JunB Inhibits ER Stress and Apoptosis in Pancreatic Beta Cells
20 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
Cytokines contribute to pancreatic beta-cell apoptosis in type 1 diabetes (T1D) by modulation of beta-cell gene expression networks. The transcription factor Activator Protein-1 (AP-1) is a key regulator of inflammation and apoptosis. We presently evaluated the function of the AP-1 subunit JunB in cytokine-mediated beta-cell dysfunction and death. The cytokines IL-1beta+IFN-gamma induced an early and transitory...
