AimsIncreased colonic paracellular permeability (CPP) is a key feature of gastro-intestinal disorders as irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel diseases. Stress stimulates exocrine pancreatic secretion through cholinergic pathways, and trypsin is known to increase CPP. Consequently we have investigated in this work whether trypsin released into the gut lumen following an acute stress may participate to the short-term increase in CPP.Main methodsMice were treated with atropine or a non-selective CRF (corticotropin-releasing factor) receptor antagonist (α-helical CRF (9–41)), before being submitted to a 2-h stress session. Then, CPP and protease activity in colonic contents (total proteolytic, trypsin activity, and mouse mast cell protease (MMCP)-1 levels) were determined. The effects of colonic contents from sham-stressed or stressed animals on CPP were evaluated in mice colonic tissues mounted in Ussing chambers, in presence or not of soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI) or FSLLRY, a protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) antagonist.Key findingsAcute stress significantly increased CPP, proteolytic and trypsin activities, and MMCP-1 levels. Atropine inhibited stress-induced impairment of CPP and strongly diminished total proteolytic and trypsin activities in stressed animals, but not MMCP-1 levels. Colonic contents from stressed animals increased CPP in mice tissues, this effect being inhibited by SBTI and PAR2 antagonist.SignificanceAcute stress activates cholinergic pathways, to trigger exocrine pancreatic secretion. Trypsin, released in these conditions, may be responsible for colonic barrier alterations through the activation of PAR2.
