This study aimed to reveal if NeuN, a neuronal nuclei (NeuN) antibody, is a selective marker of intrinsic primary afferent neurons (IPANs) in the guinea-pig gastrointestinal tract as previously hypothesised. The NeuN immunoreactivity was found in the enteric nervous system with exception of the esophagus. Two groups of NeuN-expressing neurons were observed: neurons with immunostained nuclei and cytoplasm (NeuN(NC)) and neurons only expressing immunoreactivity in their nuclei (NeuN(N)). The NeuN(N)-immunoreactive neurons were found in the myenteric plexus of the stomach and the colon. In the stomach, none of the NeuN(N)-expressing neurons, of which 55+/-3% co-expressed calbindin, had a Dogiel type I or II morphology. The NeuN(N)-positive neurons of the colon, which did not express calbindin, did not resemble a Dogiel type II morphology either, but were small-sized neurons. The NeuN(NC)-immunoreactive neurons were observed in both the small and large intestine. These neurons were smooth-contoured and bigger-sized, resembling a Dogiel type II morphology. Some of these neurons co-expressed calbindin. The present data reveal the existence of two populations of Dogiel type II neurons, exhibiting NeuN(NC)+/calbindin+ or NeuN(NC)+/calbindin- immunoreactivity, in the intestine. Assuming that all IPANs exhibit a Dogiel type II morphology, we conclude that the cytoplasmic expression of NeuN is an exclusive feature of IPANs.
