Core Tip |
Treatment of diarrhea remains a global challenge. Enterotoxins induce diarrhea through direct epithelial action and indirectly by activating the enteric nervous system. Using in vitro models in isolated tissues, we have previously shown that calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) inhibits both actions. In the present study, we use a mouse model of secretory diarrhea in conjunction with a tissue-specific knockout approach and demonstrate that calcium or calcimimetic via CaSR ameliorates cholera toxin-induced secretory diarrhea in vivo. This study suggests that adding calcium to oral rehydration solution or using calcimimetic to activate intestinal CaSR might represent a new approach for treating secretory diarrheal diseases. |
