Regenerating Salivary Glands in the Microenvironment of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Figure 8

Gene expression of salivary gland cells in regenerated SMGs between SG and iSG. Gene expression of Sox2 (a), c-Myc (b), and Nanog (c) was decreased in iSG, and gene expression of Klf4 (d) was increased in iSG. Aqp5 (e) gene expression was increased in iSG, but Amy (f) and M3r (g) gene expression were not detected by qPCR, similar to early embryonic SMG cells. versus control.
