Fig. 3. Plasma and S1P cannot induce growth/differentiation of mesenchyme-free
dorsal pancreatic endoderm. Isolated intact (A) or mesenchyme-stripped
wild-type 10.5 dpc dorsal pancreatic bud were cultured for 48 hours with
isolated 10.5 dorsal pancreatic mesenchyme (B), no addition (C), with beads
soaked in PBS (D), plasma (E), or 0.1 µM S1P (F) and stained with Pdx1
antibodies. Whereas the intact dorsal pancreatic bud (A) as well as
mesenchyme-free dorsal pancreatic bud endoderm recombined with dorsal
pancreatic mesenchyme (B) grew, mesenchyme-free dorsal pancreatic endoderm
failed to grow alone (C) or in the presence of PBS (D), plasma (E) and S1P
(F), respectively. Of note, in B the mesenchyme was lost during the staining
procedure. e and end, dorsal pancreatic endoderm; m and mes, dorsal pancreatic
mesenchyme; pla, plasma from 15.5 wild-type embryos. Scale bar: 50 µm.
