Attenuated GRP94 expression in nondiabetic elderly individuals influences beta cell identity. (A) Representative images of pancreatic section staining for GRP94 (red), insulin (green), and Dapi (blue) in young, middle-aged, and elderly groups. (B) Quantitative analysis of GRP94 intensity in young, middle-aged, and elderly groups; correlation of quantified GRP94 expression with age. (C) Immunoblot showed expression of GRP94 protein in ShGRP94 cells; band intensities normalized based on the corresponding TUBULIN intensity (n = 3). (D) Relative mRNA expression of transcription factors, genes involved in beta cell function, and progenitor cells in shGRP94 cells (n = 4). Scale bars, 20 μm. Data present means ± SD. The r of Pearson correlation and P values were shown in each panel. n = 7 in the young group, n = 4 in Middle-aged group, n = 6 in Elderly group. *P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001.
