Nestin expression in pancreatic exocrine cell lineages
Expression of nestin has been suggested to be a characteristic of pancreatic islet stem cells. To determine whether nestin is indeed expressed in such putative cells during embryonic development, or in the adult pancreas after injury, we performed a cell lineage analysis using two independent lines of transgenic mice encoding Cre recombinase under the control of rat nestin cis-regulatory sequen...
متن کاملExocrine pancreatic adenocarcinoma in a toy breed dog
A 4-year-old female miniature pincher with a 40-day history of weight loss, lethargy and vomiting was referred to Small Animal Hospital, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Tehran. The case also had severe jaundice, chronic diarrhoea and steatorrhoea. The efforts for saving the life of the case were not successful and finally the animal died of hypovolaemic shock and electrolyte imbal...
متن کاملOrigin of exocrine pancreatic cells from nestin-positive precursors in developing mouse pancreas
During pancreatic development, endocrine and exocrine cell types arise from common precursors in foregut endoderm. However, little information is available regarding regulation of pancreatic epithelial differentiation in specific precursor populations. We show that undifferentiated epithelial precursors in E10.5 mouse pancreas express nestin, an intermediate filament also expressed in neural st...
متن کاملExocrine Pancreatic Carcinogenesis and Autotaxin Expression
Exocrine pancreatic cancer is an aggressive disease with an exceptionally high mortality rate. Genetic analysis suggests a causative role for environmental factors, but consistent epidemiological support is scarce and no biomarkers for monitoring the effects of chemical pancreatic carcinogens are available. With the objective to identify common traits for chemicals inducing pancreatic tumors we...
متن کاملMultipotential nestin-positive stem cells isolated from adult pancreatic islets differentiate ex vivo into pancreatic endocrine, exocrine, and hepatic phenotypes.
The endocrine cells of the rat pancreatic islets of Langerhans, including insulin-producing beta-cells, turn over every 40-50 days by processes of apoptosis and the proliferation and differentiation of new islet cells (neogenesis) from progenitor epithelial cells located in the pancreatic ducts. However, the administration to rats of islet trophic factors such as glucose or glucagon-like peptid...
