Dendritic outgrowth of myenteric plexus neurons in primary culture.
Myenteric plexus neurons derived from neonatal guinea pigs, when exposed to serum, demonstrated a characteristic pattern of growth, including a proliferating outgrowth zone of glial cells, peripheral extension of dendritic processes, and progressive dendritic growth. Serum effects upon dendritic growth, measured morphometrically, was strongly dose- and temporally dependent. Dendritic density wa...
متن کاملInhibitory motor neurons of the esophageal myenteric plexus are mechanosensitive.
Mechanosensitivity of enteric neurons has been reported in the small intestine and colon, but not in the esophagus. Our earlier in vivo studies show that mechanical stretch of the esophagus in the axial direction induces neurally mediated relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, possibly through mechanosensitive motor neurons. However, this novel notion that the motor neurons are mechanose...
متن کاملGuided outgrowth of leech neurons in culture.
Sensory neurons of Hirudo medicinalis were cultivated on patterns of extracellular matrix (ECM) protein which were prepared by UV irradiation using copper grid masks. The relation of the patterns and of the outgrowth of neurites was observed by scanning electronmicroscopy after gold decoration. The neurites were guided by narrow (10 microM) lanes of ECM protein. Branching of neurites was induce...
متن کاملMyenteric plexus in Hirschsprung's disease.
The absence of ganglion cells and the presence of abnormal bundles of unmyelinated fibres in the affected segment in Hirschsprung's disease was first well described by Whitehouse and Kernohan (f948). However, previous authors who have studied this problem have used standard transverse sections of the gut to demonstrate the abnormalities but these give a very inadequate view of the plexus which ...
متن کاملStimulation of myenteric plexus neurite outgrowth by insulin and insulin-like growth factors I and II.
A defined culture medium containing insulin, insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) or insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) supported morphological development of myenteric plexus neurons derived from neonatal guinea pigs. Insulin increased neurite outgrowth 3-fold at concentrations as low as 0.2 nM. Similar significant and dose-dependent increases in neurite outgrowth were noted with IGF-I and...
