摘要: Abstract Megaesophagus in mice has been associated with several genetic defects. In the present study we expand range of genes esophageal function and morphology by protein kinase C alpha (PKCα). PKCα-deficient showed a six times increased prevalence megaesophagus at age 9–10 weeks compared to wild-type animals. contrast, restricted number 14-month-old animals both genotypes similar was found. an portion distal esophagus lined smooth muscle cells. Achalasia-like degeneration or loss neuronal cells, inflammation fibrosis not any The results therefore suggest that PKCα expression is delayed replacement embryonic skeletal consecutive young mice, which, however, same advanced age.
