Abstract excerpt
Phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) is a type 1 diabetes susceptibility gene that potentially plays a key role in regulating central carbon metabolism in β-cells. Previous work suggested that β-cell PGM1 transcription is lowered after coxsackievirus B4 infection. Thus, we hypothesized that decreased PGM1 levels disrupt β-cell metabolic homeostasis and result in β-cell fragility and type 1 diabetes. First, we showed that...
