Telocytes role during the postnatal development of the Mongolian gerbil jejunum
2018, Experimental and Molecular PathologyCitation Excerpt :No co-localisation of CD34 with c-Kit occurs in the villi; such evidence indicates that the telocytes remain present in the villi, in which the smooth muscle develops later. In the muscularis externa that develops earlier, telocytes (CD34-positive, or CD34 + c-Kit-positive) coexist with exclusively c-Kit-positive cells, which may be ICCs, whose main marker is c-Kit (Komuro and Zhou 1996). It was hypothesised that CD34-positive fibroblast-like stromal cells would be progenitor cells from a large number of cells (Sidney et al., 2014).
An immunohistochemical study of S-100 protein in the intestinal tract of Chinese soft-shelled turtle, Pelodiscus sinensis
2011, Research in Veterinary ScienceCitation Excerpt :But few SPPCs were seen in the mucosa, submucosa and serosa (Fekete et al., 1999; Chen et al., 2006). Meanwhile, previous reports have studied the morphology and distribution of ICCs in the gastrointestinal tract of mammals (Komuro and Zhou, 1996; Rømert and Mikkelsen, 1998; Wester et al., 1999; Hudson et al., 1999; Torihashi et al., 1995, 1999; Toma et al., 1999; Ward and Sanders, 2001; Takayama et al., 2002; Rumessen and Vanderwinden, 2003; Márquez et al., 2006; Iino et al., 2007, 2009; De Ceulaer et al., 2007; Junquera et al., 2007; Aranishi et al., 2009; Lee et al., 2009; Pavone and Mandara, 2010; Rumessen et al., 2009, 2010), amphibians (Junquera et al., 1986, 1987, 1988; Prosser, 1995; Miyamoto-Kikuta and Komuro, 2007), birds (Lecoin et al., 1996; Reynhout and Duke, 1999) and reptiles (Junquera et al., 1998, 2001; Martinez-Ciriano et al., 2000); such studies showed bipolar or stellate shape and were distributed in the myenteric plexus region, circular muscle layer, submucosal surface of the circular muscle layer and lamina propria. S-100 positive cells and C-kit positive ICCs were observed with similar distribution patterns and morphology in the turtle intestine.

2007, NeuropharmacologyCitation Excerpt :In the first step, the TSA technique was used to detect the P2 receptor, while in the second step a conventional immunofluorescence method was applied. For the second step, we used antibodies (Table 1) directed against PGP, labelling most enteric neurons (Phillips et al., 2004), against α-SMA, a smooth muscle cell marker (Skalli et al., 1986), against Kit, a marker of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs; Komuro and Zhou, 1996), against nNOS to detect nitrergic neurons (Bredt et al., 1990), against S100, a marker of enteric glial cells (EGCs; Ferri et al., 1982), against CD163, to recognise macrophages (Barbe et al., 1990), and against neurofilament H (SMI 32; Sternberger and Sternberger, 1983) to identify morphological features of P2-immunoreactive neurons. Negative controls in which one of the primary antibodies was omitted, and interference control stainings, as described by Shindler and Roth (1996), were performed.
