Oncogenic K-Ras promotes proliferation in quiescent intestinal stem cells

Stem Cell Research, 2015
K-Ras is a monomeric GTPase that controls cellular and tissue homeostasis. Prior studies demonstrated that mutationally activated K-Ras (K-RasG12D) signals through MEK to promote expansion and hyperproliferation of the highly mitotically active transit ...

A YY1-dependent increase in aerobic metabolism is indispensable for intestinal organogenesis [PDF]

, 2016
During late gestation, villi extend into the intestinal lumen to dramatically increase the surface area of the intestinal epithelium, preparing the gut for the neonatal diet.

Developing evidence‐based, cost‐effective P4 cancer medicine for driving innovation in prevention, therapeutics, patient care and reducing healthcare inequalities

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The cancer problem is increasing globally with projections up to the year 2050 showing unfavourable outcomes in terms of incidence and cancer‐related deaths. The main challenges are prevention, improved therapeutics resulting in increased cure rates and enhanced health‐related quality of life.

Tuft cells promote human intestinal epithelium regeneration as reserve stem cells after irradiation

Cell Regeneration
Intestinal epithelium regeneration is crucial for homeostatic maintenance of the intestinal functions. A recent study published in Nature uncovers tuft cells as an unexpected key player in the regenerative process.

Acute WNT signalling activation perturbs differentiation within the adult stomach and rapidly leads to tumour formation [PDF]

, 2013
A role for WNT signalling in gastric carcinogenesis has been suggested due to two major observations. First, patients with germline mutations in adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) are susceptible to stomach polyps and second, in gastric cancer, WNT ...

Ascl2 Reinforces Intestinal Stem Cell Identity [PDF]

Cell Stem Cell, 2015
Ascl2 is a Wnt-responsive master transcription factor that controls the Lgr5(+) intestinal stem cell gene expression program. Now in Cell Stem Cell, Schuijers et al. (2015) report an Ascl2 positive feedback loop, tuned by previous Wnt pathway activity, that perpetuates intestinal stem cell identity in response to Wnt/R-spondin stimulation.

LDAcoop: Integrating non‐linear population dynamics into the analysis of clonogenic growth in vitro

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Limiting dilution assays (LDAs) quantify clonogenic growth by seeding serial dilutions of cells and scoring wells for colony formation. The fraction of negative wells is plotted against cells seeded and analyzed using the non‐linear modeling of LDAcoop.

Generation of Intestinal Epithelial Monolayers From Single-Cell Dissociated Organoids

Bio-Protocol
Intestinal organoids are generated from intestinal epithelial stem cells, forming 3D mini-guts that are often used as an in vitro model to evaluate and manipulate the regenerative capacities of intestinal epithelial stem cells.

Calorie Restriction Governs Intestinal Epithelial Regeneration through Cell-Autonomous Regulation of mTORC1 in Reserve Stem Cells

Stem Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Aging is a complex process associated with a decline in functionality of adult stem cells affecting tissue homeostasis and regeneration. Calorie restriction (CR) is the only experimental manipulation known to extend lifespan and reduce the ...
