Abstract:
Signaling through cGMP has emerged as an important regulator of tissue homeostasis in the gastrointestinal tract, but the mechanism is not known. Type 2 cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG2) is a major cGMP effector in the gut epithelium, and the present studies have tested its importance in the regulation of proliferation and differentiation in the mouse colon and in colon cancer cell lines. Tissue homeostasis was examined in the proximal colon of Prkg2(-/-) mice using histological markers of pr...     »
