PDX-1 Induces Differentiation of Intestinal Epithelioid IEC-6 Into Insulin-Producing Cells
1 Aug 2002
Abstract excerpt
A homeodomain containing transcription factor PDX-1 can induce beta-cell-specific gene expressions in some non-beta-cells and may therefore be useful for future diabetes gene/cell therapy. Among the potential target organs or tissues for transcription factor-mediated induction of beta-cell-like differentiation are the intestinal epithelial cells. They have certain merits over other tissues and organs in terms of...
