Improvement of muscle contraction in aganglionic colon by transplantation of HSCR-SCs. (A) Representative traces of colonic contractile force in Wnt1::Cre-;R26-iDTR that receives DT injection (A, Cre- + DT, blue line), Wnt1::Cre+;R26-iDTR (Cre+) with DT injection (A, Cre+ + DT, red line) and Cre+ + DT followed by HSCR-SCs transplantation (A, Cre+ + DT + Cells, green line). Voltage-dependent changes in contractile force of colonic muscle preparation after EFS (30 V, 0.3 ms 5H z for 30 s) showed cell transplantation significantly improved muscle contractile activity (B, n = 4, ***P < .001, **P < .01) This response was significantly reduced by the presence TTX. (, n = 4, * P < .05). Data are represented as mean ± SD from 4 mice per group by Student’s t-test. Abbreviations: TTX, tetrodotoxin; EFS, electrical field stimulation.
