| Research Abstract |
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), which are located in the gastrointestinal musculature, are suggested to be pacemaker cells of the gut motility. In this study we examined the gene expression of ICC precursor cells during the embryonic stage of mice to clarify the genes associated with the development of ICC. By using DNA microarray we found some candidate genes including BMP signaling related genes and TGFβ signaling related genes. In addition we established specific isolation of ICC using a cell sorter.
