Abstract:
BACKGROUND: To synthetically analyze the correlation between cytokeratin 19 and pancreas stem cells.DATA SOURCES:References about the correlation between cytokeratin 19 and pancreas stem cells were retrieved in Medline and Ovid database with the key words of "cytokeratin, pancreas, stem cells, marker, differentiation" in English from January 2000 to May 2006.STUDY SELECTION:Literatures about the correlation between cytokeratin 19 and pancreas stem cells were retrieved and those characterized by strong pertinency, published in the near future and selected from authoritative journals were selected in this paper.DATA EXTRACTION: Among 86 articles, 35 of them met the inclusion criteria and 51 were excluded.DATA SYNTHESIS:Pancreas stem cells are characterized by multi-directional differentiation.Cytokeratin 19 has a positive expression in pancreas stem cells and a molecular sign of pancreas stem cells. This provides a new way to further understand bionomics of pancreas stem cells,study separation,purification,transconformation and direction differentiation to islet cells, and treat diabetes mellitus with transplantation of pancreas stem cells.CONCLUSION: Expression of cytokeratin 19 is observed during the differentiation of pancreas stem cells and cytokeratin19 is a sign of pancreas stem cells.
