Cadherins in islet β-cells: more than meets the eye.
In 1975, Orci et al. (1) reported that human islet cells contain specialized membrane domains that are compatible with the ultrastructural features of two types of intercellular junctions: tight junctions and gap junctions. Since then, numerous reports have demonstrated critical functions for these cell–cell junctional complexes in islet cells (2–8). Eventually, a number of proteins were identi...
متن کاملAdipsin Is an Adipokine that Improves β Cell Function in Diabetes
A hallmark of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the development of pancreatic β cell failure, which results in insulinopenia and hyperglycemia. We show that the adipokine adipsin has a beneficial role in maintaining β cell function. Animals genetically lacking adipsin have glucose intolerance due to insulinopenia; isolated islets from these mice have reduced glucose-stimulated insulin secretio...
متن کاملMALT lymphoma meets stem cells
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas are a distinct clinico-pathologic entity mainly associated with chromosomal translocations involving the MALT1 gene. Therefore, these chromosomal rearrangements have been traditionally used to identify tumor MALT lymphoma B-cells, and they have always been detected in differentiated tumoral B cells. However, the hematopoietic progenitor and ste...
متن کاملEffect of Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) on proliferation of gastric epithelial cells in culture
Objective: Helicobacter pylori has a well-established role in the development of gastric cancer. In vitro studies reveal increased proliferation of the gastric mucosa in the presence of H. pylori infection. It has been also shown that production of some cytokines, such as interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b) is in...
متن کاملExpression of FABP4, adipsin and adiponectin in Paneth cells is modulated by gut Lactobacillus
We here found that intestinal epithelial Paneth cells secrete FABP4, adipsin and adiponectin in both mice and human. Deletion of Paneth cell results in the decrease of FABP4, adipsin and adiponectin not only in intestinal crypt cells but also in sera, suggesting that they may influence the state of the whole body. We also demonstrate that expression of FABP4, adipsin and adiponectin may be modu...
