Disorders of Interstitial Cells of Cajal

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 2007
ABSTRACTInterstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) have, in the past 2 decades, been recognised as important elements in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility. Specifically, they have been shown to be critical for the generation and propagation of electrical slow waves that regulate the phasic contractile activity of gastrointestinal smooth muscle, and ...

Interstitial cells of Cajal in chagasic megaesophagus

Annals of Diagnostic Pathology, 2008
Chagasic visceromegalies are the most important digestive manifestations of Chagas disease and are characterized by motor disorders and dilation of organs such as esophagus and colon. One of the theories raised to explain the physiopathogenesis of chagasic megas is the plexus theory. Recent studies have shown a reduction of interstitial cells of Cajal (

Guide to the identification of interstitial cells of Cajal

Microscopy Research and Technique, 1999
The interstitial cell of Cajal, abbreviated ICC, is a specific cell type with a characteristic distribution in the smooth muscle wall throughout the alimentary tract in humans and laboratory mammals. The number of publications relating to ICC is rapidly increasing and demonstrate a rich variation in the structure and organization of these cells.

Development and plasticity of interstitial cells of Cajal

Neurogastroenterology & Motility, 1999
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are the pacemakers in gastrointestinal (GI) muscles, and these cells also mediate or transduce inputs from the enteric nervous system. Different classes of ICC are involved in pacemaking and neurotransmission. ICC express specific ionic conductances that make them unique in their ability to generate and propagate slow ...

Interstitial cells of Cajal and purinergic signalling

Autonomic Neuroscience, 2002
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the guinea pig intestine, identified by the tyrosine kinase receptor, c-Kit, have been shown with immunohistochemistry to express nucleotide P2X2 and P2X5 receptors. P2X5 receptors have also been demonstrated on interstitial cells in the mouse ileum.

Interstitial cells of Cajal in the murine gallbladder

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2006
The presence of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) has been described throughout the digestive tract. In this study, we investigated whether ICC also exist in the gallbladder wall of CD1 mice.Immunofluorescent confocal microscopy was used to identify the morphology and distribution of ICC in either whole-mount flat preparations or enzyme-dispersed cells

Immunomagnetic enrichment of interstitial cells of Cajal

American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 2004
Disruptions of networks of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), gastrointestinal pacemakers and mediators of neurotransmission, can lead to disordered phasic contractions and peristalsis by reducing and uncoupling electrical slow waves. However, detailed analysis of the ICC network behavior has been hampered by their scarcity, limited accessibility in ...
