Use of Microarray Analysis to Unveil Transcription Factor and Gene Networks Contributing to β Cell Dysfunction and Apoptosis
1 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
The beta cell fate following immune-mediated damage depends on an intricate pattern of dozens of genes up- or downregulated in parallel and/or sequentially. We are utilizing microarray analysis to clarify the pattern of gene expression in primary rat beta cells exposed to the proapoptotic cytokines, IL-1beta and/or IFN-gamma. The picture emerging from these experiments is that beta cells are not passive...
