Pancreas-enriched miRNA refines endocrine cell differentiation.
Genome-encoded microRNAs (miRNAs) provide a post-transcriptional regulatory layer that is important for pancreas development. However, how specific miRNAs are intertwined into the transcriptional network, which controls endocrine differentiation, is not well understood. Here, we show that microRNA-7 (miR-7) is specifically expressed in endocrine precursors and in mature endocrine cells. We furt...
متن کاملCell Cycle–Dependent Differentiation Dynamics Balances Growth and Endocrine Differentiation in the Pancreas
Organogenesis relies on the spatiotemporal balancing of differentiation and proliferation driven by an expanding pool of progenitor cells. In the mouse pancreas, lineage tracing at the population level has shown that the expanding pancreas progenitors can initially give rise to all endocrine, ductal, and acinar cells but become bipotent by embryonic day 13.5, giving rise to endocrine cells and ...
متن کاملThe L6 domain tetraspanin Tm4sf4 regulates endocrine pancreas differentiation and directed cell migration.
The homeodomain transcription factor Nkx2.2 is essential for pancreatic development and islet cell type differentiation. We have identified Tm4sf4, an L6 domain tetraspanin family member, as a transcriptional target of Nkx2.2 that is greatly upregulated during pancreas development in Nkx2.2(-/-) mice. Tetraspanins and L6 domain proteins recruit other membrane receptors to form active signaling ...
متن کاملRoles of ATP-sensitive K+ channels in cell survival and differentiation in the endocrine pancreas.
To determine the roles of the ATP-sensitive K+ (K(ATP)) channels in endocrine pancreas more directly, two types of genetically engineered Kir6.2 mice were developed: mice expressing a dominant-negative form of Kir6.2 specifically in beta-cells (Kir6.2G132S Tg mice) and mice lacking Kir6.2 (Kir6.2-/- or Kir6.2 null mice). The Kir6.2G132S Tg mice show severe impairment of K(ATP) channel function ...
متن کاملCell transplantation therapy for diabetes mellitus: endocrine pancreas and adipocyte.
Experimental transplantation of endocrine tissues has led to significant advances in our understanding of endocrinology and metabolism. Endocrine cell transplantation therapy is expected to be applied to the treatment of metabolic endocriopathies. Restoration of functional pancreatic beta-cell mass or of functional adipose mass are reasonable treatment approaches for patients with diabetes or l...
