Lentiviral Gene Therapy Vectors Encoding VIP Suppressed Diabetes-Related Inflammation and Augmented Pancreatic Beta-Cell Proliferation

The authors suggested the observed therapeutic effect of lentiviral vector carrying vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP) gene was due to the repression of diabetes-induced inflammation, its insulinotropic properties, and VIP-induced beta-cell proliferation.

Lactate Activation of α-Cell KATP Channels Inhibits Glucagon Secretion by Hyperpolarizing the Membrane Potential and Reducing Ca2+ Entry

Mouse and human islets were used in combination with confocal microscopy, electrophysiology, GCG immunoassays, and fluorescent thallium flux assays to assess α-cell Ca2+ handling, Vm, KATP currents, and GCG secretion.

TET1 Downregulates Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Chemoresistance in PDAC by Demethylating CHL1 to Inhibit the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway

In vitro and in vivo functional studies performed by silencing or overexpressing TET1 suggested that TET1 was able to suppress epithelial-mesenchymal transition and sensitize pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells to 5FU and gemcitabine. RNA-seq, whole genome bisulfite sequencing and ChIP-seq were used to explore the TET1-associated pathway, and showed that TET1 promoted the transcription of CHL1 by binding and demethylating the CHL1 promoter, which consequently inhibits the Hedgehog pathway.

Metformin Inhibits Pancreatic Cancer Metastasis Caused by SMAD4 Deficiency and Consequent HNF4G Upregulation

The authors found that metformin suppressed HNF4G activity via AMPK-mediated phosphorylation-coupled ubiquitination degradation and inhibited in vitro invasion and in vivo metastasis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells with SMAD4 deficiency.

IL-17F Induces Inflammation, Dysfunction and Cell Death in Mouse Islets
