pubmed:abstractText
A division of labor exists between different classes of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the gastrointestinal tract. In the stomach and small intestine, ICC at the level of the myenteric plexus (IC-MY) act as slow wave pacemaker cells, whereas intramuscular ICC (IC-IM) in the stomach act as intermediaries in enteric motor neurotransmission. The muscle layers of the gastric fundus do not have IC-MY, therefore electric slow waves are not generated. Intramuscular ICC are absent in the gastric fundus of W/WV mutant mice, and excitatory and inhibitory motor nerve responses are reduced in these tissues. The absence of IC-IM in W/WV mutants in the fundus provides a unique opportunity to study the molecular changes that are associated with the loss of these cells.
