“…TGFβ, WNT, FGF, Notch, BMP, and FOXO1, along with relevant receptors and signaling pathways, are involved in pancreatic and intestinal tissue patterning (40,41). FOXO1 and Notch signaling interact in determining intestinal stem cell differentiation into Paneth/goblet (42) and EEC lineages (19,21,43). Thus, we combined genetic FoxO1 knockout with pharmacological Notch inhibition (DBZ) to show that dual Notch/FOXO1 inhibition expands the Neurog3 + progenitor pool and its secretory lineage cell descendants.…”
