Myocardial interstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLC) in caveolin-1 KO mice
Abstract We compared, by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the ultrastructure of interstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLC) in normal mammalian myocardium versus caveolin-1 null mice. TEM showed that myocardial ICLCs of caveolin-1-deficient mice retain their main ultrastructural characteristics, for example, location among cardiomyocytes, close vicinity to nerves and/or blood capillaries, speci...
متن کاملEpicardium: interstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLC) highlighted by immunofluorescence
During the last few years, there is an increasing interest in the role of the epicardium in cardiac development, myocardial remodelling or repair and regeneration. Several types of cells were described in the subepicardial loose connective tissue, beneath the epicardial mesothe-lium. We showed previously (repeatedly) the existence of interstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLCs) in human and mammalian ...
متن کاملInterstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLC) in myocardial sleeves of human pulmonary veins
We present here evidence for the existence of a new type of interstitial cell in human myocardial sleeves of pulmonary veins: interstitial Cajal-like cell (ICLC). This cell fulfils the criteria for positive diagnosis of ICLC, including CD 117/c-kit positivity. Transmission electron microscopy revealed typical ICLC with 2 or 3 very long processes (several tens of mm) suddenly emerging from the c...
متن کاملInterstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLC) in atrial myocardium: ultrastructural and immunohistochemical characterization
We have previously reported (Hinescu & Popescu, 2005) the existence of interstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLC), by transmission electron microscopy, in human atrial myocardium. In the present study, ICLC were identified with non-conventional light microscopy (NCLM) on semi-thin sections stained with toluidine blue and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for CD117/c-kit, CD34, vimentin and other additional ...
متن کاملInterstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLC) as steroid hormone sensors in human myometrium: immunocytochemical approach
Expression of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors was investigated in cultured human normal myometrial cells (non-pregnant uterus, fertile period). The ER and PR expression was studied by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence on either myocytes or interstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLC). Only those cells double immunostained for c-kit and steroid receptors were considered as ICLC. ...
