| Research Abstract |
In this study, we examined the gene expression of interstitial cells of Cajal, which are thought to be the regulatory cells of gut motility, in trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced experimental colitis of mice. By DNA microarray we found some candidate genes related to ICC recovery including cell growth factorsand transcription factors. These results may lead to the development of new therapeutic strategy for motility disorder of gut
