Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The mechanism of intestinal dysfunction develops during systemic invasion has not been sufficiently elucidated. We focused on the function of intestinal stem cells and aimed to elucidate this mechanism. First, in the CLP model, the number of cells during cell division in the crypt was decreasing. The signals involved in the proliferation or differentiation of intestinal stem cells were evaluated by RT-PCR, and it was found that Wnt3, BMP4 (that inhibits Wnt), Noggin (that inhibits BMP), and Notch1 (that is involved in maintaining undifferentiated state of intestinal stem cell) were decreased after 24 hours in the CLP group. The number of Lgr5 positive cells was also decreased in the CLP group. Intestinal stem cell damage caused by CLP may cause villous atrophy and intestinal peristaltic dysfunction.
