Figure | PDGFR-α regulates human β-cell EZH2 expression and proliferation. a, b, Representative images showing immunostaining for PDGFR-α (a), phospho-ERK1/2 (pERK1/2), phospho-RB-Ser 780 (pRB(Ser780)), EZH2 (b) and insulin (a and b) on pancreatic sections from juvenile and adult human subjects. PDGFR-α was detected in juvenile β-cells (arrows) but not in adult β-cells (arrowheads). Scale bars, 25 μm. c–f, Assessment of effects on human juvenile or adult islets after exposure to PDGF-AA (50 ng ml-1) for 2 days, with or without Sunitinib (2 μM) or U0126 (10 μM)co-treatment. c, Islet EZH2 mRNAlevels after the indicated treatments.
