Gene expression in WT and Stat6 KO intestinal stem cells
Purpose: To examine the expression profile of WT and Stat6 KO intestinal stem cells. Methods: We isolated Lgr5+ ISCs from the intestine tissue, and generated Stat6 KO ISCs through CRISPR/Cas9 approach. Results: Many genes are changed upon Stat6 KO cells. We pay special attention on Wnt/ß-catenin signaling that is the most critical pathway in ISCs, and discovered Stat6 drove the expression of Wnt target genes. Conclusions: Stat6 crosstalks with Wnt signaling to drive ISC self-renewal. Overall design: Examination of gene expression in WT ISCs and Stat6 KO ISCs.
