Interstitial cells of Cajal - systematic review.
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. Alterations of ICC reported in as well as in GI stromal tumours are reviewed,...
متن کاملImmunomagnetic enrichment of interstitial cells of Cajal.
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 intact tissues, and contamination with other ...
متن کاملInterstitial cells of Cajal in enteric neurotransmission.
Specialised cells known as interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs), distributed in specific locations within the tunica muscularis of the gastrointestinal tract, serve as electrical pacemakers and mediators of enteric neurotransmission. Until recently, evidence to support a functional role of these cells has been, for the most part, indirect. The role of ICCs in pacemaking or neurotransmission has b...
متن کاملInterstitial cells of Cajal in the urethra
The smooth muscle layer of the urethra generates spontaneous myogenic tone that is thought to make a major contribution to urinary continence. The mechanisms underlying generation of tone remain unclear, however recent studies from our laboratory highlighted a role for a specialised population of pacemaker cells which we originally referred to as interstitial cells (IC) and now term ICC. Urethr...
متن کاملInhibitory responses mediated by vagal nerve stimulation are diminished in stomachs of mice with reduced intramuscular interstitial cells of Cajal
Intramuscular interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC-IM) are closely associated with enteric motor nerve terminals and electrically coupled to smooth muscle cells within the gastric musculature. Previous studies investigating the role of ICC-IM in motor neurotransmission have used indiscriminate electric field stimulation of neural elements within the gastric wall. To determine the role of ICC-IM in ...
