Uncovering Factors Related to Pancreatic Beta-Cell Function
AIM The incidence of type 2 diabetes has increased rapidly on a global scale. Beta-cell dysfunction contributes to the overall pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. However, factors contributing to beta-cell function are not clear. The aims of this study were (i) to identify factors related to pancreatic beta-cell function and (ii) to perform mechanistic studies in vitro. METHODS Three specific me...
متن کاملAutonomic dysfunction is related to impaired pancreatic beta cell function in patients with coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVE To assess the role of beta cell failure in the development of autonomic dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease. DESIGN Autonomic function was measured by standard clinical methods and by heart rate variability in 24 type II diabetic and 24 non-diabetic subjects with coronary artery disease. Quantitative estimates of pancreatic beta cell function (%beta) and insulin res...
متن کاملEPConDB: a web resource for gene expression related to pancreatic development, beta-cell function and diabetes
EPConDB (http://www.cbil.upenn.edu/EPConDB) is a public web site that supports research in diabetes, pancreatic development and beta-cell function by providing information about genes expressed in cells of the pancreas. EPConDB displays expression profiles for individual genes and information about transcripts, promoter elements and transcription factor binding sites. Gene expression results ar...
متن کاملAge-Related Impairment of Pancreatic Beta-Cell Function: Pathophysiological and Cellular Mechanisms
The incidence of type 2 diabetes significantly increases with age. The relevance of this association is dramatically magnified by the concomitant global aging of the population, but the underlying mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. Here, some recent advances in this field are reviewed at the level of both the pathophysiology of glucose homeostasis and the cellular senescence of pancreati...
متن کاملAge-Related Mitochondrial DNA Depletion and the Impact on Pancreatic Beta Cell Function
Type 2 diabetes is characterised by an age-related decline in insulin secretion. We previously identified a 50% age-related decline in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number in isolated human islets. The purpose of this study was to mimic this degree of mtDNA depletion in MIN6 cells to determine whether there is a direct impact on insulin secretion. Transcriptional silencing of mitochondrial tra...
