Abstract
Linaclotide, a guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) agonist, reduces abdominal pain and improves constipation in patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation(IBS-C). We have shown in mice that both chronic oral and intra-colonic administration of linaclotide inhibits colonic nociception with greater efficacy during chronic visceral hyper-sensitivity (CVH) relative to healthy controls. Here we determined the effects of chronic intra-colonic linaclotide administration on glial cells within the dorsal root ganglia (DRG)and spinal cord. This is important as glial cell activation is implicated in the initiation of acute pain and the maintenance of chronic pain.
