We report here that loss of the Sprouty2 gene (also known as Spry2) in mice resulted in enteric nerve hyperplasia, which led to esophageal achalasia and intestinal pseudo-obstruction. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) induced hyperactivation of ERK and Akt in enteric nerve cells. Anti-GDNF antibody administration corrected nerve hyperplasia in Sprouty2-deficient mice. We show Sprouty2 to be a negative regulator of GDNF for the neonatal development or survival of enteric nerve cells.
我们在此报告,小鼠中Sprouty2基因(也称为Spry2)缺失导致肠神经增生,进而引发食管失弛缓症和肠道假性梗阻。胶质细胞系衍生的神经营养因子(GDNF)诱导肠神经细胞中ERK和Akt过度激活。给予抗GDNF抗体可纠正Sprouty2缺陷小鼠的神经增生。我们证明Sprouty2是肠神经细胞新生发育或存活过程中GDNF的负调节因子。
