Differential gene expression in the murine gastric fundus lacking interstitial cells of Cajal [PDF]

BMC Gastroenterology, 2003
Background The muscle layers of murine gastric fundus have no interstitial cells of Cajal at the level of the myenteric plexus and only possess intramuscular interstitial cells and this tissue does not generate electric slow waves.

Secretin targets interstitial cells of Cajal to regulate intestinal contractions [PDF]

EMBO Reports
Secretin is a gastrointestinal (GI) hormone that slows intestinal motility, an effect thought to be mediated through vagal afferent pathways. In this study we show evidence for a novel function of secretin involving a non-neural mechanism mediated by ...

Perivascular Interstitial Cells of Cajal in Human ColonSummary

Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2015
Background & Aims: Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) closely associate with nerves and smooth muscles to modulate gut motility. In the ICC microenvironment, although the circulating hormones/factors have been shown to influence ICC activities, the ...

The possible roles of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide channels in regulating pacemaker activity in colonic interstitial cells of Cajal [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide (HCN) channels are pacemaker channels that regulate heart rate and neuronal rhythm in spontaneously active cardiac and neuronal cells.

Interstitial Cells of Cajal : Pathology, injury and repair

Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal, 2012
Interstitial cells of cajal (ICC) are specialised cells located within the musculature of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Although they form only 5% of the cells in the musculature of the GIT, they play a critical role in regulating smooth muscle ...

Interstitial Cells of Cajal [PDF]

Pancreas, 2011
Ramon y Cajal discovered interstitial cells in the pancreas associated with intrinsic nerves. It was our aim to provide evidence for or against the hypothesis that the pancreatic duct harbors interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) that may function as pacemakers for duct motility.We used immunohistochemistry using c-Kit as the ICC marker and protein gene ...
