Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have examined the expression and lozalization pattern of stem/progenitor cell marker, LGR5, in human and mouse pancreas. In the human and mouse pancreas, LGR5 is localized in a very limited subpopulation of cells in the pancreas together with other stem/progenitor cell marker such as BMI1. These stem/progenitor cell marker positive cells are also positive for exocrine cell marker amylase or endocrine cell marker insulin or glucagon. These finding suggest that in the human or mouse pancreas, there is no isolated stem/progenitor cells in the organ but the subpopulation of mature differentiated cells are the cells that are responsible for tissue repair/regeneration.
