Fatty Acid Signaling in the β-Cell and Insulin Secretion [PDF]

Diabetes, 2006
Fatty acids (FAs) and other lipid molecules are important for many cellular functions, including vesicle exocytosis. For the pancreatic β-cell, while the presence of some FAs is essential for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, FAs have enormous capacity to amplify glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, which is particularly operative in situations of

Liver‐specific lncRNAs associated with liver cancers

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are regulatory molecules with various functions. They are more tissue‐specific than proteins and can be used as potential biomarkers, particularly in cancer diagnostics and prognosis. In this review, we have systematically compiled all lncRNAs with exclusive expression in the human liver, verified their liver specificity ...

Alpha-cell paracrine signaling in the regulation of beta-cell insulin secretion

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
As an incretin hormone, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) lowers blood glucose levels by enhancing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells. Therapies targeting the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) use the classical incretin model as a physiological framework in which GLP-1 secreted from enteroendocrine L-cells acts on the beta-cell GLP-1R.

Cognitive Resilience in Apolipoprotein ε4 Carrier Women Predicted by Neuron‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The Apolipoprotein (APOE) ε4 allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for late‐onset Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, many ε4 carriers remain cognitively intact into old age. Leveraging plasma neuron‐derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs), we sought to identify biomarkers of cognitive resilience and their interplay with APOE ...

Recent Advances in Obesity-induced Inflammation and Insulin Resistance.

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
It has been demonstrated in rodents and humans that chronic inflammation characterized by macrophage infiltration occurs mainly in adipose tissue or liver during obesity, in which activation of immune cells is closely associated with insulin sensitivity.

Metabolic Consequences of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have metabolic disruption, which can contribute to adverse long‐term outcomes, for multiple reasons. Patients with RA appear to have a higher risk of sarcopenia, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension. Systemic inflammation in RA can cause a “lipid paradox,” with reduced low‐

JNK3 is abundant in insulin-secreting cells and protects against cytokine-induced apoptosis [PDF]

, 2018
Aims/hypothesis: In insulin-secreting cells, activation of the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway triggers apoptosis. Whereas JNK1 and JNK2 are ubiquitously produced, JNK3 has been described exclusively in neurons.

LIN28B Promotes Cancer Cell Dissemination and Angiogenesis

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
Children diagnosed with high‐risk neuroblastoma have a 5‐year event‐free survival rate of less than 50% and poor outcomes after recurrence. Deregulation of the LIN28B oncogene can be addressed in these patients. Upregulation of LIN28B is shown to support the metastatic cascade.

Acromegaly: pathogenesis & treatment [PDF]

, 2019
Acromegaly is a multi-system disorder whose etiology is most often traced back to a growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma (PA). Growth hormone (GH) secretion promotes insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) release from peripheral tissues, leading to ...
