摘要：The aim of the present study is to investigate the role and potential mechanisms of peripheral serotonin in postoperative intra-abdominal adhesion formation in mice. The caecum-rubbing operations were conducted for intra-abdominal adhesion formation modelling in wild-type and Tph1-/- mice. The deficiency of serotonin significantly decreased the adhesion scores, weight loss, and adhesion thickness as well as levels of collagen fibres and hydroxyproline in the adhesive tissues. The Tph1-/- mice exhibited a milder inflammatory response and oxidative stress in the adhesive tissues than did the wild-type mice. Moreover, the deficiency of serotonin reduced the levels of PAI-1 and fibrinogen, and raised the t-PA and t-PA/PAI levels in the peritoneal fluids. Moreover, the expressions of CD34, VEGF, TGF-β and 5-HT2B receptor in the adhesive tissues were significantly decreased in the Tph1-/- group mice. Furthermore, the Tph1-/- +5-HTP group showed more severe adhesions than did the Tph1-/- group mice, and the p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA) could markedly alleviated the adhesion formation in the WT mice. In conclusion, the present study showed that peripheral serotonin regulated postoperative intra-abdominal adhesion formation by facilitating inflammation, oxidative stress, disorder of the fibrinolytic system, angiopoiesis and TGF-β1 expression via the 5-HT2B receptor in the adhesive tissues.
