While progress has recently been made concerning cell differentiation of the islets of Langerhans, the mechanism controlling islet morphogenesis is not known. It is thought that these islets are formed by mature cell association, first differentiating in the primitive pancreatic epithelium, then migrating in the extracellular matrix, and finally associating into islets of Langerhans. This mechanism suggests that the extracellular matrix has to be degraded for proper islet morphogenesis. We demonstrated in the present study that during rat pancreatic development, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) is activated in vivo between E17 and E19 when islet morphogenesis occurs. We next demonstrated that when E12.5 pancreatic epithelia develop in vitro, MMP-2 is activated in an in vitro model that recapitulates endocrine pancreas development (Miralles, F., P. Czernichow, and R. Scharfmann. 1998. Development. 125: 1017\u20131024). On the other hand, islet morphogenesis was impaired when MMP-2 activity was inhibited. We next demonstrated that exogenous TGF-\u03b21 positively controls both islet morphogenesis and MMP-2 activity. Finally, we demonstrated that both islet morphogenesis and MMP-2 activation were abolished in the presence of a pan-specific TGF-\u03b2 neutralizing antibody. Taken together, these observations demonstrate that in vitro, TGF-\u03b2 is a key activator of pancreatic MMP-2, and that MMP-2 activity is necessary for islet morphogenesis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1083\/jcb.143.3.827","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,26]],"date-time":"2002-07-26T16:46:23Z","timestamp":1027701983000},"page":"827-836","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1083\/jcb.crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":143,"title":["TGF-\u03b2 Plays a Key Role in Morphogenesis of the Pancreatic Islets of Langerhans by Controlling the Activity of the Matrix Metalloproteinase MMP-2"],"prefix":"10.1083","volume":"143","author":[{"given":"Francisco","family":"Miralles","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut National de la Sant\u00e9 et de la Recherche M\u00e9dicale U457, Hospital R.
