Pdx1

Pdx1

Pdx1 (Pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1), also known as insulin promoter factor 1, is a transcription factor necessary for pancreatic development and β-cell maturation. "Pdx1", otherwise known as "Ipf1", is the human gene encoding it.cite journal | author = Stoffel M, Stein R, Wright CV, Espinosa R, Le Beau MM, Bell GI | title = Localization of human homeodomain transcription factor insulin promoter factor 1 (IPF1) to chromosome band 13q12.1 | journal = Genomics | volume = 28 | issue = 1 | pages = 125–6 | year = 1995 | month = July | pmid = 7590740 | doi = 10.1006/geno.1995.1120 | url = | issn = ]

Function

Pancreatic development

In embryonic development, Pdx1 is expressed by a population of cells in the posterior foregut region of the definitive endoderm, and Pdx1+ epithelial cells give rise to the developing pancreatic buds, and eventually, the whole of the pancreas—its exocrine, endocrine, and ductal cell populations.cite journal | author = D'Amour KA, Bang AG, Eliazer S, Kelly OG, Agulnick AD, Smart NG, Moorman MA, Kroon E, Carpenter MK, Baetge EE | title = Production of pancreatic hormone-expressing endocrine cells from human embryonic stem cells | journal = Nat. Biotechnol. | volume = 24 | issue = 11 | pages = 1392–401 | year = 2006 | month = November | pmid = 17053790 | doi = 10.1038/nbt1259 | url = | issn = ] Pancreatic Pdx1+ cells first arise at mouse embryonic day 8.5-9.0 (E8.5-9.0), and Pdx1 expression continues until E12.0-E12.5,cite journal | author = Stanger BZ, Tanaka AJ, Melton DA | title = Organ size is limited by the number of embryonic progenitor cells in the pancreas but not the liver | journal = Nature | volume = 445 | issue = 7130 | pages = 886–91 | year = 2007 | month = February | pmid = 17259975 | doi = 10.1038/nature05537 | url = | issn = ] after which Pdx1 expression decreases and the pancreas is formed—other transcription factors are expressed, controlling the fates of the cells of the newly-formed pancreas.cite journal | author = Liew CG, Shah NN, Briston SJ, Shepherd RM, Khoo CP, Dunne MJ, Moore HD, Cosgrove KE, Andrews PW | title = PAX4 enhances beta-cell differentiation of human embryonic stem cells | journal = PLoS ONE | volume = 3 | issue = 3 | pages = e1783 | year = 2008 | pmid = 18335054 | pmc = 2262135 | doi = 10.1371/journal.pone.0001783 | url = | issn = ] Homozygous "Pdx1" knockout mice form pancreatic buds but fail to develop a pancreas, and transgenic mice in which tetracycline application results in death of Pdx1+ cells are almost completely apancreatic if doxycycline (tetracycline derivative) is administered throughout the pregnancy of these transgenic mice, illustrating the necessity of Pdx1+ cells in pancreatic development.

β-cell Maturation

Pdx1 is also necessary for β-cell maturation: developing β-cells co-express Pdx1, Nkx6-1, and insulin, a process that results in the silencing of MafB and the expression of MafA, a necessary switch in maturation of β-cells. Pdx1 appears to also play a role in the fating of endocrine cells, encoding for insulin and somatostatin, two pancreatic endocrine products, while repressing glucagon. Thus, Pdx1 expression appearantly favors the production of insulin+ β-cells and somatostatin+Δ-cells rather than glucagon+ α-cells.

Transcriptional Network

Pdx1+ pancreatic progenitor cells also co-express Hlxb9, Hnf6, Ptf1a and Nkx6-1, and these progenitor cells form the initial pancreatic buds, which further proliferate and branch in response to FGF-10 signaling. Afterwards, fating of the pancreatic cells begins; a population of cells has Notch signaling inhibited, and subsequently, expresses Ngn3. This Ngn3+ population is a transient population of pancreatic endocrine progenitors that gives rise to the α, β, Δ, PP, and ε cells of the Islets of Langerhans. Other cells will give rise to the exocrine and ductal pancreatic cell populations.

Pathology

Mutations in the "Pdx1" gene may be involved in several pancreatic pathologies, possibly diabetes mellitus.cite web | title = Entrez Gene: PDX1 pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1| url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=3651| accessdate = ]
