Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the transcription factor IPF1/PDX1 have been associated with type 2 diabetes. To elucidate beta-cell dysfunction, PDX1 was suppressed by transduction of rat islets with an adenoviral construct encoding a dominant negative form of PDX1. After 2 days, there was a marked inhibition of insulin secretion in response to glucose, leucine, and arginine. Increasing cAMP levels with forskolin and...
