Early life adversity (ELA) is a risk factor for the later-life onset of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); however, the mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we utilized a porcine model of ELA, early weaning stress (EWS), to investigate the influence of ELA on the development and function of the enteric nervous system (ENS). Female and castrated male (Male-C) piglets were weaned from their sow either at 15 d of age (EWS) or 28 d of age (late weaning control; LWC). At 60 d and 170 d of age, ileal mucosa-submucosa preparations were mounted in Ussing chambers and veratridine- and corticotropin releasing factor (CRF)-evoked short circuit current (Isc) responses were recorded as indices of secretomotor neuron function. Enteric neuron numbers and the expression of select neurotransmitters and their receptors were also measured. Compared with LWC pigs, female, but not Male-C EWS pigs exhibited heightened veratridine-induced Isc responses at 60 d and 170 d of age, that were blocked with tetrodotoxin (TTX) and atropine. Ileum from EWS pigs had higher numbers of enteric neurons that were choline acetyltransferase-positive (ChAT+). Markers of increased cholinergic signaling (increased acetylcholinesterase (AchE) and down-regulated mucosal muscarinic receptor 3 gene expression were also observed in EWS pigs. This study demonstrated that EWS in pigs induces lasting and sex-specific hypersensitivity of secretomotor neuron function and upregulation of the cholinergic ENS. These findings may represent a mechanistic link between ELA and lifelong susceptibility to GI diseases such as IBS.
