Mixed Primary Cultures of Murine Small Intestine Intended for the Study of Gut Hormone Secretion and Live Cell Imaging of Enteroendocrine Cells

open access: yesJournal of Visualized Experiments, 2017
The gut is the largest endocrine organ of the body, with hormone-secreting enteroendocrine cells located along the length of the gastrointestinal epithelium. Despite their physiological importance, enteroendocrine cells represent only a small fraction of

Cdk4 functions in multiple cell types to control Drosophila intestinal stem cell proliferation and differentiation

open access: yesBiology Open, 2016
The proliferation of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) and differentiation of enteroblasts to form mature enteroendocrine cells and enterocytes in the Drosophila intestinal epithelium must be tightly regulated to maintain homeostasis.

The WT1-like transcription factor Klumpfuss maintains lineage commitment of enterocyte progenitors in the Drosophila intestine

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Notch signaling mediates intestinal enteroblast specification in Drosophila but the molecular mechanism as to how this is regulated is unclear. Here, the authors show that the transcription factor Klumpfuss ensures enteroblast commitment through ...

Intestinal Stem Cells Exhibit Conditional Circadian Clock Function

open access: yesStem Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: The circadian clock is a molecular pacemaker that produces 24-hr physiological cycles known as circadian rhythms. How the clock regulates stem cells is an emerging area of research with many outstanding questions.

Hesperetin Stimulates Cholecystokinin Secretion in Enteroendocrine STC-1 Cells

open access: yesBiomolecules and Therapeutics, 2013
Hesperetin (3',5,7-trihydroxy 4'-methoxyflavanone) and its glycoside hesperidin (hesperetin 7-rhamnoglucoside) in oranges have been reported to possess pharmacological effects related to anti-obesity. However, hesperetin and hesperidin have not been studied on suppressive effects on appetite.

A High-Throughput Automated Microfluidic Platform for Calcium Imaging of Taste Sensing

open access: yesMolecules, 2016
The human enteroendocrine L cell line NCI-H716, expressing taste receptors and taste signaling elements, constitutes a unique model for the studies of cellular responses to glucose, appetite regulation, gastrointestinal motility, and insulin secretion ...

Transdifferentiation of Enteroendocrine K-cells into Insulin-expressing Cells

open access: yesKorean Diabetes Journal, 2009
Background: Despite a recent breakthough in human islet transplantation for treating type 1 diabetes mellitus, the limited availability of donor pancreases remains a major obstacle. Endocrine cells within the gut epithelium (enteroendocrine cells) and pancreatic β cells share similar pathways of differentiation during embryonic development.

Human enteroendocrine cell responses to infection with Chlamydia trachomatis: a microarray study

open access: yesGut Pathogens, 2014
BackgroundEnteroendocrine cells (EEC) are highly specialized cells producing signalling molecules vital to the normal functions of the gut. Recently, we showed altered protein distribution in Chlamydia infected EEC in vitro.

Role of FFAR3 in ketone body regulated glucagon-like peptide 1 secretion

open access: yesBiochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is an effective treatment for obesity, resulting in long-term weight loss and rapid remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
