Abstract	The transcription factor encoded by the Pdx1 gene is a critical transcriptional regulator, as it has fundamental actions in the formation of all pancreatic cell types, islet ß-cell development, and adult islet ß-cell function. Transgenic- and cell line-based experiments have identified 5'-flanking conserved sequences that control pancreatic and ß-cell type-specific transcription, which are found within areas I (bp -2694 to -2561), II (bp -2139 to -1958), III (bp -1879 to -1799), and IV (bp -6200 to -5670). Because of the presence in area IV of binding sites for transcription factors associated with pancreas development and islet cell function, we analyzed how an endogenous deletion mutant affected Pdx1 expression embryonically and postnatally. The most striking result was observed in male Pdx1(?IV) mutant mice after 3 weeks of birth (i.e., the onset of weaning), with only a small effect on pancreas organogenesis and no deficiencies in their female counterparts. Compromised Pdx1 mRNA and protein levels in weaned male mutant ß-cells were tightly linked with hyperglycemia, decreased ß-cell proliferation, reduced ß-cell area, and altered expression of Pdx1-bound genes that are important in ß-cell replication, endoplasmic reticulum function, and mitochondrial activity. We discuss the impact of these novel findings to Pdx1 gene regulation and islet ß-cell maturation postnatally.

Scholarly citation norms must be followed for content reuse.

Please note that the acknowledgment text includes a Research Resource Identifier (RRID) for the MMPC-Live CU and Centers. Reproducibility is one of the corner stones of effective, open and transparent biomedical published research. However, too often, resources (e.g. model organisms, antibodies, and tools) are not reported with adequate detail to ensure others can replicate or expand upon the published results. The Research Resource Identification Initiative (#RII) seeks to change these limitations in reporting by the use of unique Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs). This initiative is designed to encourage authors to provide identification of the types of resources used in their research by adding a globally unique accession number to the resources described in the their manuscripts. These identifiers, called RRIDs, will allow authors to cite the resources that they use in their manuscripts. RRIDs allow for easy tracking of all papers that have used the same resource making it easy to access how the same resources works in other scenarios.

It is expected that MMPC-Live users follow scholarly citation norms, giving credit to fellow scholars when accessing/using protocols and data, including data derived by MMPC-Live (such as summary data) and any plots, tables or screenshots depicting those data.
