About this study

The dissolution and absorption of oral drugs in the gastrointestinal tract is a complex process, which is affected by physiological factors such as transporters, metabolic enzymes, gene phenotypes, gastrointestinal diseases, intestinal flora and so on. Therefore, the investigators are planning to collect gastrointestinal mucosa tissues, gastric juice, saliva , feces and blood samples to investigate (1) the activity and abundance of metabolism enzymes/transports in different section of gastrointestinal tract, (2) the composition and physicochemical properties of gastric juice; (3) the distribution and abundance of bacterial in gastrointestinal mucosa, saliva, gastric juice and feces; (4) the composition and content of bile acid in gastrointestinal mucosa, gastric juice and plasma in Chinese volunteers who planning to undergo digestive endoscopy.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, open-labelled study. Twenty four Chinese adult volunteers who schedule for gastrointestinal endoscopy will be enrolled and will be not allowed to take products containing grapefruit, fruit juice, tea, coffee, wine and other foods or drinks containing caffeine, xanthine and alcohols at least 14 days before the gastrointestinal endoscopes. In addition, smoking is also prohibited. Screen will be performed any day between 3 and 14 days prior to the gastrointestinal endoscopes. Feces, saliva and 4 ml whole blood samples will be collected from these participants 3 days before gastrointestinal endoscopes for the detection of bacterial diversity, metabolic enzymes, transporter-related genotypes and bile acids. Afterwards, participants will undergo painless gastroscopy. Meanwhile, gastric juice, mucosal tissue from stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, colon will be collected. The total number of mucosal tissue no more than 10.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The activity and abundance of metabolism enzymes/transports in different section of gastrointestinal tract

    LC-MS / MS will be used to quantitatively determine the activity of enzymes/transporters and protein content in mucosal samples including CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, CYP2J2, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A4, UGT1A6, UGT1A7, UGT1A8, UGT1A10, UGT2B7, UGT2B17, ABCB1, ABCC2, ABCC3, ABCG2, ASBT, CNT1, CNT2, SGLT1, OATP2B1, OCTN1, OCIN2, OCT1, OCT3, PEPT1.

    Measured: Feb,2021-Sep, 2022

  2. The physicochemical properties of gastric juice

    The physicochemical properties of gastric juice including pH, viscosity, buffer capacity, osmotic pressure, and so on will be determined by means of pH-meter, rheometer, burette, freezing point depression, and so on

    Measured: Feb,2021-Sep, 2022

  3. The composition of gastric juice

    The composition of protein in gastric juice will be measured by LC-MS/MS or HPLC

    Measured: Feb,2021-Sep, 2022

  4. The composition and content of bile acid in gastrointestinal mucosa, gastric juice and plasma

    LC-MS/MS or HPLC will be used to determine the composition of bile acids in mucosal tissues, gastric juice and blood

    Measured: Feb,2021-Sep, 2022

  5. The distribution of bacterial in gastrointestinal mucosa, saliva, gastric juice and feces

    The distribution of bacteria in mucosa samples and gastric juice will be determined by high-throughput sequencing

    Measured: Feb,2021-Sep, 2022

  6. The abundance of bacterial in gastrointestinal mucosa, saliva, gastric juice and feces

    The abundance of bacteria in mucosa samples and gastric juice will be determined by high-throughput sequencing

    Measured: Feb,2021-Sep, 2022
