Glucocorticoids reduce Slc2a2 ( GLUT2 ) gene expression through HNF1 in pancreatic β-cells
17 Dec 2024
Abstract excerpt
Glucose transporter type 2 (GLUT2), encoded by the Slc2a2 gene, is essential for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in pancreatic islet β-cells, and low expression of GLUT2 is associated with β-cell dysfunction during the progression of type 2 diabetes in humans and animal models. Glucocorticoids are stress hormones that regulate inflammation and metabolism through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), a...
