• endocrine differentiation is not completely abrogated, as some chromogranin A stained cells expressing EGFP are detected; some endocrine cells express PPY, with a few expressing glucagon or coexpressing PYY, but no insulin-, somatostatin-, or PP-expressing cells are observed
|
• in contrast to normal pancreata where Neurog3-positive cells generate individual or pairs of duct cells, most EGFP-labeled cells are duct cells with Notch activation in 2-day old mice; no cells expressing both duct and endocrine markers are detected
• total numbers of duct cells are comparable to controls, but with Notch-activation, the fraction fated to duct lineage is substantially increased relative to cells fated to endocrine lineage

• islets fail to develop
