doi: 10.1038/s41598-018-38062-9

Figure Lengend Snippet: Elastase-Cre-mediated Pdx1 inactivation reduces acinar TFF2 in embryonic and neonatal pancreas. ( A ) The expression of TFF2 was detected by RT-PCR in control mice pancreas from E16.5. The original data are shown in Supplementary Fig. . ( B ) Expression of TFF2 is significantly less in Pdx1cKO mice (red) than in control mice (blue). (control mice: n = 7 at E14.5, n = 5 at E16.5, n = 5 at E18.5, and n = 7 at P1; Pdx1cKO mice: n = 5 at E14.5, n = 6 at E16.5, n = 6 at E18.5, and n = 7 at P1; p = N.D at E14.5, p = 0.041 at E16.5, p = 0.0065 at E18.5 and p = 0.0040 at P1). Note that the expression of TFF2 in the mutant stomach is equivalent to that in control stomach at P1 (right panel) (control mice, n = 3, Pdx1cKOmice, n = 3, p = 0.68122). ( C ) Immunostaining of TFF2. TFF2 expression was detected in exocrine cells including the proximal (dotted lines) and distal ducts and acinar cells, but not in islets (arrows) in control mice (upper panels). In Pdx1cKO mice, TFF2 expression was hardly detectable except in the proximal ducts (dotted lines), which were not recombined by Elastase-Cre (bottom panels). These expression patterns were confirmed in at least three individual mice for both genotypes. Scale bars, 100 μm. Bars represent the mean value ± SE. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
