Description:
Genes associated with Hirschsprung disease, a failure to form enteric ganglia in the hindgut, were highly up-regulated in gut neural crest stem cells relative to whole-fetus RNA. One of these genes, the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) receptor Ret, was necessary for neural crest stem cell migration in the gut. GDNF promoted the migration of neural crest stem cells in culture but did not affect their survival or proliferation. Gene expression profiling, combined with reverse genetics and analyses of stem cell function, suggests that Hirschsprung disease is caused by defects in neural crest stem cell function.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2614078/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2614078/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Iwashita, Toshihide -- Kruger, Genevieve M -- Pardal, Ricardo -- Kiel, Mark J -- Morrison, Sean J -- CA46592/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- DK58771/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- NIH5P60-DK20572/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P30 AR48310/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- P60-AR20557/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS040750/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS040750-01/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS40750-01/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R21 HD40760-02/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2003 Aug 15;301(5635):972-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Department of Internal Medicine, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-0934, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12920301" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
