Metabolic Stress Levels Influence the Ability of Myelin Transcription Factors to Regulate β-Cell Identity and Survival

Abstract excerpt

A hallmark of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is endocrine islet β-cell failure, which can occur via cell dysfunction, loss of identity, and/or death. How each is induced remains largely unknown. We used mouse β-cells deficient for myelin transcription factors (Myt TFs; including Myt1, -2, and -3) to address this question. We previously reported that inactivating all three Myt genes in pancreatic progenitor cells...
