The mitochondrial enzyme pyruvate carboxylase restricts pancreatic β-cell senescence by blocking p53 activation
22 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
Defective glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and β-cell senescence are hallmarks in diabetes. The mitochondrial enzyme pyruvate carboxylase (PC) has been shown to promote GSIS and β-cell proliferation in the clonal β-cell lines, yet its physiological relevance remains unknown. Here, we provide animal and human data showing a role of PC in protecting β-cells against senescence and maintaining GSIS under...
