Abstract excerpt
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can induce antiviral enzyme 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase (2'5'AS) expression and activate latent 2'5'AS. Our previous data have shown pancreatic β cells are sensitive to dsRNA-induced 2'5'AS expression, and constitutive high basal 2'5'AS expression is associated with susceptibility to developing type 1 diabetes (T1D), a disease due to pancreatic β cell loss. Here we report that in...
