Analysis of the sacral neural crest cell contribution to the hindgut enteric nervous system in the mouse embryo.
BACKGROUND & AIMS The majority of the enteric nervous system is derived from the vagal neural crest, with a second contribution, which is restricted to the post-umbilical gut, originating from the sacral neural crest. In mammals, although sacral neural crest cells (NCCs) have been shown to enter the hindgut, information on their development and role remains scant. Our aim was to determine the m...
متن کاملIsolation of Enteric Nervous System Progenitor Cells from the Aganglionic Gut of Patients with Hirschsprung’s Disease
Enteric nervous system progenitor cells isolated from postnatal human gut and cultured as neurospheres can then be transplanted into aganglionic gut to restore normal patterns of contractility. These progenitor cells may be of future use to treat patients with Hirschprung's disease, a congenital condition characterized by hindgut dysmotility due to the lack of enteric nervous system ganglia. He...
متن کامل20-P002 Pre-enteric migration of sacral neural crest cells is affected in Dominant megacolon embryos
The posterior lateral line primordium (pLLp) migrates caudally and periodically deposits neuromasts under the skin in the zebrafish trunk and tail. Each neuromast, formed within the migrating pLLp, has a central atoh1-positive hair cell determined by Notch mediated-lateral inhibition. The generation of new neuromasts and their deposition as the pLLp migrates caudally is coordinated by mutually ...
متن کاملWhy are enteric ganglia so small? Role of differential adhesion of enteric neurons and enteric neural crest cells.
The avian enteric nervous system (ENS) consists of a vast number of unusually small ganglia compared to other peripheral ganglia. Each ENS ganglion at mid-gestation has a core of neurons and a shell of mesenchymal precursor/glia-like enteric neural crest (ENC) cells. To study ENS cell ganglionation we isolated midgut ENS cells by HNK-1 fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) from E5 and E8 q...
متن کاملBeta1 integrins are required for the invasion of the caecum and proximal hindgut by enteric neural crest cells.
Integrins are the major adhesive receptors for extracellular matrix and have various roles in development. To determine their role in cell migration, the gene encoding the beta1 integrin subunit (Itgb1) was conditionally deleted in mouse neural crest cells just after their emigration from the neural tube. We previously identified a major defect in gut colonisation by conditional Itgb1-null ente...
