    Immune Checkpoint-Bioengineered Beta Cell Vaccine Reverses Early-Onset Type 1 Diabetes

    Researchers devised a subcutaneous injectable acellular pancreatic extracellular matrix platform for localizing the bioengineered β cells while creating a pancreas‐like immunogenic microenvironment, in which the autoreactive T cells could interface with the β cells.

    CD82 Is a Marker to Isolate β Cell Precursors from Human iPS Cells and Plays a Role for the Maturation of β Cells

    To isolate β cell precursors from late stage pancreatic endocrine progenitor cells derived from iPS cells, researchers have identified CD82, a member of the tetraspanin family.

    Abstract

    Comparison of Independent and Combined Effects of the Neurotensin Receptor Agonist, JMV-449, and Incretin Mimetics on Pancreatic Islet Function, Glucose Homeostasis and Appetite Control

    Researchers assessed the actions of JMV-449 on pancreatic beta-cells alone, and in combination with glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1.

    Cyclic AMP-Dependent Activation of ERK via GLP-1 Receptor Signaling Requires the Neuroendocrine Cell-Specific Guanine Nucleotide Exchanger NCS-RapGEF2

    Scientists examined the expression of other Family B Gs‐protein coupled receptor in the cell line and assessed cAMP elevation and neuritogenesis after treatment with their cognate peptide ligands.

    Abstract

    PANCREATIC CANCER

    NOX4 Links Metabolic Regulation in Pancreatic Cancer to Endoplasmic Reticulum Redox Vulnerability and Dependence on PRDX4

    Using functional genomics and subsequent in vitro and in vivo validations, investigators found that pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell lines with high NADPH levels were dependent on peroxiredoxin 4 for their growth and survival.

    Exosomal circ_0030167 Derived from BM-MSCs Inhibits the Invasion, Migration, Proliferation and Stemness of Pancreatic Cancer Cells by Sponging miR-338-5p and Targeting the Wif1/Wnt8/β-Catenin Axis

    Researchers found that BM-MSC-derived exosomes significantly reduced the invasion, migration, and proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells, as well as tumor stemness.

    Abstract

    Antitumor Effects of iPSC-Based Cancer Vaccine in Pancreatic Cancer

    Investigators showed that an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based cancer vaccine, comprised of autologous iPSCs and CpG, stimulated cytotoxic antitumor CD8+ T cell effector and memory responses, induced cancer-specific humoral immune responses, reduced immunosuppressive CD4+ T regulatory cells, and prevented tumor formation in 75% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma mice.

    Impact of Histological Response after Neoadjuvant Therapy on Podocalyxin as a Prognostic Marker in Pancreatic Cancer

    Researchers developed a six-tier grading scheme for neoadjuvant responses evaluating the remaining tumor cells in surgical specimens.

    The Complex Link between NAFLD and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus — Mechanisms and Treatments

    The authors describe the evidence of an association and causal link between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), discusses the putative pathophysiological mechanisms linking NAFLD to T2DM and summarizes the current pharmacological treatments for NAFLD or T2DM that might benefit or adversely affect the risk of T2DM or NAFLD progression.

    Abstract

    The Roles of Calcium and ATP in the Physiology and Pathology of the Exocrine Pancreas

    Scientists elucidate the roles of calcium and ATP in the control of the normal functions of the different cell types in the exocrine pancreas as well as the roles of these molecules in the pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis.
