Single cell RNA-seq of Stmn1+ isthmal cells and Pgc+ chief cells to compare and characterize distinct gastric corpus stem cells at molecular level
The purpose of this single cell experiment is to compare and characterize at molecular level actively cycling stem cells in the isthmus and quiescent stem cells in the base of the mouse stomach corpus. The lineage tracing data from Stmn1-CreERT2 shows that Stmn1+ cells in the corpus isthmus include fast dividing isthmus stem cells with long-term potency. On the other hand, chief cells including Lgr5+ subpopulation can play as quiescent stem cells in the base that are largely quiescent in homeostasis, but are activated upon injury. The isthmus stem cells and chief cells are isolated by Stmn1 and Pgc, respectively, and were subject to single cell RNA-seq experiment.
