Figure 9. A conserved role of Src in intestinal regeneration and tumourigenesis.

Figure 9

dSrc42/c-Src is activated in response to damage and upon Wg/Wnt signalling upregulation within stem/progenitor cells of the adult Drosophila midgut and mouse small intestine leading to tissue hyperproliferation. Src knockdown prevents intestinal regeneration and tumourigenesis in both model systems. ISC/EB: intestinal stem cell/enteroblast; EC: enterocyte; ee: enteroendocrine cell; TA: transit-amplifying cell; Paneth: Paneth cell.
