The connective connection: interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and ICC-like cells establish synapses with immunoreactive cells.: Electron microscope study in sity.

Abstract: Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), located in the musculature of the gastrointestinal tract, are well characterized (as much as possible nowadays) from the ultrastructural, cytochemical and functional points of view (recent reviews: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]). Moreover, ICC J. Cell. Mol. Med. Vol 9, No 3, 2005 pp. 714-730 The connective connection: Challenging glimpse AbstractWe present transmission electron microscope (TEM) evidence that ICC and ICC-like cells frequently establish close contacts (synapses)… Show more

“…In addition, their distribution throughout the gastric wall also shows an omnipresence such as ICC-IM, ICC-MY, ICC-SP and ICC in muscularis mucosa and even ICC in mucosa (1,13,14,24,25,(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40). however, the presence and role of ICC outside the muscle layer are seldom studied.…”

“…Notably, ICC which exhibit plasticity are one type of MSCs and development is dependent on c-Kit activation (22). furthermore, motility disorder by ethanol-induced inflammation and Trichinella spiralis infection in the gI tract is also known to be due to injury of Icc, resulting in reduction of density, damage of ICC processes and vacuolization of their cytoplasm (25,28). These characteristics and findings suggest that ICC are associated with carcinogenesis in the mucosa.…”
