Transgenic overexpression of the transcription factor Nkx6.1 in β-cells of mice does not increase β-cell proliferation, β-cell mass, or improve glucose clearanceAshleigh E Schaffer
Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, The University of California, San Diego, USA
Mol Endocrinol 25:1904-14. 2011..Thus, raising cellular Nkx6.1 levels in β-cells in vivo is unlikely to have a positive impact on type 2 diabetes...
Progenitor cell domains in the developing and adult pancreasJanel L Kopp
Departments of Pediatrics and Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA
Cell Cycle 10:1921-7. 2011..Based upon the combined evidence from these studies, we propose that multipotency is associated with a specific transcriptional signature...
Nkx6 transcription factors and Ptf1a function as antagonistic lineage determinants in multipotent pancreatic progenitorsAshleigh E Schaffer
Department of Pediatrics, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA
Dev Cell 18:1022-9. 2010..Thus, cross-antagonism between Nkx6 and Ptf1a in multipotent progenitors governs the equilibrium between endocrine and acinar cell neogenesis required for normal pancreas development...

- Nkx6 gene function in pancreas developmentMaike Sander; Fiscal Year: 2007..Using selective inactivation of Nkx6 genes in beta-cells, it will be studied if NKX6 factors control aspects of beta-cell function, such as insulin synthesis or insulin secretion. ..
- Mechanisms of cell regeneration in the pancreasMaike Sander; Fiscal Year: 2009..This will be tested by transcriptional profiling of isolated cells and by tracking their fate in cell transplantation experiments. ..
