Gene expression in the adapting small bowel after massive small bowel resection

Abstract

Background

Intestinal adaptation occurs in the residual bowel following the loss or resection of a proportion of the small bowel. The purpose of the adaptive response is to return absorptive and digestive properties to near normal levels. This study employed a rat model of massive small bowel resection (MSBR) to study the adaptive response in the residual terminal ileum and the jejunum. The time points were chosen to reflect changes in gene expression early on in the response, because these are the genes that alter to initiate and maximize the response observed during adaptation.

Methods

Sprague Dawley rats underwent an 80% resection. Differential display polymerase chain reaction (DD-PCR) analysis was performed on mRNA extracted from the remnant ileum and jejunum 0, 1, 2, 4, and 7 days post-MSBR.

Results

DD-PCR identified 11 genes that were possibly regulated following MSBR. Genes confirmed to be regulated were 16S ribosomal RNA, lymphocyte antigen 6 (LY6)-like molecule, Krüppel-like factor-3 (KLF-3), G-protein-binding protein (CRFG), system A transporter 2 (SAT2), and an intestine-specific gene (similar to mKIAA0493).

Conclusions

DD-PCR analysis showed regulation of a number of genes not previously known to be involved in adaptation after MSBR or previously characterized in the intestine. These genes may be important in bringing about the complement of changes seen during the adaptive response.
