Gene expression profile and functional analysis of the transplanted iSG. a Principal component analysis based on RNA-seq. The data are shown for iSGs on d23, transplanted iSGs, transplanted iSG with mesenchyme, ESCs, SMG at E13.5, E15.5, E18.5, and 6 weeks. The blue circle outline indicates transplanted iSGs with or without mesenchyme. b Time-course of the amount of saliva secretion in major salivary glands-defective mice (square) and combined iSG transplanted major salivary glands-defective mice (circle), every 1 min for 15 min after intraperitoneal injection of pilocarpine; n = 8 mice (iSG-transplanted); n = 4 mice (major salivary gland defect). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.001. c Assessment of the amount of saliva secretion in combined iSG-transplanted major salivary glands-defective mice for 8 min after water or gustatory (citric acid) stimulation; n = 4 mice (each group). *P = 0.034. d Venn diagram illustrating the proteins between iSG-derived saliva and whole saliva. n = 3 mice (each group). The results are presented as the mean ± S.D. Statistical analyses were performed using Student’s t-test
