Redundant Sources of Wnt Regulate Intestinal Stem Cells and Promote Formation of Paneth Cells
Open accessAbstract
Background & aims Wnt signaling regulates multiple aspects of intestinal physiology, including stem cell maintenance. Paneth cells support stem cells by secreting Wnt, but little is known about the exact sources and primary functions of individual Wnt family members.Methods We analyzed intestinal tissues and cultured epithelial cells from adult mice with conditional deletion of Wnt3 (Vil-CreERT2;Wnt3fl/fl mice). We also analyzed intestinal tissues and cells from Atoh1 mutant mice, which lack secretory cells.Results Unexpectedly, Wnt3 was dispensable for maintenance of intestinal stem cells in mice, indicating a redundancy of Wnt signals. By contrast, cultured crypt organoids required Paneth cell-derived Wnt3. Addition of exogenous Wnt, or coculture with mesenchymal cells, restored growth of Vil-CreERT2;Wnt3fl/fl crypt organoids. Intestinal organoids from Atoh1 mutant mice did not grow or form Paneth cells; addition of Wnt3 allowed growth in the absence of Paneth cells. Wnt signaling had a synergistic effect with the Lgr4/5 ligand R-spondin to induce formation of Paneth cells. Mosaic expression of Wnt3 in organoids using a retroviral vector promoted differentiation of Paneth cells in a cell-autonomous manner.Conclusions Wnt is part of a signaling loop that affects homeostasis of intestinal stem and Paneth cells in mice. Wnt3 signaling is required for growth and development of organoid cultures, whereas nonepithelial Wnt signals could provide a secondary physiological source of Wnt.

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.
