Decreased expression of β1 integrin in enteric neural crest cells of the endothelin receptor B null mouse model
2019
Background
Interactions between enteric neural crest-derived cells (ENCC) and the surrounding intestinal microenvironment, such as the extracellular matrix (ECM), are critical for regulating enteric nervous system (ENS) development. Integrins are the major receptors for ECM molecules, such as laminin, which have been reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of Hirschsprung’s disease. In this study, we examined the expression of β1 integrin in the endothelin receptor B (Ednrb) knock out (KO) mouse gut, which presents with an aganglionic colon.
