Abstract: The
prevalence of the Reg family proteins in mammals, particularly in damaged or inflamed
tissues, suggests important biological role(s) of these proteins that re-mains unclear
to date. In this thesis, the efficacy was evaluated of the murine pan-creatic cell lines
266-6 acinar cells, MIN6 insulinoma cells and β-TC insulinoma cells, as in vitro
models for studying the function of Re... read moreg proteins. The PANC-1 and CAPAN-1 cell lines were
also evaluated as models of human pancreatic can-cer for investigation of Reg proteins
in this context. Recombinant Reg protein was produced in yeast and characterized by
liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), western blotting, and functional
assays. This allowed the evaluation of possible modes of regulation of Reg expression
and pertinent signaling.
