Phenotypic Suppression

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or over expression of one gene results in suppression of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

Betacellulin stimulates growth of the mouse intestinal epithelium and increases adenoma multiplicity in Apc+/Min mice.

Dahlhoff M, Horst D, Gerhard M, Kolligs FT, Wolf E, Schneider MR

We employed transgenic mice overexpressing betacellulin (BTC) to study its effects in the gut. BTC stimulated crypt cell proliferation and markedly increased intestinal size, while the crypt-villus architecture was preserved. Introduction of a dominant negative epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) completely abolished the intestinal hyperplasia. BTC increased polyp multiplicity but did not change the mean size or the histological quality ... [more]
