BackgroundNotch/Hes1 signaling has been shown to play a role in determining the fate of pancreatic progenitor cells. However, its function in postnatal pancreatic maturation is not fully elucidated.MethodsWe generated conditionalHes1knockout and/or Notch intracellular domain (NICD) overexpression mice in Ptf1a- or Pdx1-positive pancreatic progenitor cells and analyzed pancreatic tissues.ResultsBothPtf1acre/+; Hes1f/fandPtf1acre/+; Rosa26NICDmice showed normal pancreatic development at P0. However, exocrine tissue of the pancreatic tail inPtf1acre/+; Hes1f/fmice atrophied and was replaced by fat tissue by 4 weeks of age, with increased apoptotic cells and fewer centroacinar cells. This impaired exocrine development was completely rescued by NICD overexpression inPtf1acre/+; Hes1f/f; Rosa26NICDmice, suggesting compensation by a Notch signaling pathway other than Hes1. Conversely,Pdx1-Cre; Hes1f/fmice showed impaired postnatal exocrine development in both the pancreatic head and tail, revealing that the timing and distribution of embryonic Hes1 expression affects postnatal exocrine tissue development.ConclusionsNotch signaling has an essential role in pancreatic progenitor cells for the postnatal maturation of exocrine tissue, partly through the formation of centroacinar cells.
