In situ hybridization analysis of mRNA expression of 5-Hydroxytryptamine_4 receptor in intestinal mucosa mast cells / 北京大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective: To verify 5-HT4 receptor mRNA expression in intestinal mucosa mast cells (IMMC). Methods: IMMC was isolated from the whole intestines of normal rats by collagenase digestion and purified by percoll. In situ hybridization was performed to detect the expression of 5-HT4 receptor mRNA in IMMC. Results: Evidently positive staining was shown in the cytoplasm of IMMC. Conclusion: We have verified the expression of 5-HT4 receptor mRNA in IMMC for the first time and provided evidence for further research.
