Ablation of Lgr5-positive cells in intestinal polyps from ApcMin;Lgr5DTR mice. Ablation of Lgr5-positive cells in intestinal polyps from ApcMin;Lgr5DTR mice

We performed RNAseq on intestinal polyps from diptheria toxin-treated ApcMin;Lgr5DTR mice to investigate the effect of an acute selective pressure on stem cell populations in intestinal lesions. Lgr5+ cells in the ApcMin;Lgr5DTR mice were ablated with a single intraperitoneal dose of diphtheria toxin in saline (50 μg/kg), and samples were collected after 24 hours and after 5 days. Untreated ApcMin mice were used as control. Intestinal polyps were excised and collected for RNA sequencing.
