| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tubulin acetylation is involved in the regulation and stability of microtubule structure and plays an important role in various neuronal functions. In this study, the relationship between the expression of acetylated α-tubulin (Ac-Tub) in enteric neurons of the endothelin receptor B-knockout (EDNRB KO) mouse, which is a mouse model of Hirschsprung disease (HD), and developmental abnormalities of the enteric nervous system (ENS) were examined.
Fluorescent immunohistochemical analysis with Ac-Tub antibody was performed to assess the expression pattern of Ac-Tub in neuronal cells, and the expression in the EDNRB KO embryos was found to be increased compared to that in the normal embryos. The results indicated that the change in Ac-Tub expression in the developing enteric neurons may be associated with developmental abnormalities related to the innervation of the ENS in HD.
