Dynamic expression and localization of c-MET isoforms in the developing rat pancreas.
Pancreata from Sprague Dawley rats of different developmental stages were studied to determine the expression and cellular localization of different c-MET isoforms in the developing rat pancreas. Pancreatic mRNA and protein expression levels of c-MET at different developmental stages from embryo to adult were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and by western blotting. T...
متن کاملExpression and localization of the renin-angiotensin system in the rat pancreas.
The possibility of an intrinsic renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the pancreas has been raised by previous studies in which immunohistochemical examination showed the presence of angiotensin II and its receptor subtypes, type 1 (AT1) and type 2 (AT2). In the present study, gene expression of several key RAS components was investigated by reverse-transcription PCR. mRNA expression for angiotensi...
متن کاملRat N-ERC/Mesothelin as a Marker for In Vivo Screening of Drugs against Pancreas Cancer
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a highly lethal disease, which is usually diagnosed in an advanced stage. We have established transgenic rats carrying a mutated K-ras gene controlled by Cre/loxP activation. The animals develop PDA which is histopathologically similar to that in humans. Previously, we reported that serum levels of N-ERC/mesothelin were significantly higher in rats bear...
متن کاملAngiotensinogen localization and secretion in the rat pancreas.
Renin and angiotensinogen have been previously found in the rat pancreas, and angiotensin receptors have been located in the apical domain of duct cells. To evaluate the possibility that angiotensin II could be generated within the duct system, we decided to determine whether angiotensinogen is present in rat pancreatic juice and the angiotensinogen-immunoreactive pancreatic cell types that cou...
متن کاملEarly expression of adenosine 5'-triphosphate-gated P2X7 receptors in the developing rat pancreas.
OBJECTIVES Extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate modulates the functions of the adult pancreas via 2 nucleotide receptor families, the P2X and P2Y receptors. Expression of the P2X7 receptor has been demonstrated in islet cells of the pancreas, particularly the mature alpha cells that secrete glucagon. In the streptozotocin-induced diabetic model, a loss of insulin-secreting cells was accompan...
