Diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is a prevalent functional bowel disorder. Abdominal pain, discomfort and altered intestinal habits are the salient features of IBS-D. Low grade inflammation and altered neurotransmitters are the 2 recently identified factors contributing to the pathogenesis of IBS-D, but their role and interactions has not been elucidated in detail. Here we investigate the potential role of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in regulating gut inflammation during IBS-D. Blood samples and colonic mucosal biopsies from clinically diagnosed IBS-D patients and controls were collected. Levels of GABA were measured in serum samples through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Expression of GABAergic system and proinflammatory cytokines were analyzed in biopsy samples by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Effect of GABA and its antagonist on the expression of proinflammatory cytokines in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated HT-29 cells was examined through RT-PCR. ELISA data revealed diminished level of GABA in IBS-D patients as compared to controls. RT-PCR analysis showed altered GABAergic signal system in IBS-D patients as compared to controls. GABA reduced the expression of proinflammatory cytokines in LPS stimulated HT-29 cells, whereas bicuculline methiodide (GABA antagonist) upregulated the expression of same cytokines in LPS stimulated HT-29 cells. Our sets of data indicate that diminished level of GABA and altered GABAergic signal system contributes to pathogenesis of IBS-D by regulating inflammatory processes. These results provide novel evidence for anti-inflammatory role of GABA in IBS-D patients by altering the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
