Pancreatic Rab11a/Rab11b dKO->
Aberrant polarized transport of apical/basolateral proteins->
AMIS supernumerary->
Defects in ductal #Lumenogenesis; Acinar morphogenesis; Pancreatic cell lineage dysregulation
Highly intriguing, PancRab11KO->⏬Sox9+ bipotent progenitor & #Islet mass-> #GlucoseIntolerance in suvived adult🐭
Lumenized epithelial paracrine or endocrine-autonomous defect?😆
No baseline change in fast glucose. Insulin/glucagon? Adult islet histology-Amyloid degeneration?
The branched, lumenized pancreatic duct is fragmented into disconnected Microlumens + enlarged Cyst in PancRab11KO🐭
Can't help but think Rab35 in anisotropic Lumenogenesis of liver #BileCanaliculi
Is there a primary hydro-osmotic defect here?😋
Still, what happens to pancreatic vascular morphogenesis in Panc-Rab11 KO🐭?(Surely, epithelia & endothelia are coupled🤪)
More importantly, now it's the magic timing if you also want to have such amazing stories
