Mécanismes impliqués dans la spécification et la détermination des différents types cellulaires pancréatiques pendant l'ontogenèse.

Système digestif d'une souris transgénique EGFP

Nous étudions les mécanismes impliqués dans la spécification et la détermination des différents types cellulaires pancréatiques pendant l'ontogenèse. En particulier, nous sommes intéressés à l'origine des cellules produisant l'insuline. Ces études sont réalisées grâce à la production de souris transgéniques, dans le cadre de 3 projets différents. 1) Dans le but d'étudier les lignages cellulaires des îlots de Langerhans, nous marquons les cellules progénitrices, dans des souris doublement transgéniques, avec le système Cre / loxP. En effet, il est possible marquer des cellules souches irréversiblement (génétiquement) avec l'activité de la recombinase Cre. Le gène rapporteur (portant les séquences loxP) ainsi modifié est ensuite analysé dans les îlots adultes. 2)Les cellules en voie de différenciation doivent faire des choix qui sont déterminés, en partie au moins, par la voie de signalisation de Notch. Nous avons généré plusieurs lignées de souris dans lesquelles Notch1 a été inactivé sélectivement dans un ou plusieurs types cellulaires pancréatiques. 3) La capacité de régénération de nouveaux îlots dans le pancréas adulte est étudiée et comparée aux processus, déjà connus en partie, prenant place au cours du développement embryonnaire.
