• transgene expression, following exposure to tamoxifen, rescues pancreatic acinar cells from dilation of acini lumens, loss of actin cytoskeleton, loss of connexin32-containing gap junctions, impaired exocytosis, autophagic vacuoles and decreases in acini cell size seen in homozygous Bhlha15tm3(cre/ERT2)Skz mice
• transgene expression, following exposure to tamoxifen, allows acinar cells to re-establish apical-basal polarity disrupted in homozygous Bhlha15tm3(cre/ERT2)Skz mice; zymogen granules localize to apical pole and increase in size to wild-type diameters
