The existence of enteric dopaminergic neurons has been suspected; however, the innervation of the gut by sympathetic nerves, in which dopamine (DA) is the norepinephrine precursor, complicates analyses of enteric DA. We now report that transcripts encoding tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and the DA transporter (DAT) are present in the murine bowel (small intestine > stomach or colon; proximal colon > distal colon). Because sympathetic neurons are extrinsic, transcripts encoding TH and DAT in the bowel are probably derived from intrinsic neurons. TH protein was demonstrated immunocytochemically in neuronal perikarya (submucosal >> myenteric plexus; small intestine > stomach or colon). TH, DA, and DAT immunoreactivities were coincident in subsets of neurons (submucosal > myenteric) in guinea pig and mouse intestines in situ and in cultured guinea pig enteric ganglia. Surgical ablation of sympathetic nerves by extrinsic denervation of loops of the bowel did not affect DAT immunoreactivity but actually increased numbers of TH-immunoreactive neurons, expression of mRNA encoding TH and DAT, and enteric DOPAC (the specific dopamine metabolite). The fetal gut contains transiently catecholaminergic (TC) cells. TC cells are the proliferating crest-derived precursors of mature neurons that are not catecholaminergic and, thus, disappear after embryonic day (E) 14 (mouse) or E15 (rat). TC cells appear early in ontogeny, and their development/survival is dependent on mash-1 gene expression. In contrast, the intrinsic TH-expressing neurons of the murine bowel appear late (perinatally) and are mash-1 independent. We conclude that the enteric nervous system contains intrinsic dopaminergic neurons that arise from a mash-1-independent lineage of noncatecholaminergic precursors.
