Mir34a knock out results in an inflammatory phenotype. (A) Average of the transdifferentiation rate of acinar cell explants from pancreata of KrasG12D; Mir34aΔ/Δ and KrasG12D mice into acini, duct-like and duct structures (N ≥ 3 per group). Unpaired Student’s t-test with combined SD. (B) RNA expression of members of the NFKB signalling pathway: Tnfa, Nfkb, Il6, and Nfkbia, in acinar cell explants directly after isolation (day 0) from KrasG12D; Mir34aΔ/Δ mice compared to KrasG12D controls. Welch’s t-test (N = 4 per group). (C) Immunohistochemistry staining for CD45 in tissue from KrasG12D; Mir34aΔ/Δ mice compared to KrasG12D controls. Scale bar 50 µm. (D) Quantification of CD45 positive cells per high power field in areas of normal tissue from KrasG12D; Mir34aΔ/Δ mice compared to KrasG12D controls (N ≥ 3 per group). (E) Immunohistochemistry staining for NFKB in tissue from KrasG12D; Mir34aΔ/Δ mice compared to KrasG12D controls. Scale bar 50 µm. (F) Quantification of NFKB positive nuclei from acinar cells in areas of normal tissue per high power field from KrasG12D; Mir34aΔ/Δ mice compared to KrasG12D controls (N ≥ 3 per group). (G) Immunohistochemistry staining for P-STAT3 in tissue from KrasG12D; Mir34aΔ/Δ mice compared to KrasG12D controls. Scale bar 50 µm. (H) Quantification of P-STAT3 positive nuclei from acinar cells in areas of normal tissue per high power field from KrasG12D; Mir34aΔ/Δ mice compared to KrasG12D controls (N ≥ 3 per group).
