qPCR analysis of the expression of progenitor (A, B) and differentiation (C, D) markers. RGDSP and TWSKV significantly downregulated the expression of progenitor marker KRT5 (A). mRNA levels of progenitor marker KRT14 (B), acinar marker AMY1 (C) and ductal marker TFCP2L1 (D) are not significantly regulated by conjugated peptides. Error bars represent standard error of the mean in all cases. *: Significance determined using a one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey test, p<0.05.
