PDX1 and ISL1 differentially coordinate with epigenetic modifications to regulate insulin gene expression in varied glucose concentrations
17 Mar 2016
Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of insulin gene transcription control in response to glucose concentration is poorly defined. The islet-restricted transcription factors PDX1 and ISL1 interact with BETA2, activating insulin gene expression. However, their contribution and hierarchical organization in insulin expression control based on glucose concentration remain unknown. We investigated PDX1 and ISL1 regulation of insulin gene...
