Description
The identification of Lgr5 as an intestinal stem cell marker has made it possible to isolate and study primary stem cells from small intestine. Using the cell cycle specific expression og the mKi67 gene, we generated a novel Ki67-RFP knock-in allele which identifies dividing cells. Using Lgr5-GFP;Ki67-RFP mice, we isolated CBCs with distinct Wnt signaling levels and cell cycle features, and analyzed their global gene expression pattern using microarrays. We concluded that the cycling Lgr5hi stem cells exit the cell cycle in transition into the secretory lineage. Lgr5med Ki67low intermediate precursors reside in the zone of differentiation, resemble quiescent stem cells and generate the Dll1+ secretory precursors and the label retaining cells. Our findings support the cycling stem cell hypothesis and highlight the heterogeneity of early progenitors during lineage commitment.
