Biomechanical properties of esophagus during systemic treatment with epidermal growth factor in rats.

Abstract:

:The epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a growth factor with effects on many cell types and tissue. Morphometric and passive biomechanical properties were studied in isolated segments of the esophagus in 22 EGF-treated rats and 12 control rats. The rats were divided into groups with EGF treatment for 2, 4, 7, and 14 days (n=6 for each group except n=4 for the 14 days EGF-treatment group) or saline treatment (n=3 for each group). The mechanical test was performed as a distension experiment in vitro where the whole esophagus was stretched to its in situ length and distended with pressures up to 10 cm H2O using a ramp distension protocol. The pressure and outer diameter were recorded. Circumferential stress (force per area) and strain (deformation) were computed from the diameter and pressure data using the zero-stress state as reference. The zero-stress state was obtained by cutting esophageal rings radially. This caused the rings to open up into a sector. EGF induced pronounced morphometric changes, e.g., the wall thickness, wall cross-sectional area, and inner and outer circumferential lengths significantly increased during the EGF treatment. Histological analysis showed mucosa and submucosa growth during EGF treatment. The opening angle and residual strains increased with the highest value in the 14 days EGF-treated group (P<0.05). The change in opening angle depended largely on the change in mucosa thickness. Furthermore, the circumferential stiffness of the esophagus reached a maximum after 7 days EGF treatment (P<0.01).
