Different distributions of interstitial cells of Cajal and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α positive cells in colonic smooth muscle cell/interstitial cell of Cajal/platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α positive cell syncytium in mice

Figure 8 Expression levels of c-Kit/anoctamin-1 and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α/small conductance calcium-activated potassium channel 3 in proximal and distal smooth muscles of the colon. A and B: Western blot analysis of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) and anoctamin-1 (ANO1) in both ends of the colon. C and D: Summary of data analyzed using densitometric quantification (ICC, ANO1 n = 8, ^aP < 0.05). E: Western blot analysis of platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α and small conductance calcium-activated potassium channel 3 in both ends of the colon. F and G: Summary of data analyzed using densitometric quantification (n = 8, ^aP < 0.05). ANO1: Anoctamin-1; SK3: Small conductance calcium-activated potassium channel 3.
