| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We immunostained the gastrointestinal tissue of a case (males) who developed necrotizing enterocolitis, and cells with sex chromosome XX were observed.This suggests that maternal cells transferred from mother to fetus during pregnancy may be involved in onset as one of the causes of necrotizing enterocolitis in very low birth weight infants.Based on these results, rats were crossed with E-GFP transgenic rats to create microchimerism visualized rats.In the body of this rat, it can be confirmed as cells exhibiting green fluorescence under fluorescence in maternal cell.However, the role that maternal cell plays in vivo is still unclear and we will continue to elucidate.
