Glucose Rapidly and Reversibly Decreases INS-1 Cell Insulin Gene Transcription via Decrements in STF-1 and C1 Activator Transcription Factor Activity
1 Feb 1998
Abstract excerpt
We have reported that chronic exposure of HIT-T15 cells to supraphysiological concentrations of glucose over many months leads to decreased insulin gene transcription and decreased binding activities of two beta-cell-specific transcription factors, STF-1 and C1 activators, and have postulated that these events may provide a mechanism for glucose toxicity on beta-cell function. We now report that culturing the...
