ROCKII inhibition promotes the maturation of human pancreatic beta-like cells

Nature Communications, 2017
Our incomplete understanding of how pancreatic beta cells form limits the generation of beta-like cells from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC). Here, the authors identify a ROCKII inhibitor H1152 as increasing insulin secreting cells from hPSCs and ...

Estrone and estradiol concentrations in human ovaries, testes, and adrenals during the first two years of life [PDF]

, 1987
To determine the origin of estrogens in infant blood, we measured estrone (E1) and estradiol (E2) in the gonads of 50 girls and 64 boys who died suddenly between birth and 2 yr of age as well as in the adrenals of 18 of these infant girls and 16 of the ...

The role of stereotactic radiosurgery in the multimodal management of growth hormone–secreting pituitary adenomas [PDF]

, 2010
Growth hormone (GH)–secreting pituitary adenomas represent a common source of GH excess in patients with acromegaly. Whereas surgical extirpation of the culprit lesion is considered first-line treatment, as many as 19% of patients develop recurrent ...

Effect of 2‐mercaptoethanol on glutathione levels, cystine uptake and insulin secretion in insulin‐secreting cells [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1992
The role of glutathione (GSH) in the differentiated state of insulin‐secreting cells was studied using 2‐mercaptoethanol as a means of varying intracellular GSH levels. 2‐Mercaptoethanol (50 μM) caused a marked increase of GSH in two rat insulinoma cell lines, RINm5F and INS‐1, the latter being dependent on the presence of 2‐mercaptoethanol for ...

Cotransplantation of Adipose Tissue-Derived Insulin-Secreting Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Hematopoietic Stem Cells: A Novel Therapy for Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus

Stem Cells International, 2010
Aims. Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is believed to be an autoimmune disorder with disturbed glucose/insulin metabolism, requiring life-long insulin replacement therapy (IRT), 30% of patients develop end-organ failure.

JNK3 maintains expression of the insulin receptor substrate 2 (IRS2) in insulin-secreting cells: functional consequences for insulin signaling. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
We have recently shown that silencing of the brain/islet specific c-Jun N-terminal Kinase3 (JNK3) isoform enhances both basal and cytokine-induced beta-cell apoptosis, whereas silencing of JNK1 or JNK2 has opposite effects. While it is known that JNK1 or

Expression and function of ATP-dependent potassium channels in zebrafish islet β-cells [PDF]

, 2017
ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K(ATP) channels) are critical nutrient sensors in many mammalian tissues. In the pancreas, K(ATP) channels are essential for coupling glucose metabolism to insulin secretion.

Peroxiredoxin 4 Improves Insulin Biosynthesis and Glucose-induced Insulin Secretion in Insulin-secreting INS-1E Cells [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014
Oxidative folding of (pro)insulin is crucial for its assembly and biological function. This process takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and is accomplished by protein disulfide isomerase and ER oxidoreductin 1β, generating stoichiometric amounts of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as byproduct.

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.

Differential interaction of glimepiride and glibenclamide with the β-cell sulfonylurea receptor I. Binding characteristics [PDF]

, 1994
Glimepiride is a novel sulfonylurea drug for treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with higher blood sugar lowering efficacy in diabetic patients than glibenclamide raising the question whether this characteristics is in line with ...
