Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor null mice exhibit compensatory changes in the enteroinsular axis.
The incretins glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are gut hormones that act via the enteroinsular axis to potentiate insulin secretion from the pancreas in a glucose-dependent manner. Both GLP-1 receptor and GIP receptor knockout mice (GLP-1R(-/-) and GIPR(-/-), respectively) have been generated to investigate the physiological importance of th...
متن کاملCiliogenesis and left-right axis defects in forkhead factor HFH-4-null mice.
Cilia have been classified as sensory or motile types on the basis of functional and structural characteristics; however, factors important for regulation of assembly of different cilia types are not well understood. Hepatocyte nuclear factor-3/forkhead homologue 4 (HFH-4) is a winged helix/forkhead transcription factor expressed in ciliated cells of the respiratory tract, oviduct, and ependyma...
متن کاملEpigenetic Disregulation in Oral Cancer
Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral region (OSCC) is one of the most common and highly aggressive malignancies worldwide, despite the fact that significant results have been achieved during the last decades in its detection, prevention and treatment. Although many efforts have been made to define the molecular signatures that identify the clinical outcome of oral cancers, OSCC still lacks relia...
متن کاملNeuroD-null mice are deaf
As is the case in Drosophila neurogenesis, many basic helixloop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors are implicated in vertebrate neurogenesis. NeuroD is a bHLH protein that is widely expressed in both the central and peripheral nervous systems (CNS and PNS) in vertebrates (Lee et al., 1995). NeuroD has been shown to be a potent neuronal differentiation factor, as evidenced by its gain-of-functio...
متن کاملImpaired angiogenesis in aminopeptidase N-null mice.
Aminopeptidase N (APN, CD13; EC 3.4.11.2) is a transmembrane metalloprotease with several functions, depending on the cell type and tissue environment. In tumor vasculature, APN is overexpressed in the endothelium and promotes angiogenesis. However, there have been no reports of in vivo inactivation of the APN gene to validate these findings. Here we evaluated, by targeted disruption of the APN...
