Although the esophagus contains enteric neurons, they have never been isolated and characterized in primary culture. We isolated and cultured enteric neurons of the rat esophagus and determined their morphological appearance, chemical coding for neurotransmitters, and functional characteristics. After primary culture for 2 wk, dendrites and axons appeared in the enteric neurons, which usually have one axon and several dendrites. Although the size of neuronal bodies varied from Dogiel type I to type II, their average size was 39 ± 1.8 μm in length and 23 ± 1.4 μm in width. Immmunocytochemical studies revealed that over 95% of these cells were positively stained for two general neuronal markers, PGP 9.5 or Milli-Mark Fluoro. Chemical coding showed that the neurons were positively stained for choline acetyltransferease (53 ± 6%) or nNOS (66 ± 13%). In functional studies, membrane depolarization and stimulation of several G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) induced Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>signaling in the esophageal enteric neurons. The GPCR stimulation was found to induce both intracellular Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>release and extracellular Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>entry. The functional expressions of Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>channels (voltage-gated Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>channels and store-operated channels) and Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>pump (sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>-ATPase) were also demonstrated on these neurons.
