Xiaozhang Tie Improves Intestinal Motility in Rats With Cirrhotic Ascites by Regulating the Stem Cell Factor/c-kit Pathway in Interstitial Cells of Cajal

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
We previously discovered that Xiaozhang Tie (XZT) was helpful for cirrhotic ascites, with obvious abdominal distention relief, suggesting that it may improve gastrointestinal (GI) motility.

Cells derived from the coelomic epithelium contribute to multiple gastrointestinal tissues in mouse embryos. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Gut mesodermal tissues originate from the splanchnopleural mesenchyme. However, the embryonic gastrointestinal coelomic epithelium gives rise to mesenchymal cells, whose significance and fate are little known.

Variations in the Density and Distribution of Cajal Like Cells Associated With the Pathogenesis of Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Frontiers in Surgery, 2021
Introduction: Cajal like cells (CLCs) in the upper urinary tract have an ability to generate coordinated spontaneous action potentials and are hypothesized to help propel urine from renal pelvis into the ureter.

Anoctamin 1 and c-Kit immunohistochemical study of interstitial cells of Cajal in the muscularis externa of human gastrointestinal tract

Folia Morphologica, 2023
BACKGROUND: Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are widely distributed in human gastrointestinal (GI) tract, especially in the layer of muscularis externa between neurons and smooth muscles.

Gastric Electrical Pacing Reduces Apoptosis of Interstitial Cells of Cajal via Antioxidative Stress Effect Attributing to Phenotypic Polarization of M2 Macrophages in Diabetic Rats

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2021
Background Gastric electrical pacing (GEP) could restore interstitial cells of Cajal in diabetic rats. M2 macrophages contribute to the repair of interstitial cells of Cajal injury though secreting heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1).

Interstitial cells of Cajal in pancreas [PDF]

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 2005
We show here (presumably for the first time) a special type of cell in the human and rat exocrine pancreas. These cells have phenotypic characteristics of the enteric interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC). To identify pancreatic interstitial cells of Cajal (pICC) we used routine light microscopy, non-conventional light microscopy (less than 1 mum semi-thin

Telocyte and Cajal cell distribution in renal pelvis, ureteropelvic junction (UPJ), and proximal ureter in normal upper urinary tract and UPJ obstruction: reappraisal of the aetiology of UPJ obstruction

Folia Morphologica, 2021
BACKGROUND: Telocytes and Cajal cells have been described in human urinary tract and reproductive system in women and men. Telocytes and Cajal cells have been differentiated from other interstitial cells and were described to be an element in smooth ...

Interstitial cells of Cajal — systematic review

Folia Morphologica, 2016
This paper reviews the distribution of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the human gastro-intestinal (GI) tract, based on ultrastructural and immunohistochemical evidence. The distribution and morphology of ICC at each level of the normal GI tracts is addressed from the perspective of their functional significance.

Comparison of the ICC location in the gallbladder wall in patients with cholelithiasis and patients with non-calculous changes

Polish Journal of Pathology, 2019
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) were first described by Santiago Ramon y Cajal over 100 years ago. They are thought to play an important role in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility.

Close relation of arterial ICC-like cells to the contractile phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cell [PDF]

, 2007
This work aimed to establish the lineage of cells similar to the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), the arterial ICC-like (AIL) cells, which have recently been described in resistance arteries, and to study their location in the artery wall.
