Activation of WNT signalling in the stomach correlates with the phenotype observed in FAP patients with intestinal-type adenomas. (a) Relative expression (qRT–PCR levels) of WNT target genes Achaete scute-like 2 (Ascl2), Cyclin D1 (Ccnd1), Leucine-rich-repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (Lgr5), Naked cuticle homologue 1 (Nkd1) and Axin2. mRNA levels were measured in whole stomach tissue from AhCreER+ GSK3 alphafl/fl betafl/fl (experimental) compared with AhCreER+ GSK3 alphafl/fl betafl/+ (control) mice at day 6 post-induction. P<0.001 apart from Nkd1 P<0.097. (b) IHC staining for β-catenin and Sox9 in gastric lesions from FAP patients. Left two panels, intestinal-type adenoma; right two panels, intestinal-type metaplasia. Scale bar, 10 μm.
