Abstract
⺠The transcription factor Gfi1b defines the brush cell lineage and its progenitors. ⺠Enforced Notch signaling reduces but does not eliminate brush cell formation. ⺠Brush cell numbers increase dramatically in Atoh1-deficient epithelium. ⺠Brush cells are not a granulocytic (secretory) or columnar (absorptive) lineage. ⺠Hes1, Atoh1, and Gfi1b form a fate-determining Notch signaling driven ternary switch.
