BACKGROUND: Peritoneal adhesion formation is a well-recognized consequence of abdominal and pelvic surgery, causing infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and intestinal obstruction. We hypothesized that ghrelin, a 28-amino acid peptide predominantly found in the stomach, plays an important role in preventing postoperative surgical adhesions. The purpose of this study was to develop a new surgical peritoneal adhesion model to define the role that ghrelin plays in wound healing and adhesion formation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: C57BL/6 wild-type mice (n = 40) and growth hormone secretagogue receptor-knockout (GHSR KO) mice (n = 20) underwent a midline laparotomy to establish a peritoneal adhesion model characterized by the combination of two different techniques: ischemic peritoneal buttons and cecal multiple abrasion. All mice received intraperitoneal injections with ghrelin (0.16 mg/kg) or saline twice daily for 20 d after surgery. Peritoneal ischemic buttons were harvested to determine protein expression of collagen (Masson trichrome, picrosirius red stain, and Western blot).
RESULTS: The novel mouse model demonstrated consistent and easily reproducible formation of intra-abdominal adhesions. Ghrelin administration significantly reduced postoperative adhesion formation (P < 0.001) in wild-type mice. The antifibrotic effect of ghrelin in wild-type mice was confirmed by measuring collagen I protein levels via Western blot analysis. The anti-adhesion effect of ghrelin seen in wild-type mice was not detected in GHSR KO mice demonstrating that this effect is mediated by the GHSR-1a receptor.
CONCLUSIONS: Ghrelin administration may improve surgical outcome by reducing peritoneal adhesion formation and fibrotic response in a mouse model.
