Experimental models of β-cell regeneration
The control of glucose metabolism by pancreatic endocrine cells throughout life relies on a tight regulation of the mass of insulin-producing beta-cells. How this homoeostasis is achieved is not well understood. Over the last few years, experimental rodent models with altered beta-cell mass, and, more recently, new transgenic approaches designed to tackle this problem, have provided abundant in...
متن کاملRegeneration of the pancreatic β cell
Type 1 diabetes is the result of an autoimmune attack against the insulin-producing β cells of the endocrine pancreas. Current treatment for patients with type 1 diabetes typically involves a rigorous and invasive regimen of testing blood glucose levels many times a day along with subcutaneous injections of recombinant DNA–derived insulin. Islet transplantation, even with its substantially impr...
متن کاملMangiferin Facilitates Islet Regeneration and β-Cell Proliferation through Upregulation of Cell Cycle and β-Cell Regeneration Regulators
Mangiferin, a xanthonoid found in plants including mangoes and iris unguicularis, was suggested in previous studies to have anti-hyperglycemic function, though the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. This study was designed to determine the therapeutic effect of mangiferin by the regeneration of β-cells in mice following 70% partial pancreatectomy (PPx), and to explore the mechanisms of ...
متن کاملVestibular regeneration – experimental models and clinical implications
Therapies aimed at the protection and/or regeneration of inner ear hair cells are of great interest, given the significant monetary and quality of life impact of balance disorders. Different viral vectors have been shown to transfect various cell types in the inner ear. The past decade has provided tremendous advances in the use of adenoviral vectors to achieve targeted treatment delivery. Seve...
متن کاملAge-Dependent Decline in β-Cell Proliferation Restricts the Capacity of β-Cell Regeneration in Mice
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to elucidate whether age plays a role in the expansion or regeneration of beta-cell mass. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed the capacity of beta-cell expansion in 1.5- and 8-month-old mice in response to a high-fat diet, after short-term treatment with the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analog exendin-4, or after streptozotocin (STZ) administration. ...
