Results
Specimen 3C: postnatal day 0 (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: pancreas pancreatic epsilon cell Present 3C
Specimen 3D: postnatal day 0; Arxtm1Gldn/?, Tg(Pdx1-cre)6Tuv/0 (more )
Note: Conditional mutant. Arxtm1Gldn/Arxtm1Gldn in female, Arxtm1Gldn/Y in male.
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: pancreas pancreatic epsilon cell Present 3D Similar as in the wild-type (quantified in Fig 3A).
Specimen 3E: postnatal day 0; Nkx2-2tm1Jlr/Nkx2-2tm1Jlr (more )
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: pancreas pancreatic epsilon cell Present 3E Dramatically increased number of positive cells, compared with the wild-type (quantified in Fig 3A).
Specimen 3F: postnatal day 0; Arxtm1Gldn/?, Nkx2-2tm1Jlr/Nkx2-2tm1Jlr, Tg(Pdx1-cre)6Tuv/0 (more )
Note: Conditional mutant. Arxtm1Gldn/Arxtm1Gldn in female, Arxtm1Gldn/Y in male.
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS27: pancreas pancreatic epsilon cell Present 3F Increased number of positive cells, compared with the wild-type, but no significant difference with that of the Nkx2-2 null (quantified in Fig 3A). When imaged with identical exposure time, the intensity of ghrelin expression was decreased compared with the Nkx2-2 null.
Specimen 5C: embryonic day 12.5 (more )
Note: Double labeled: red - Ghrl; green - Sst (assay MGI:8161699).
Structure Cell Type Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: pancreas pancreatic epsilon cell Present 5C No ghrelin+/somatostatin+ cells were seen.
