PFKFB3 Depletion Activates β-Cell Replication by Cell Competitive Culling of Compromised β-Cells Under Stress

2021-04-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Highly conserved hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1α) and its target 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3) play a critical role in the survival of damaged β-cells in type 2 diabetes (T2D) while rendering β-cells non-responsive to glucose stimulation by mitochondrial suppression. HIF1α-PFKFB3 is activated in 30-50% of all β-cells in diabetic islets, leaving an open qu...
