Wnt Signalling in Gastrointestinal Epithelial Stem Cells.
Wnt signalling regulates several cellular functions including proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and migration, and is critical for embryonic development. Stem cells are defined by their ability for self-renewal and the ability to be able to give rise to differentiated progeny. Consequently, they are essential for the homeostasis of many organs including the gastrointestinal tract. This ...
متن کاملWnt signaling, stem cells, and cancer of the gastrointestinal tract.
The Wnt signaling pathway was originally uncovered as one of the prototype developmental signaling cascades in invertebrates as well as in vertebrates. The first indication that Wnt signaling also plays a role in the adult animal came from the study of the intestine of Tcf-4 (Tcf7L2) knockout mice. The gastrointestinal epithelium continuously self-renews over the lifetime of an organism and is,...
متن کاملSignalling in stem cells
Introduction Many scientific meetings have been organized to present research findings on stem-cell sources, their pluripotent nature and potential therapeutic applications for treating disease. The theme of this meeting was the signalling pathways that control stem-cell maintenance and differentiation. In his keynote address, A. Spiegel (Bethesda, MD, USA) emphasized the high therapeutic poten...
متن کاملUlcert Repair by Spray of Epithelial Stem Cells
Purpose: Separation, prolifration of stem cells and repairing of injured parts using these cells. Materials and Methods: This was a Lab-Experimental study. We used 6 male albino rabbits. At first, under general anesthesia 5x5 cm2 full thickness skin from one of the rabbits separated, washed using 70% alcohol and inserted in cold HBSS. Then it was cut into 4-6 mm pieces, washed again and incubat...
متن کاملHuman Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells Acquire Epithelial Characteristics through Fusion with Gastrointestinal Epithelial Cells
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have the ability to differentiate into a variety of cell types and are a potential source for epithelial tissue repair. Several studies have demonstrated their ability to repopulate the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in bone marrow transplanted patients or in animal models of gastrointestinal carcinogenesis where they were the source of epithelial ...
