Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic acinar cells acquire in vitro a pancreatic progenitor phenotype associated with activation of p53, growth arrest and senescence. A similar program is also activated in chronic pancreatitis. To assess the mechanisms involved in this process, we cultured pancreatic acinar cells from wild-type, p53(-/-), p16(-/-) and p21(-/-) mice. Cultures from p53(-/-) mice, but not those from p16(-/-) or p21(-/-) mice,...
