摘要
As an important enteric neurotransmitter, the role of dopamine as a mitotic inhibitor as well as a protective factor of epithelial cells of stomach and colon indicates its significance in malignant growth of gastrointestinal tract. Our previous results have shown significant alteration of dopamine receptors in human malignant stomach tissues. The present experiments, therefore, evaluate DA content, its receptor expression, and its second-messenger cAMP in human malignant colon tissues to evaluate its role. Results demonstrate a significant decrease of dopamine content, its receptor expression, and its second-messenger cAMP in malignant tissues of human colon. These results may provide insight into the role of dopamine as an enteric neurotransmitter on malignant growth of human colon and may also suggest a therapeutic approach targeting dopamine receptors and its signal transduction.
