Key Words Neuroligin-1; Hirschsprung’s disease; Glutamate; Ganglion cells; Pathogenesis
Core Tip Based on our results derived from a large set clinical samples and various experimental methods, neuroligin-1 and glutamate (Glu) were first shown to be co-expressed in ganglion cells; thus neuroligin-1 and Glu may serve as new markers of this cell type, especially for excitatory synapses in the enteric nervous system. Moreover, the decreased abundance of neuroligin-1 and Glu in aganglionic segments may correlate with excessive intestinale contraction because of abnormal excitatory signaling that may ultimately result in Hirschsprung’s disease (HSCR). The serum Glu concentration may serve as a valuable adjunct measure for establishing a diagnosis and classification of HSCR.
