Fig. 4. A summary of genes expressed in the pancreatic Pdx1-eGFP+ cells
and non-pancreatic cells at E10.5 (including Pdx1-eGFP+ cells of the stomach +
duodenum as well as PDX1-GFP cells). (A) Venn diagram
showing that 158 genes (green) were enriched in the eGFP+ cells
within the pancreatic region whereas 208 (red) genes were enriched in the
PDX1+ cells in the duodenum and stomach or eGFP-cells. (B-E)
Expression analyses of four genes by RT-PCR and in situ hybridization. ß
actin expression was used as a control. (B) Spintz1(Af010499) was highly
expressed in the pancreas and duodenum but not the stomach. (C) Tm4sf3
(AA571115) was expressed at a high level in the stomach and duodenum but not
the pancreas. (D) Nkx2.2 was expressed at a higher level in the
pancreas. (E) Osteopointin was only expressed in the pancreas. Black dashed
lines, stomach; green dashed lines, duodenum; red dashed lines, pancreas.
