Abstract
The enteric nervous system (ENS) continues to dazzle scientists with its ability to integrate signals, from the outside as well as from the host, to accurately regulate digestive functions. Composed of neurons and enteric glial cells, the ENS interplays with numerous neighboring cells through the reception and/or the production of several types of mediators. In particular, ENS can produce and release n-6 oxylipins. These lipid mediators, derived from arachidonic acid, play a major role in inflammatory and allergic processes, but can also regulate immune and nervous system functions. As such, the study of these n-6 oxylipins on the digestive functions, their cross talk with the ENS and their implication in pathophysiological processes is in full expansion and will be discussed in this review.

Abstract
Background Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is characterized by overt inflammation of the intestine and is typically accompanied by symptoms of bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping. The Colonic Migrating Motor Complex (CMMC) directs the movement of colonic luminal contents over long distances. The tri-nitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS) model of colitis causes inflammatory damage to enteric nerves, however it remains to be determined whether these changes translate to functional outcomes in CMMC activity. We aimed to visualize innate immune cell infiltration into the colon using two-photon laser scanning intra-vital microscopy, and to determine whether CMMC activity is altered in the tri-nitro benzene sulphonic (TNBS) model of colitis. Methods Epithelial barrier permeability was compared between TNBS treated and healthy control mice in-vitro and in-vivo. Innate immune activation was determined by ELISA, flow cytometry and by 2-photon intravital microscopy. The effects of TNBS treatment and IL-1β on CMMC function were determined using a specialized organ bath. Results TNBS colitis increased epithelial barrier permeability in-vitro and in-vivo. Colonic IL-1β concentrations, colonic and systemic CD11b+ cell infiltration, and the number of migrating CD11b+ cells on colonic blood vessels were all increased in TNBS treated mice relative to controls. CMMC frequency and amplitude were inhibited in the distal and mid colon of TNBS treated mice. CMMC activity was not altered by superfusion with IL-1β. Conclusions TNBS colitis damages the epithelial barrier and increases innate immune cell activation in the colon and systemically. Innate cell migration into the colon is readily identifiable by two-photon intra-vital microscopy. CMMC are inhibited by inflammation, but this is not due to direct effects of IL-1β.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infection and inflammatory diseases of the gut results in profound changes of intestinal motor function. Acute administration of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) was shown to have excitatory and neuromodulatory roles in the myenteric plexus. Here we aimed to study the effect of prolonged IL-1beta incubation on the response of myenteric neurones to different stimuli. METHODS Longitudinal muscle myenteric plexus preparations (LMMP's) of the guinea pig jejunum were incubated for 24 h in medium with or without IL-1beta. After loading with Fluo-4, calcium imaging was used to visualize activation of neurones. The response to application of serotonin (5-HT), substance P (SP) and ATP or to electrical fibre tract stimulation (eFTS) was tested. Expression of nNOS, HuD, calbindin and calretinin was compared by immunohistochemistry. KEY RESULTS IL-1beta concentration-dependently influenced the neuronal responsiveness and duration of the [Ca(2+)](i) rises to 5-HT and ATP, while it also affected the Ca(2+)-transient amplitudes induced by 5-HT, ATP and SP. Ca(2+)-transients in response to eFTS were observed in significantly more neurones per ganglion after IL-1beta (10(-10) and 10(-11) mol L(-1)). Peak [Ca(2+)](i) rise after eFTS was concentration-dependently decreased by IL-1beta. The duration of the [Ca(2+)](i) rise after eFTS was prolonged after IL-1beta 10(-12) mol L(-1). IL-1beta (10(-9) mol L(-1)) incubation did not affect the number of nNOS, calretinin and calbindin expressing neurones, nor did it induce neuronal loss (HuD). CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES In this study, IL-1beta differentially modulates the neuronal response to eFTS and neurotransmitter application in the myenteric plexus of guinea pigs. This cytokine could be implicated in the motility disturbances observed during gastrointestinal inflammation.

Abstract
Alterations caused by a genotype III strain of Toxoplasma gondii were assessed with respect to the number and the morphometry of the myenteric neurons in the terminal ileum and the descending colon. Eighteen rats were divided into four groups: Acute Control Group (ACG, n=4); Acute Experimental Group (AEG, n=4); Chronic Control Group (CCG, n=5) and Chronic Experimental Group (CEG, n=5). NaCl solution was administered through gavage to the animals in the ACG and CCG. Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites (10(4)) from a genotype III strain were orally administered to the AEG and CEG. Acute Groups were died after 24 hours, and the Chronic Groups after 30 days. Neuronal loss was not observed in both organs. The neurons atrophied in the terminal ileum as the opposite occurred with the neurons at the descending colon during the chronic phase of infection. In the terminal ileum, the neurons atrophied during the chronic phase of the infection as no alteration was found during the acute phase. For the descending colon, the neurons became hypertrophic during the chronic infection in opposition to the atrophy found during the acute phase.

Abstract
Persistent changes in gastrointestinal motility frequently accompany the resolution of colitis, through mechanisms that remain to be determined. Trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) colitis in the guinea pig decreases the rate of propulsive motility, causes hyperexcitability of AH neurons, and induces synaptic facilitation. The changes in motility and AH neurons are sensitive to cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibition. The aim of this investigation was to determine if the motility and neurophysiological changes persist following recovery from colitis. Evaluations of inflammation, colonic motility and intracellular electrophysiology of myenteric neurons 8 weeks after TNBS administration were performed and compared to matched control conditions. Myeloperoxidase levels in the colons were comparable to control levels 56 days after TNBS treatment. At this time point, the rate of colonic motility was decreased relative to controls following treatment with TNBS alone or TNBS plus a COX-2 inhibitor. Furthermore, the electrical properties of AH neurons and fast synaptic potentials in S neurons were significantly different from controls and comparable to those detected during active inflammation. Collectively, these data suggest that altered myenteric neurophysiology initiated during active colitis persists long term, and provide a potential mechanism underlying altered gut function in individuals during remission from inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
Complex circuits involving both local intrinsic neurones (i.e. enteric nervous system; ENS) and extrinsic neurones achieve nervous control of digestive functions. The ENS is comprised of many functionally different types of neurons: sensory neurons, interneurons and secreto-motor neurons. Each neuronal population is required to manifest local reflex behavior and is central to the regulation of both motor and secretory activities. It must be emphasized, however, that not only muscle and secretory cells but also other intestinal cells are targeted by enteric neurones, i.e. endocrine cells, interstitial cells of Cajal, immune cells, blood vessels and enteric glia. In addition to the ENS the gastrointestinal tract receives an extrinsic innervation by sympathetic, parasympathetic and sensory fibres. Neuronal projections from the intestine to prevertebral ganglia also exist. Taken together, the picture of a complex nervous regulation of digestive functions highly integrated with the central nervous system and the rest of the autonomic nervous system has emerged. The ENS is adaptive and plastic, but also vulnerable, system and ENS disturbances may be of pathogenic importance in functional bowel disease. In particular the interplay between the enteric neurones and the immune cells is suggested to be of crucial importance. The review discusses possible roles of the mediators vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and prostanoids in ENS plasticity in response to injury and inflammation.

Abstract
Fos expression was used to assess whether the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) activated specific, chemically coded neuronal populations in isolated preparations of guinea pig ileum and colon. Whether the effects of IL-1beta were mediated through a prostaglandin pathway and whether IL-1beta induced the expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 was also examined. Single- and double-labeling immunohistochemistry was used after treatment of isolated tissues with IL-1beta (0.1-10 ng/ml). IL-1beta induced Fos expression in enteric neurons and also in enteric glia in the ileum and colon. For enteric neurons, activation was concentration-dependent and sensitive to indomethacin, in both the myenteric and submucosal plexuses in both regions of the gut. The maximum proportion of activated neurons differed between the ileal (approximately 15%) and colonic (approximately 42%) myenteric and ileal (approximately 60%) and colonic (approximately 75%) submucosal plexuses. The majority of neurons activated in the myenteric plexus of the ileum expressed nitric oxide synthase (NOS) or enkephalin immunoreactivity. In the colon, activated myenteric neurons expressed NOS. In the submucosal plexus of both regions of the gut, the majority of activated neurons were vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) immunoreactive. After treatment with IL-1beta, COX-2 immunoreactivity was detected in the wall of the gut in both neurons and nonneuronal cells. In conclusion, we have found that the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1beta specifically activates certain neurochemically defined neural pathways and that these changes may lead to disturbances in motility observed in the inflamed bowel.

Abstract
The enteric nervous system is involved in most of the physiological and pathophysiological processes in the gastrointestinal tract. This Minireview is part two of three and describes the role of the enteric nervous system in gastrointestinal functions (motility, exocrine and endocrine secretions, blood flow, and immune processes) in health and some disease states. In this context, the functional importance of the enteric nervous system for food intake, the gall bladder, and pancreas will be addressed. In specific, dysmotility, diarrhoea, constipation, non-occlusive intestinal ischaemia (intestinal angina), inflammation, cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, postcholecystectomy syndrome, and pancreatitis can be treated with neuroactive pharmacological agents. For example, serotonin receptor type four agonists can be used for the treatment of constipation, while nitric oxide synthesis inhibitors can be employed for the treatment of intestinal angina.
