1 17470563 Here, we demonstrate that retinoic acid receptor (RAR)alpha stimulants preferentially act on glial cells rather than endothelial cells, resulting in the enhanced expression of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) through recruitment of the RARalpha-driven trans-acting coactivator to the 5'-flanking region of the gene promoter.
2 18241861 Exposure of beta-cells to GDNF also resulted in phosphorylation of Akt and GSK3beta.
3 18241861 Transgenic mice that overexpress GDNF in glia exhibit increased beta-cell mass, proliferation, and insulin content.
4 20448145 Transgenic expression of GDNF in mouse pancreata was associated with increased numbers of Ngn3-expressing pancreatic cells and higher beta-cell mass at embryonic day 18 (E18), as well as higher beta-cell proliferation and Pdx1 expression in beta-cells at E18 and postnatal day 1.
5 20448145 In the HIT-T15 beta-cell line, GDNF enhanced the expression of Pax6.
6 20448145 Chromatin immunoprecipitation studies using the HIT-T15 beta-cell line demonstrated that GDNF can influence Pdx1 gene expression by enhancing the binding of Sox9 and neuroD1/beta(2) to the Pdx1 promoter.
7 21869742 Human islets were cultured in medium supplemented with or without GDNF (100 ng/mL) and in vitro islet survival and function assessed by analyzing ?-cell apoptosis and glucose stimulated insulin release.
