TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify and characterize a peripheral mechanism that underlies food-induced abdominal pain, thereby creating new possibilities for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome and related abdominal pain disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of resolvins on sensitisation of TRPV1 and visceral hypersensitivity in IBS.
Eluisa Perna,Javier Aguilera-Lizarraga,Morgane Florens,Piyush Jain,Stavroula Theofanous,Nikita Hanning,Joris G. De Man,Maya Berg,Benedicte Y. De Winter,Yeranddy A. Alpizar,Karel Talavera,Pieter Vanden Berghe,Mira M. Wouters,Guy E. Boeckxstaens +13 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that RvD2 and GPR18 agonists may represent interesting novel compounds to be further evaluated as treatment for IBS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of genetic background and postinfectious stress on visceral sensitivity in Citrobacter rodentium-infected mice.
Stephanie Mondelaers,Stavroula Theofanous,Morgane Florens,Eluisa Perna,Javier Aguilera-Lizarraga,Guy E. Boeckxstaens,Mira M. Wouters +6 more
TL;DR: The effect of Citrobacter rodentium infection on visceral sensitivity in Th1‐ Predominant C57BL/6 and Th2‐predominant Balb/c mice is studied to hypothesize that immunogenetic predisposition is an important risk factor for PI‐IBS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ephrin‐B2 signaling in the spinal cord as a player in post‐inflammatory and stress‐induced visceral hypersensitivity
Stavroula Theofanous,Morgane Florens,Iris Appeltans,Alexandre Denadai Souza,John N. Wood,Mira M. Wouters,Guy E. Boeckxstaens +6 more
TL;DR: The spinal ephrin‐B2/EphB pathway in VHS is evaluated in 2 murine models of VHS, that is, postinflammatory TNBS colitis and maternal separation (MS).
Journal ArticleDOI
245 Evidence for a New Mechanism Underlying Persistent Visceral Hypersensitivity and Increased Permeability in a Model of Post-Infectious IBS
Javier Aguilera-Lizarraga,Stephanie Mondelaers,Morgane Florens,Dafne Balemans,Stavroula Theofanous,Eluisa Perna,Mira M. Wouters,Guy E. Boeckxstaens +7 more
TL;DR: HPA axis response was dysregulated in IBS and was associated with downregulation of the GR mediated negative feedback system, which may play a role in the female predominance of IBS.
