Recent studies suggest that gastrin regulates parietal cell maturation. We asked whether it also regulates parietal cell life span and migration along the gland. Dividing cells were labeled with 5'-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU), and parietal cells were identified by staining with Dolichos biflorus lectin. Cells positive for D. biflorus lectin and BrdU were reliably identified 10-30 days after BrdU injection in mice in which the gastrin gene had been deleted by homologous recombination (Gas-KO) and wild-type (C57BL/6) mice. The time course of labeling was similar in the two groups. The distribution of BrdU-labeled parietal cells in wild-type mice was consistent with migration to the base of the gland, but in Gas-KO mice, a higher proportion of BrdU-labeled cells was found more superficially 20 and 30 days after BrdU injection. Conversely, in transgenic mice overexpressing gastrin, BrdU-labeled parietal cells accounted for a higher proportion of the labeled pool in the base of the gland 10 days after BrdU injection. Gastrin, therefore, stimulates movement of parietal cells along the gland axis but does not influence their life span. |
