Objective  The biological importance for the signaling of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and natriuretic peptide receptor B (NPR-B) has been recognized. However, the details remain unclear and are debatable. The  Npr2  is a gene of NPR-B, and we previously reported a unique phenotype of a spontaneous mutant mouse lacking  Npr2  ( Npr2   slw/slw  ), such as severe ileus-like disorder with bloodless blood vessels. In this study, we analyzed the bloodless mesenteric vascular morphology of  Npr2   slw/slw   by histological observation to clarify the effects of the CNP/NPR-B signal deficiency.    Results  Blood vessels in the mesentery were clearly dilated in the preweaning  Npr2   slw/slw   mice. Additionally, in the  Npr2   slw/slw   mice, the lacteals were partially dilation or randomly direction mucosal epithelial cells in villi, and mesenteric adipocytes were undeveloped. These findings provide important information for understanding the role of CNP/NPR-B signals on intestine with mesentery.
