Signaling Pathways Implicated in the Stimulation of β-Cell Proliferation by Extracellular Matrix
15 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
Laminin-5-rich extracellular matrix derived from 804G cells (804G-ECM) induces spreading, improves glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and increases survival and proliferation of rat pancreatic beta-cells. The aim of the study was to determine growth signaling pathways activated by ECM with a particular focus on Ca(2+)-dependent transcription factors. 804G-ECM increased rat beta-cell proliferation, and this...
