Neurog3Cre-mediated exogenous Pdx1 expression. (A) Schematic presentation of CAG-CAT-Pdx1 and R26REYFP and Cre recombination. Exogenous Flag-tagged Pdx1 (Flag-Pdx1) and EYFP expression is activated after CAT or STOP cassette excision. (B–E) FlagPdx1 was only detected in the Neurog3Cre-Pdx1OE pancreas. No Gcg was detected in adult Neurog3Cre-Pdx1OE. (F,G) Increased Pdx1+ cells were detected in E14.5 Neurog3Cre-Pdx1OE compared with control. (H,I) Ectopic Pdx1 in Gcg+ cells in Neurog3Cre-Pdx1OE but not control (dashed lines in insets; white, Pdx1).
