Dynamic Ca2+-Dependent Transcription Links Metabolic Stress to Impaired β-Cell Identity
17 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
By augmenting ATP-sensitive K+ channel–induced membrane depolarization, chronic metabolic stress in prediabetes may increase intracellular Ca2+ concentrations in pancreatic β-cells and cause a loss of cell identity and function. Here, we describe studies of the temporal transcriptomic dynamics induced by sulfonylurea-induced membrane depolarization. Gene expression in isolated islets is highly dynamic, with...
