Genistein induces pancreatic beta-cell proliferation through activation of multiple signaling pathways and prevents insulin-deficient diabetes in mice.
Genistein, a flavonoid in legumes and some herbal medicines, has various biological actions. However, studies on whether genistein has an effect on pancreatic beta-cell function are very limited. In the present study, we investigated the effect of genistein on beta-cell proliferation and cellular signaling related to this effect and further determined its antidiabetic potential in insulin-defic...
متن کاملCOUP-TFII Controls Mouse Pancreatic β-Cell Mass through GLP-1-β-Catenin Signaling Pathways
BACKGROUND The control of the functional pancreatic β-cell mass serves the key homeostatic function of releasing the right amount of insulin to keep blood sugar in the normal range. It is not fully understood though how β-cell mass is determined. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Conditional chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter transcription factor II (COUP-TFII)-deficient mice were generated and...
متن کاملGlucose promotes pancreatic islet beta-cell survival through a PI 3-kinase/Akt-signaling pathway.
The concentration of glucose in plasma is an important determinant of pancreatic beta-cell mass, whereas the relative contributions of hypertrophy, proliferation, and cell survival to this process are unclear. Glucose results in depolarization and subsequent calcium influx into islet beta-cells. Because depolarization and calcium (Ca(2+)) influx promote survival of neuronal cells, we hypothesiz...
متن کاملICA512 signaling enhances pancreatic beta-cell proliferation by regulating cyclins D through STATs.
Changes in metabolic demands dynamically regulate the total mass of adult pancreatic beta-cells to adjust insulin secretion and preserve glucose homeostasis. Glucose itself is a major regulator of beta-cell proliferation by inducing insulin secretion and activating beta-cell insulin receptors. Here, we show that islet cell autoantigen 512 (ICA512)/IA-2, an intrinsic tyrosine phosphatase-like pr...
متن کاملAlterations of cell signaling pathways in pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas continue to have the worst prognosis of any adult malignancy with a five-year survival rate of less than 4%. One approach to improve patient survival from pancreatic cancer is to identify new biological targets that contribute to the aggressive pathogenecity of this disease and to develop reagents that will interfere with the function of these targets. Apart fr...
