EPC-CM treatment induces the expression of Carbonic Anhydrase 2 (Car2). RT-qPCR analysis of progenitor, endocrine and ductal markers reported to β-actin in pancreatic explants cultured for 3 days in control medium (Ctrl), EPC-CM (+CM) and in the presence of laminin-α1β1γ1 (+Lamα1β1γ1). EPC-CM and laminin-α1β1γ1 do not affect expression of progenitor (Prox1) and endocrine (Ins2 and Gcg) markers. Conversely, the treatments upregulate the expression of the ductal marker Car2, although the expression of the ductal transcription factors Sox9 and Hnf1β remain stable. (Mann-Whitney: ***p < 0.001).
