Purpose: Notch and Wnt/β-catenin signaling are responsible for regulation of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) proliferation and differentiation. The purpose of the study was to evaluate Wnt/β-catenin and Notch signaling roles in regulation of ISC differentiation following ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in a rat.

Methods: Rats were assigned into two groups: Sham rats underwent laparotomy without vascular intervention and IR rats underwent occlusion of SMA and portal vein for 20 min followed by 48 h of reperfusion.
