Forkhead Protein FoxO1 Acts as a Repressor to Inhibit Cell Differentiation in Human Fetal Pancreatic Progenitor Cells

Figure 1

Induction of human pancreatic progenitor cells. (a) Human fetal pancreatic progenitor cells of 10 week were cultured and induced for 1 week. RT-PCR analysis was used to evaluate the markers for stem cell and pancreatic β cell in cells before and after 1-week induction. GADPH was used as internal control. (b) Values were expressed as percentage of mRNA expression in cells of induction before (empty bars) and 1-week induction (black bars). Data are means ± SEM of 4 independent experiments per each group. or , or 0.01.
