Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gene expression in the early stage of the transition to intestinal metaplasia in human gastric mucosa has not been determined. In this study, we investigated the temporal relationship between cell lineage changes and intestine-specific gene expression in the process leading to intestinal metaplasia, using Cdx2-transgenic mice. METHODS: Cellular phenotypes were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and were...
