Fig.1. Murine MSC strongly express the G6PT component of the glucose-6-phosphatase system.
Total RNA was extracted from mouse MSC, mouse liver, and from mouse pancreas as described in the Methods section. cDNA synthesis and semi-quantitative RT-PCR were performed to assess gene expression of the glucose-6-phosphate transporter (G6PT), the glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit α (G6PC), the islet-specific glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit-related protein (G6PC-2), and the glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit β (G6PC-3).
