Thioredoxin-Interacting Protein Is Stimulated by Glucose through a Carbohydrate Response Element and Induces β-Cell Apoptosis
10 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
Recently, we identified thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) as the most dramatically glucose-induced gene in our human islet microarray study. TXNIP is a regulator of the cellular redox state, but its role in pancreatic beta-cells and the mechanism of its regulation by glucose remain unknown. We therefore generated a stable transfected beta-cell line (INS-1) overexpressing human TXNIP and found that TXNIP...
