The novel enterochromaffin marker Lmx1a regulates serotonin biosynthesis in enteroendocrine cell lineages downstream of Nkx2.2.
Intestinal hormone-producing cells represent the largest endocrine system in the body, but remarkably little is known about enteroendocrine cell type specification in the embryo and adult. We analyzed stage- and cell type-specific deletions of Nkx2.2 and its functional domains in order to characterize its role in the development and maintenance of enteroendocrine cell lineages in the mouse duod...
متن کاملControl of anteroposterior and dorsoventral domains of Nkx-6.1 gene expression relative to other Nkx genes during vertebrate CNS development
Here we report the isolation, sequence and developmental expression in the central nervous system of several members of the chicken and mouse Nkx gene family. These are among the earliest genes to be regionally expressed in the neural plate; they are expressed just above the axial mesendoderm (prechordal mesendoderm and notochord). Each Nkx gene has a distinct spatial pattern of expression alon...
متن کاملGlucose Tolerance Is Improved in Mice Invalidated for the Nuclear Receptor HNF-4γ: A Critical Role for Enteroendocrine Cell Lineage.
Intestine contributes to energy homeostasis through the absorption, metabolism, and transfer of nutrients to the organism. We demonstrated previously that hepatocyte nuclear receptor-4α (HNF-4α) controls intestinal epithelium homeostasis and intestinal absorption of dietary lipids. HNF-4γ, the other HNF-4 form highly expressed in intestine, is much less studied. In HNF-4γ knockout mice, we dete...
متن کاملStudy of Chondrogenic Potential of Fibroblastic Cells Isolated From NMRI Mice
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to isolate and purify fibroblastic cells from NMRI mouse bone marrow and evaluate their potential in differentiating among condrocytic cell lineage in vitro. Materials and Methods: The cells from NMRI bone marrow were harvested and plated at about 500 cells per well of 6-well plates for several days. The pure fibroblastic cells were not appeared until the...
متن کاملEssential requirement for Pax6 in control of enteroendocrine proglucagon gene transcription.
The primary function of islet A cells is the synthesis and secretion of glucagon, an essential hormonal regulator of glucose homeostasis. The proglucagon gene is also expressed in enteroendocrine L cells of the intestinal epithelium, which produce glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2), regulators of insulin secretion and intestinal growth, respectively. We show her...
