IAPP-induced beta cell stress recapitulates the islet transcriptome in type 2 diabetes
23 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Type 2 diabetes is characterised by islet amyloid and toxic oligomers of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP). We posed the questions, (1) does IAPP toxicity induce an islet response comparable to that in humans with type 2 diabetes, and if so, (2) what are the key transcriptional drivers of this response? METHODS: The islet transcriptome was evaluated in five groups of mice: beta cell specific...
