(a) Quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis of amylase mRNA expression in 1 week post-injected β1 integrin-deficient and control mouse pancreas (n=3). Analysis of serum (b) and pancreatic protein (d) amylase and serum pancreatic lipase (c) in 7 weeks post-injected β1 integrin-deficient and control mice (n=3–10). Relative carboxypeptidase-A (CPA) (d) and regenerating islet-derived protein II (Reg-II) (e) protein expression in the pancreas of 7 weeks post-injected β1 integrin-deficient and control mice pancreas (n=4). Data are expressed as means±s.e.m. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs controls. Ctrl, control; KO, knockout.
