Acceleration of Functional Maturation and Differentiation of Neonatal Porcine Islet Cell Monolayers Shortly In Vitro Cocultured with Microencapsulated Sertoli Cells
Figure 9
qPCR analysis of the indicated genes from NPI cell monolayers cocultivated in the presence of ESC for the indicated time periods. (a) PDX-1 (open bars), NeuroD (gray bars), Nkx6.1 (hatched bars), and c-kit (filled bars). (b) Insulin (open bars), Glut-2 (hatched bars), and GK (filled bars). The reported results are expressed as a percentage out of untreated control NPI cell monolayers. Data are shown as means ± SD from 3 samples.
