Stage-specific transcriptomic changes in pancreatic α-cells after massive β-cell loss

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Loss of pancreatic insulin-secreting β-cells due to metabolic or autoimmune damage leads to the development of diabetes. The discovery that α-cells can be efficiently reprogrammed into insulin-secreting cells in mice and humans has opened ...

The Combined Expression of and with Either or Improves the Differentiation Efficiency of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells into Insulin-Producing Cells

Cell Transplantation, 2013
The use of pancreatic β-cells differentiated from embryonic stem (ES) cells or induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells is a promising strategy in cell therapy. Pancreatic β-cell development is regulated by the sequential expression of a molecular network of

Generation of human islet cell type-specific identity genesets

Nature Communications, 2022
Generation of surrogate cells with stable functional identities is crucial for developing cell-based therapies. Efforts to produce insulin-secreting replacement cells to treat diabetes require reliable tools to assess islet cellular identity.

Human Insulin Secreted from Insulinogenic Xenograft Restores Normoglycemia in Type 1 Diabetic Mice without Immunosuppression

Cell Transplantation, 2012
In the present study, we examined the therapeutic potential of human amnion-derived insulin-secreting cells for type 1 diabetes. Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMs) were isolated from amnion and cultivated to differentiate into insulin-secreting

Increased risk for T cell autoreactivity to ß-cell antigens in the mice expressing the Avy obesity-associated gene. [PDF]

, 2019
There has been considerable debate as to whether obesity can act as an accelerator of type 1 diabetes (T1D). We assessed this possibility using transgenic mice (MIP-TF mice) whose ß-cells express enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). Infecting these

Islet formation during the neonatal development in mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
The islet of Langerhans is a unique micro-organ within the exocrine pancreas, which is composed of insulin-secreting beta-cells, glucagon-secreting alpha-cells, somatostatin-secreting delta-cells, pancreatic polypeptide-secreting PP cells and ghrelin ...

Differentiation of Endogenous Bone Marrow-Derived Cells into Insulin-Producing Cells Using Four Soluble Factors [PDF]

Diabetes & Metabolism Journal
Four soluble factors—putrescine, glucosamine, nicotinamide, and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) inhibitor BP-1-102—were shown to differentiate bone marrow mononucleated cells (BMNCs) into functional insulin-producing cells ...

Human pancreatic microenvironment promotes β-cell differentiation via non-canonical WNT5A/JNK and BMP signaling

Nature Communications, 2022
In vitro differentiation of pancreatic beta cells offers a potential therapeutic approach for diabetes. Here they show human pluripotent stem cell derived pancreatic progenitors differentiate into insulin-secreting cells by crosstalk of WNT5A and BMP ...

Catechol estrogens stimulate insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells via activation of the transient receptor potential A1 (TRPA1) channel [PDF]

, 2019
Estrogen hormones play an important role in controlling glucose homeostasis and pancreatic β-cell function. Despite the significance of estrogen hormones for regulation of glucose metabolism, little is known about the roles of endogenous estrogen ...
