Outline of Final Research Achievements

Processes of enteric glial cell (EGC) were morphologically changed by maternal separation stress during the childhood period, which were dynamically enhanced by additional water immersion stress in the adulthood. Colonic motility was hypercontracted but gastric empting was delayed by these phenomena. Neuronal network was histologically developed along with the glial network. These spread of network was possibly associate with expressions of neuronal guidance molecules in the submucosal and mucosal layers. Cellular activation and increased expressions of neuronal guidance molecules was induced by stimulations of corticosterone and tryptase in established enteric glial cell (CRL-2690). All these findings indicated the role of EGC in regulation of physiology of the digestive tracts such as colon and stomach especially under the stress conditions.
