Nicotinamide promotes differentiation of pancreatic endocrine progenitors from human pluripotent stem cells through poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibition
2020-04-22
Abstract excerpt
The generation of pancreatic endocrine progenitor cells is an important step in the differentiation of beta cells from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC). This stage is marked by the expression of Nkx6.1, a transcription factor with well understood downstream targets but with unclear upstream regulators. In hPSC differentiation, Nkx6.1 is strongly induced by nicotinamide, a derivative of vitamin B3, which has thr...
