Abstract:
:The complex physiology of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract must permanently be adjusted according to the composition of ingested food, which requires continuous monitoring by appropriate sensory systems. Sensing the dietary constituents is thought to be mediated by chemosensory cells residing in the mucosa of the GI tract. We have examined the appearance and differentiation of candidate chemosensory cells at distinct postnatal stages and visualized cells that express gustducin or TRPM5. Two critical stages have been considered: the suckling period when the neonates are nourished exclusively on milk and the weaning period when the diet gradually changes to solid food. At early postnatal stages, only a few gustducin- or TRPM5-expressing cells have been found; they display an immature morphology. At the time of weaning, numerous gustducin- or TRPM5-positive cells are present in the gastric mucosa and are isomorphic to adult candidate chemosensory cells. The typical accumulation of gustducin and TRPM5 cells at the border between the forestomach and corpus region and the characteristic tissue fold or "limiting ridge" have not been observed at early postnatal stages but are complete at the time of weaning. The appearance of candidate chemosensory cells at the strategic position occurs within the last few days before weaning but after the formation of the limiting ridge. Thus, both the topographic arrangement of the cells and the limiting ridge seem to be important features for the processing of solid food in the mouse stomach.
