Cholinergic signalling-regulated KV7.5 currents are expressed in colonic ICC-IM but not ICC-MP

Abstract

Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and the enteric nervous system orchestrate the various rhythmic motor patterns of the colon. Excitation of ICC may evoke stimulus-dependent pacemaker activity and will therefore have a profound effect on colonic motility. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the potential role of K+ channels in the regulation of ICC excitability. We employed the cell-attached patch clamp technique to assess single …
