Effect of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 on proliferation and differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells in adult mice
To investigate the effect of functional loss of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (Fgfr2) on the proliferation and differentiation of small intestinal epithelial cells in adult mice.
Methods
2
Transgenic mice with conditional knockout of Fgfr2 gene in the small intestinal epithelium were bred and the offspring mice were identified for genotypes and tamoxifen-induced Fgfr2 gene knockout in the small intestinal epithelium. The small intestinal secretory cells were characterized by Alcian staining and immunofluorescence staining to analyze the proportions of different intestinal secretory cells in the epithelium. HE staining and immunohistochemistry were used to observe the length of the villus and crypt depth and quantify the proliferating cells in the crypt in Fgfr2-deficient mice and wild-type littermate mice.
Results
2
After tamoxifen induction
the transgenic mice showed specific Fgfr2 knockout in the small intestinal epithelium as verified by Western blotting. Immunofluorescence and Alcian staining revealed significantly increased Paneth cells (
P
<
0.05) and decreased goblet cells (
P
<
0.05) in the small intestine epithelium of Fgfr2-deficient mice as compared with the wild-type littermate mice
but the number of small intestinal endocrine cells exhibited no significant changes in the transgenic mice. Immunohistochemistry and HE staining showed no significant changes in villus length
crypt depth or the ratio of proliferating cells in the crypt in Fgfr2-deficient mice as compared with the wild-type mice (all
P
>
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Fgfr2-mediated microenvironment signals affect the differentiation of small intestine epithelial cells in adult mice but have little effect on the proliferation of small intestinal epithelial cells.
