Objective: To explore if Hewei Jiangni granule (, HWJNG) could regulate esophageal hypersensitivity via stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1)/transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily member 1 (TRPV1) pathway.
Methods: Qualitative analysis of HWJNG was analysis by high performance of liquid and gas chromatography. , animal model of non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) was established by fructose intake and restraint stress. HWJNG and Omeprazole were administered by gavage to the drug intervention group. Reflux and visceral hypersensitivity were analyzed by pathological changes, PH value test, mechanical paw withdrawal threshold, thermal withdrawal latency and mast cells (MCs) degranulation. , substance P (SP)-induced P815 cells and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells were co-cultured. Expression in both mice and cells of STIM1, TRPV1, and esophageal visceral hypersensitivity-related gastrointestinal neurochemicals were validated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assays, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot. Moreover, overexpression and small interfering RNA against STIM1 were utilized to verify of the role of HWJNG in DRG cells.
Results: HWJNG significantly suppressed intercellular space widening, injury of mitochondrial, MCs degranulation, mechanical allodynia and heat neuropathic sensory and increased pH value of esophageal mucosa in NERD mice. HWJNG inhibited expression of visceral hypersensitivity-related gastrointestinal neurochemicals in esophageal mucosa and activated P815 cells, and expression of the STIM1, TRPV1 and related neurotransmitters in DRG and DRG cells. STIM1 siRNA and HWJNG both reduced P815 cells adhesion to DRGs cells and Ca flow into the cytoplasmic space of DRG cells. Furthermore, HWJNG could reversed STIM1 overexpression induced upregulation of TRPV1.
Conclusion: HWJNG suppressed intercellular space widening in NERD mice, stabilized MCs and restored neuronal hyperexcitability by regulating visceral hypersensitivity STIM1/TRPV1 pathway.

Postinfectious, diarrhea-predominant, irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS-D) is difficult to treat owing to its unknown pathophysiology. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human colon tissue and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), such as growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5), may play key roles in the pathophysiology of PI-IBS-D. To determine whether altered colonic EV lncRNA signaling leads to gastrointestinal dysfunction and heightened visceral nociception in patients with PI-IBS-D via the GAS5/miR-23ab/NMDA NR2B axis, we conducted translational studies, including those on (a) the role of colonic EV lncRNAs in patients with PI-IBS-D, human colonoids, and PI-IBS-D tissues; (b) i.

Objective: To compare three common stimuli that induce emotional stress to identify the optimal method for establishing an animal model that aligns with the clinical pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and to explore the gut microbiota mechanisms underlying IBS development.
Methods: Thirty-six SPF-grade female Kunming mice were randomly divided into four groups: the normal control (NC) group, the restraint stress (BM) group, the tail clamp stress (CTM) group, and the restraint combined with tail clamp stress (BCTM) group, with 9 mice in each group. The NC group was fed normally without any stimulation.

Objective: Rats with visceral hypersensitivity often exhibit impaired decision-making abilities. Functional heartburn (FH) is a functional esophageal disease that belongs to the category of gut-brain interaction disorders, associated with visceral hypersensitivity. However, the decision-making ability of patients with FH remains unclear.

Background: Mast cell activation is an important driver of abdominal pain in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). While evidence supports the role of IgE-mediated mast cell activation in visceral pain development in IBS, the role of pseudoallergic MRGPRX2-mediated mast cell activation in this process remains unknown.
Objective: We investigated whether MRGPRX2-mediated mast cell activation plays a role in abdominal pain development in patients with IBS.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a multifactorial disorder of the gut-brain axis, characterized by visceral hypersensitivity (VH). Psychobiotics, through GABA synthesis, are good candidates to alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort. Here, we analyzed the GABA-producer Lactococcus lactis CNCM I-5388 as an active-enzyme postbiotic to relieve VH mediated by psychological stress.
