Pancreatic duodenal homeobox-1 and islet neogenesis-associated protein: A possible combined marker of activateable pancreatic cell precursors

The aim of this work was to study the possible relationship between pancreatic duodenal homeobox-1 (Pdx-1) and islet neogenesis-associated protein (INGAP) during induced islet neogenesis. Pregnant hamsters were fed with (S) and without (C) sucrose, and glycemia, insulin secretion <i>in vitro&l...

description The aim of this work was to study the possible relationship between pancreatic duodenal homeobox-1 (Pdx-1) and islet neogenesis-associated protein (INGAP) during induced islet neogenesis. Pregnant hamsters were fed with (S) and without (C) sucrose, and glycemia, insulin secretion <i>in vitro</i>, and pancreas immunomorphometric parameters were measured in their 7-day-old offspring. S offspring had significantly lower glycemic levels than C animals. Insulin release in response to increasing glucose contrations in the incubation medium (2-16 mM glucose) did not increase in pancreata from either C or S offspring. However, pancreata from S offspring released more insulin than those from C animals. In S offspring, β-cell mass, β-cell replication rate and islet neogenesis increased significantly, with a simultaneous decrease in β-cell apoptotic rate. INGAP- and Pdx-1-positive cell mass also increased in the islets and among acinar and duct cells. We found two subpopulations of Pdx-1 cells: INGAP-positive and INGAP-negative. Pdx-1/INGAP-positive cells did not stain with insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, pancreatic polypeptide, or neurogenin 3 antibodies. The increment of Pdx-1/INGAP-positive cells represented the major contribution to the Pdx-1 cell mass increase. Such increments varied among pancreas subsectors: ductal>insular>extrainsular. Our results suggested that INGAP participates in the regulation of islet neogenesis, and Pdx-1/INGAP-positive cells represent a new stem cell subpopulation at an early stage of development, highly activateable in neogenesis.
