Origin of interstitial cells of Cajal in the mouse intestine

Developmental Biology

Abstract

The interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are found in a number of different locations in the gastrointestinal tract, where they form close associations with both muscle cells and nerve terminals. In this study we examined the embryological origin of ICC in the mouse intestine to determine whether they arise from the neural crest or from the intestinal wall. Segments of intestine were removed from embryonic mice either before or after the arrival of neural crest cells (the precursors of enteric neurons and glial cells) and transplanted under the renal capsule of host (adult) mice and allowed to develop for 18-41 days. In the mouse intestine, antibodies to c-kit protein selectively label ICC at a variety of locations, and antibodies to the NK1 receptor (the receptor for substance P) labels ICC at the level of the deep muscular plexus in the small intestine and a subpopulation of enteric neurons in the large intestine. The presence of neurons in the explants was examined using antisera to neuron-specific enolase, substance P, and calretinin. In segments of small and large intestine explanted after the arrival of neural crest cells, immunoreactive neurons and c-kit- and NK1-immunoreactive ICC were present with a distribution similar t...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
