Distribution and ultrastructure of interstitial cells of Cajal in the gastric antrum of wild-type and Ws/Ws rats

Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the stomach of wild-type and Ws/Ws mutant rats that are deficient in c-kit were studied by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy to elucidate their regional specialization in the gastric antrum. Immunohistochemistry for Kit protein demonstrated that in wil...

description Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the stomach of wild-type and Ws/Ws mutant rats that are deficient in c-kit were studied by immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy to elucidate their regional specialization in the gastric antrum. Immunohistochemistry for Kit protein demonstrated that in wild-type rats ICC were located at the submucosal border of the circular muscle layer (ICC-SM) in a limited extension of the antrum from the pyloric sphincter towards the corpus, as well as within both the circular (ICC-CM) and longitudinal (ICC-LM) muscle layers and in the myenteric plexus region (ICC-AP). In c-kit mutant Ws/Ws rats while ICC-CM and ICC-LM were not observed, but unexpectedly, a few ICC-SM and ICC-AP were found. By electron microscopy, ICC-SM and ICC-AP were characterized by abundant mitochondria, many caveolae, a distinct basal lamina and formed gap junctions with other ICC or with smooth muscle cells and make close contacts with nerves. Thus, ICC-SM and ICC-AP of the rat antrum were classified as Type 3 ICC, the type most similar to smooth muscle cells. The functional significance of ICC-SM and their survival in the c-kit mutant animals is discussed in reference to the role of the c-kit/stem cell factor system for their cellular maturation.
