Glial-derived growth factor (GDNF), which is the ligand of RET is reported to be essential for the development of enteric nervous system. A GDNF knockout mouse model has shown that the gastric region is a critical passing site between GDNF-RET-independent neuroblasts (colonizing the esophagus) and GDNF-RET-dependent neuroblasts (colonizing the small and large bowel). The earliest GDNF site of production is the mesenchyme and the outer smooth muscle cell (SMC) layer of the developing bowel. In the mature gastrointestinal tract the presence of GDNF is restricted to enteric glial cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of GDNF and RET in infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS).
