A multipotent progenitor domain guides pancreatic organogenesis.
The mammalian pancreas is constructed during embryogenesis by multipotent progenitors, the identity and function of which remain poorly understood. We performed genome-wide transcription factor expression analysis of the developing pancreas to identify gene expression domains that may represent distinct progenitor cell populations. Five discrete domains were discovered. Genetic lineage-tracing ...
متن کاملStudies on Pancreatic Lipase
In the case of lipolytic enzymes practically nothing is known concerning the chemical nature of the groupings, in their molecules, which are associated with their peculiar activity. The precipitation experiments of Glick and King (1) suggest that either pancreatic lipase itself is a globulin or its activity is very intimately bound up with globulin. The work of Murray (2) indicates that the enz...
متن کاملTargeted oncogenesis of hormone-negative pancreatic islet progenitor cells.
Transgenic mice containing an upstream glucokinase (betaGK) promoter- simian virus 40 T antigen (Tag) fusion gene develop neuroendocrine tumors primarily in the pancreas, gut, and pituitary. Pancreatic tumors from a line with delayed tumorigenesis were of two different types: insulinomas and noninsulinomas. The noninsulinomas are often periductal in location, express none of the four major isle...
متن کاملFGFR1-IIIb is a putative marker of pancreatic progenitor cells
The pancreas develops from buds that derive from the endodermal epithelium of the digestive tract. The progenitor cells that will give rise to the mature pancreatic cells reside within this epithelium. However, their exact identity remains unknown. In the present study, we searched for genes expressed by pancreatic progenitor cells. We focused our search on receptor tyrosine kinases. We found t...
متن کاملDCAMKL-1: a new horizon for pancreatic progenitor identification.
TYPE 1 DIABETES RESULTS FROM the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic -cells. Although islet transplantation has shown great potential in the treatment of hyperglycemia in type 1 diabetes patients, availability of donor islets remains a major obstacle (4). Cell replacement strategies aimed at generating functional insulin-producing cells through differentiation of adult pancre...
