Review: Pancreatic β-Cell Neogenesis Revisited
Beta-cell neogenesis triggers the generation of new beta-cells from precursor cells. Neogenesis from duct epithelium is the most currently described and the best documented process of differentiation of precursor cells into beta-cells. It is contributes not only to beta-cell mass expansion during fetal and nonatal life but it is also involved in the maintenance of the beta-cell mass in adults. ...
متن کاملDecompensation of β-Cells in Diabetes: When Pancreatic β-Cells Are on ICE(R)
Insulin production and secretion are temporally regulated. Keeping insulin secretion at rest after a rise of glucose prevents exhaustion and ultimately failure of β-cells. Among the mechanisms that reduce β-cell activity is the inducible cAMP early repressor (ICER). ICER is an immediate early gene, which is rapidly induced by the cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling cascade. The seminal function of ICER...
متن کاملGlucolipotoxicity in Pancreatic β-Cells
The recent epidemic of type 2 diabetes in Asia differs from that reported in other regions of the world in several key areas: it has evolved over a much shorter time, in an earlier stage of life, and in people with lower body mass indices. These phenotypic characteristics of patients strongly suggest that insulin secretory defects may perform a more important function in the development and pro...
متن کاملβ-Cells Are Not Generated in Pancreatic Duct Ligation–Induced Injury in Adult Mice
The existence of adult β-cell progenitors remains the most controversial developmental biology topic in diabetes research. It has been reported that β-cell progenitors can be activated by ductal ligation-induced injury of adult mouse pancreas and apparently act in a cell-autonomous manner to double the functional β-cell mass within a week by differentiation and proliferation. Here, we demonstra...
متن کاملSilymarin induces expression of pancreatic Nkx6.1 transcription factor and β-cells neogenesis in a pancreatectomy model.
A physio-pathological feature of diabetes mellitus is a significant reduction of β-pancreatic cells. The growth, differentiation and function maintenance of these cells is directed by transcription factors. Nkx6.1 is a key transcription factor for the differentiation, neogenesis and maintenance of β-pancreatic cells. We reported that silymarin restores normal morphology and endocrine function o...
