[Morphofunctional changes in the intestines of rabbits as affected by cholera vibrio toxins]. 1981

N K Pervukhina, and A M Golubev

Forty adult rabbits were inoculated with cholera vibrio toxins (endotoxin and enterotoxin) intravenously or into the operatively pre-isolated segments of the jejunum some of which remained intact. The examinations were carried out 3--5 hours after intravenous and 18--24 hours after intraintestinal inoculation of the toxins. Irrespective of the route of endotoxin inoculation, circulation disorders developed predominantly in the jejunum mucosa. Its content did not change in volume but the potassium ions concentration increased. Active hypersecretion in the epithelial cells of the jejunum mucosa was observed after inoculations of enterotoxin by both routes. It was followed by both quantitative and qualitative changes of its contents: increased concentration of potassium, sodium, chlorine ions and bicarbonates only in the ileum. Histopathological lesions in ;the jejunum mucosa were absent after inoculation of cholera vibrio toxins by both routes.

D002772 Cholera Toxin An ENTEROTOXIN from VIBRIO CHOLERAE. It consists of two major protomers, the heavy (H) or A subunit and the B protomer which consists of 5 light (L) or B subunits. The catalytic A subunit is proteolytically cleaved into fragments A1 and A2. The A1 fragment is a MONO(ADP-RIBOSE) TRANSFERASE. The B protomer binds cholera toxin to intestinal epithelial cells and facilitates the uptake of the A1 fragment. The A1 catalyzed transfer of ADP-RIBOSE to the alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G PROTEINS activates the production of CYCLIC AMP. Increased levels of cyclic AMP are thought to modulate release of fluid and electrolytes from intestinal crypt cells.
