RESUMEN

Lgr4 and Lgr5 are known markers of adult and embryonic tissue stem cells in various organs. However, whether Lgr4 and Lgr5 are important for embryonic development remains unclear. To study their functions during intestinal crypt, skin and kidney development we now generated mice lacking either Lgr4 (Lgr4KO), Lgr5 (Lgr5KO) or both receptors (Lgr4/5dKO). E16.5 Lgr4KO mice displayed complete loss of Lgr5+/Olfm4+intestinal stem cells, compromised Wnt signaling and impaired proliferation and differentiation of gut epithelium. Similarly, E16.5 Lgr4KO mice showed reduced basal cell proliferation and hair follicle numbers in the developing skin, as well as dilated kidney tubules and ectatic Bowman׳s spaces. Although Lgr4KO and Lgr5KO mice both died perinatally, Lgr5 deletion did not compromise embryonic development of gut, kidney or skin. Concomitant deletion of Lgr4 and Lgr5 did not prevent perinatal lethality, in contrast to a previous report that suggested rescue of Lgr5 KO perinatal lethality by a hypomorphic Lgr4 mutant. While the double deletion did not further promote the phenotypes observed in Lgr4KO intestines, impaired kidney cell proliferation, reduced epidermal thickness, loss of Lgr5+follicular epithelium and impaired hair follicle development were only observed in Lgr4/5dKO mice. This supports complementary functions of both receptors. Our findings clearly establish the importance of Lgr4 and Lgr5 during embryonic gut, skin and kidney development, with a dominant role of Lgr4.
