Loss of mammalian Sprouty2 leads to enteric neuronal hyperplasia and esophageal achalasia
&
Abstract
We report here that loss of the Sprouty2 gene (also known as Spry2) in mice resulted in enteric nerve hyperplasia, which led to esophageal achalasia and intestinal pseudo-obstruction. Glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) induced hyperactivation of ERK and Akt in enteric nerve cells.
