Abstract

Background & aims The follicle-associated epithelium (FAE) of Peyer's patches mainly consists of two cell types: absorptive enterocytes with a brush border and M cells without this apical specialization. To study the controversial ontogeny of M cells (mesenchymal vs. epithelial origin), the expression pattern of tissue-specific cytoskeletal proteins, markers of cell origin that play a crucial role in the specific shape of epithelial cells and brush border assembly, was investigated.Methods The localization of cytokeratins, vimentin, and villin was determined on mouse FAE using immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy.Results Epithelial-specific cytokeratins were expressed in both absorptive enterocytes and M cells, whereas vimentin was not detected in mouse FAE. Villin, a tissue-specific, actin-binding protein of the brush border, was expressed in the two cell types. This protein had an unusual cytoplasmic distribution in FAE cells lacking a brush border and in cells having an intraepithelial pocket filled with lymphocytes.Conclusions The presence of villin and the absence of vimentin in M cells support the intestinal origin of M cells. The cytoplasmic distribution of villin provides a new identification criteria for M cells and reflects the reorganization of the F-actin network, which correlates with the inability of M cells to assemble a brush border.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • M cells have reduced digestive function because they lack brush-border enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase, which makes them interesting for drug targeting.

    “With the loss of brush-border enzymes, such as alkaline phosphatase, M cells show a reduced digestive function, which makes them even more interesting for drug targeting [26,27].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
