia. Pretreatment with AstC (30-1000 µg/kg) resulted in a dose-related inhibition of IP CRF-induced SIVH and diarrhea in both sexes. The highest dose prevented SIVH and diarrhea up to 5-7 days after a single SC injection and was lost on day 7 (females) and day 8 (males) but reinstated after a second injection of AstC on day 8 or 9 respectively. [CαMeVal19,32]-AstC and Hex-AstD (1000 µg/kg in males) also prevented SIVH. These data show the potent long-lasting anti-hyperalgesic effect of AstC in an acute model of SIVH in both male and female rats. This highlights the potential of long-acting peripheral CRF antagonists to treat stress-sensitive irritable bowel syndrome.

Abstract
CRF system is comprised of 4 homologous lineages, 2 main receptors (CRF-R1 and CRF-R2), and a binding protein CRF-BP. The homologous lineages are corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), urotensin I (UI)/sauvagine (SVG)/urocortin 1 (UCN1), urocortin 2 (UCN2), and urocortin 3 (UCN3), and UI, SVG, UCN1 are orthologous genes. CRF system genes are widely distributed in the brain and gastrointestinal tract, which may relate to feeding regulation. According the research progress about CRF system on mammals and non-mammals, this paper summarized the discovery, structure, tissue distribution, appetite regulation and mechanism of CRF system in animals, which can provide the reference for further research and production of feeding regulation and growth in mammals and fish species.

Yakabi S, Wang L, Karasawa H, Yuan PQ, Koike K, Yakabi K, Taché Y. VIP is involved in peripheral CRF-induced stimulation of propulsive colonic motor function and diarrhea in male rats. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 2018; 314:G610-G622. [PMID: 29420068 PMCID: PMC6008061 DOI: 10.1152/ajpgi.00308.2017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2017] [Revised: 01/31/2018] [Accepted: 02/06/2018] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
We investigated whether vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and/or prostaglandins contribute to peripheral corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)-induced CRF1 receptor-mediated stimulation of colonic motor function and diarrhea in rats. The VIP antagonist, [4Cl-D-Phe6, Leu17]VIP injected intraperitoneally completely prevented CRF (10 µg/kg ip)-induced fecal output and diarrhea occurring within the first hour after injection, whereas pretreatment with the prostaglandins synthesis inhibitor, indomethacin, had no effect. In submucosal plexus neurons, CRF induced significant c-Fos expression most prominently in the terminal ileum compared with duodenum and jejunum, whereas no c-Fos was observed in the proximal colon. c-Fos expression in ileal submucosa was colocalized in 93.4% of VIP-positive neurons and 31.1% of non-VIP-labeled neurons. CRF1 receptor immunoreactivity was found on the VIP neurons. In myenteric neurons, CRF induced only a few c-Fos-positive neurons in the ileum and a robust expression in the proximal colon (17.5 ± 2.4 vs. 0.4 ± 0.3 cells/ganglion in vehicle). The VIP antagonist prevented intraperitoneal CRF-induced c-Fos induction in the ileal submucosal plexus and proximal colon myenteric plexus. At 60 min after injection, CRF decreased VIP levels in the terminal ileum compared with saline (0.8 ± 0.3 vs. 2.5 ± 0.7 ng/g), whereas VIP mRNA level detected by qPCR was not changed. These data indicate that intraperitoneal CRF activates intestinal submucosal VIP neurons most prominently in the ileum and myenteric neurons in the colon. It also implicates VIP signaling as part of underlying mechanisms driving the acute colonic secretomotor response to a peripheral injection of CRF, whereas prostaglandins do not play a role. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) in the gut plays a physiological role in the stimulation of lower gut secretomotor function induced by stress. We showed that vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-immunoreactive neurons in the ileal submucosal plexus expressed CRF1 receptor and were prominently activated by CRF, unlike colonic submucosal neurons. VIP antagonist abrogated CRF-induced ileal submucosal and colonic myenteric activation along with functional responses (defecation and diarrhea). These data point to VIP signaling in ileum and colon as downstream effectors of CRF.
