VillinCre-Blimpflox mice postpartum day 7
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In many mammalian species, the intestinal epithelium is immature at birth. During the suckling to weaning transition, the intestine matures. This developmental transition is the result of a genetic program that is intrinsic to the gut and independent of luminal content, but its regulators have not been identified. We investigated the function of the transcriptional repressor Blimp-1 using mice with intestine-specific ablation of Blimp-1. Deletion of Blimp-1 results in growth retardation and excess neonatal mortality. Mutant mice lack all typical epithelial features of the suckling period and are born with features of adult-like intestine.
