This study aimed at evaluating whether apoptosis of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), smooth muscle cells (SMC), and enteric neurons was involved in a guinea pig model of intestinal ischemia and reperfusion injury. The small intestinal segments were resected at either 6 (I60/R6h) and 12 h (I60/R12h) or 7 (I60/R7d) to 14 (I60/R14d) days after 60 min intestinal ischemia in the adult guinea pigs and studied by immunohistochemistry with anti-Kit, 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU), alpha-smooth muscle actin, vimentin, and beta-tublin III antibodies. Also, apoptosis was tested by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) method. In the I60/R12h injury, there was a approximately 50% decrease of Kit+ cells in cell numbers at the level of myenteric plexus and a number of Kit-/vimentin-positive cells were labeled by TUNEL. Also, a few SMC and enteric neurons were TUNEL positive. The Kit+ ICC recovered to normal and a number of Kit-/BrdU-double-positive cells were observed in the I60/R14d group. Our results indicated that the intestinal I/R injury could lead to apoptosis of ICC, SMC, and enteric neurons which may contribute to the gastrointestinal motility disorders, and proliferation was involved in the recovery of ICC.

D007422 Intestines The section of the alimentary canal from the STOMACH to the ANAL CANAL. It includes the LARGE INTESTINE and SMALL INTESTINE. Intestine
D009197 Myenteric Plexus One of two ganglionated neural networks which together form the ENTERIC NERVOUS SYSTEM. The myenteric (Auerbach's) plexus is located between the longitudinal and circular muscle layers of the gut. Its neurons project to the circular muscle, to other myenteric ganglia, to submucosal ganglia, or directly to the epithelium, and play an important role in regulating and patterning gut motility.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.

D000199 Actins Filamentous proteins that are the main constituent of the thin filaments of muscle fibers. The filaments (known also as filamentous or F-actin) can be dissociated into their globular subunits; each subunit is composed of a single polypeptide 375 amino acids long. This is known as globular or G-actin. In conjunction with MYOSINS, actin is responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscle.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
