Target type: biologicalprocess
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the stomach over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The stomach is an expanded region of the vertebrate alimentary tract that serves as a food storage compartment and digestive organ. [PMID:11967278]
Stomach development is a complex process that begins during embryonic development and continues throughout childhood. It involves the coordinated interaction of multiple signaling pathways, transcription factors, and cell types. The stomach arises from the foregut, a portion of the primitive digestive tube.
Early in development, the foregut forms a simple tube lined by endoderm. As development progresses, the stomach region undergoes significant morphogenesis, including:
1. **Dorsal and ventral curvature:** The stomach begins as a straight tube, but it soon bends into a C-shape due to differential growth rates along its dorsal and ventral surfaces. This curvature creates the greater and lesser curvatures of the stomach.
2. **Formation of the cardia, fundus, body, and pylorus:** The different regions of the stomach, including the cardia (the entrance), fundus (the dome-shaped upper region), body (the central region), and pylorus (the exit), differentiate and develop specific functions.
3. **Rotation and descent:** The stomach rotates along its longitudinal axis, bringing the pylorus to the right and the cardia to the left. This rotation contributes to the final position of the stomach in the abdomen.
4. **Gastric pit and gland formation:** The lining of the stomach undergoes invaginations to form gastric pits, which are lined by specialized epithelial cells. These pits develop into gastric glands, which produce gastric juice, a mixture of hydrochloric acid, enzymes, and mucus that helps digest food.
**Key signaling pathways and transcription factors involved in stomach development:**
- **Wnt signaling:** Plays a crucial role in the establishment of the stomach primordium and its regionalization.
- **Shh signaling:** Regulates the formation of the pylorus and the development of smooth muscle cells.
- **Bmp signaling:** Influences the differentiation of epithelial cells in the stomach.
- **Hox genes:** Control the anterior-posterior patterning of the foregut, including the stomach.
- **Sox genes:** Regulate the development of muscle cells in the stomach.
- **Pitx2:** A transcription factor essential for the formation of the stomach and its specific regions.
**Cellular differentiation in the stomach:**
The stomach lining is composed of various cell types, each with a specific function:
- **Surface mucous cells:** Secrete mucus that protects the stomach lining from acid and enzymes.
- **Parietal cells:** Secrete hydrochloric acid, which helps activate digestive enzymes and kill bacteria.
- **Chief cells:** Secrete pepsinogen, a precursor to the enzyme pepsin that breaks down proteins.
- **Endocrine cells:** Secrete hormones such as gastrin, somatostatin, and histamine that regulate gastric function.
Stomach development is a tightly regulated process that is essential for proper digestion and nutrient absorption. Defects in these processes can lead to various developmental abnormalities and diseases.'"
