Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived from Human Exocrine Pancreas Spontaneously Express Pancreas Progenitor-Cell Markers in a Cell-Passage-Dependent Manner

<div>Key pancreatic transcription factors expressed in hpMSCs. Pdx1, Ngn3, and MafA are key transcription factors involved in pancreas development and pancreas progenitor-cell differentiation into <i>β</i>-cells. (a) Pdx1-, (b) Ngn3-, and (c) MafA-positive immunofluorescence staining results in the nucleus of hpMSCs during passage 6. Scale bar = 100 <i>μ</i>m.</div>
