| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ncx KO mouse shows increased number of enteric neurons and is regarded as the animal model of human Hirschsprung related disease. Ncx KO mice develop severe sepsis compared to control mice after CLP procedure. We analyzed intestinal immune system and bacterial flora of the intestine. We found that dysbiosis took place in the intestine of KO mice. In addition, number of apoptotic cells and goblet cells were increased in the KO mice intestinal epithelium. We speculate that these conditions contribute to the severe outcome of the sepsis in CLP model in the KO mice.
In order to observe long-term outcome of sepsis, we tried the easy stool methods (ESM) instead of CLP procedure. In ESM, feces are injected intraperitoneally to mice and this method is thought to induce less severe sepsis compared to CLP method. The mice injected with the feces from Ncx KO mice have a tendency to develop more severe sepsis compared to the mice that injected with the feces from wild type mice.
