Abstract:Objective: The incidence of gastro-esophageal adenocarcinoma (GEAC) has increased dramatically and is associated with Barrett's Esophagus (BE). Gastric cardia progenitors are the likely origin for BE and GEAC. Here we analyze p53, Rb1 and Kras alterations in Lgr5 progenitor cells during carcinogenesis. Design: We introduced single and combined genetic alterations (p53, Rb1 and Kras) in Lgr5-expressing progenitor cells at the inflamed gastroesophageal junction in the L2-IL1b (L2) mouse model crossed to Lgr5-Cre… Show more
