Pancreatic β-cell specific loss of <i>E2f1</i> impairs insulin secretion and β-cell identity through the epigenetic repression of non β-cell programs
2020-10-14
Abstract excerpt
The loss of pancreatic β-cell identity emerges as an important feature of type 2 diabetes development, but the molecular mechanisms are still elusive. Here, we explore the cell-autonomous role of the cell cycle regulator and transcription factor E2F1 in the maintenance of β-cell identity and insulin secretion. We show that the β-cell-specific loss of E2f1 function in mice triggers glucose intolerance associated w...
