ICC and SCF/c-kit signaling expressed in each group. (a) Immunohistochemical technique showed that a large number of c-kit+ cells in the DM + GES groups were distributed in the intramuscular layer and the myenteric layer of the gastric antrum (200x). (b) Western blot study showed that after given long-pulse GES, the expressions of c-kit and SCF protein were significantly increased compared with those in the DM group. (c) RT-PCR showed that the expressions of c-kit and SCF mRNA in the DM + GES groups were significantly increased compared with those in the DM group. in the DM group compared with the control group. in other groups compared with the DM group.
