Figure Lengend Snippet: Rheb1 promotes β cell proliferation only partly depend on the mTORC1. A: The population of 5-ethy-nyl-2’-deoxyuridine + cells of MIN6 cells treated with PWPI or Rheb1OE lentivirus with or without rapamycin treatment; B: The population of Ki67+ cells of insulin+ islet treated with GFP or Rheb1OE adenovirus with or without rapamycin treatment; C: Western blot analysis of C57 mice islets treated with GFP or Rheb1OE adenovirus for 48 hours with or without rapamycin treatment ( n = 3/group). All data are represented as the mean ± SD, a P < 0.05, b P < 0.001. NC: Negative control; Edu: 5-ethy-nyl-2’-deoxyuridine.
Article Snippet: The Rheb1 OE MIN6 cell line and its corresponding control were developed as follows: Full-length mouse Rheb1 cDNA (amino acids 1-185) was inserted into the PWPI plasmid from Addgene, which contains a C-terminal FLAG tag.
Techniques: Western Blot, Negative Control
