PDX-1 (pdx-1) null mutation in mice results in failure of pancreatic bud outgrowth beyond initial formation; the dorsal bud forms but undergoes only limited proliferation without insulin or amylase-positive cells, demonstrating PDX-1 is required for pancreatic progenitor proliferation and differentiation. Additionally, the rostral duodenum shows loss of normal columnar epithelium replaced by GLUT2-positive cuboidal epithelium. |
