96 9662045 Overexpression of mitochondrial FAD-linked glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase does not correct glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from diabetic GK rat pancreatic islets.
97 9662045 In the pancreatic islets of GK rats, the activity of mitochondrial FAD-linked glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (mGPDH), the key enzyme of the glycerol phosphate shuttle, is decreased and this abnormality may be responsible, at least in part, for impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
98 9662045 To investigate this possibility, we overexpressed mGPDH in islets isolated from GK rats via recombinant adenovirus-mediated gene transduction, and examined glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
99 9662045 In islets isolated from diabetic GK rats at 8 to 10 weeks of age, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was severely impaired, and mGPDH activity was decreased to 79 % of that in non-diabetic Wistar rats.
100 9662045 Basal (3 mmol/l glucose) and glucose-stimulated (20 mmol/l) insulin secretion from the Adex1CAlacZ-infected GK rat islets were, respectively, 4.4 +/- 0.7 and 8.1 +/- 0.7 ng. x islet(-1) x 30 min(-1), and those from mGPDH-overexpressed GK rat islets 4.7 +/- 0.3 and 9.1 +/- 0.8 ng x islet(-1) x 30 min(-1), in contrast to those from the AdexlCAlacZ-infected non-diabetic Wistar rat islets (4.7 +/- 1.6 and 47.6 +/- 11.9 ng x islet(-1) x 30 min(-1)).
101 9662045 Thus, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion is severely impaired in GK rats even in the stage when mGPDH activity is modestly decreased, and at this stage, overexpression of mGPDH cannot restore glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
102 9662045 We conclude that decreased mGPDH activity in GK rat islets is not the defect primarily responsible for impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.

111 10334320 Multipoint analyses for leptin trait with Isl-1 and two flanking markers (D5S418 and D5S407) showed that the logarithm of odds (LOD) score is 1.73, coinciding with the Isl-1 locus.
112 10334320 Although marginally positive indications for linkage in subgroups of families were found with IRS-1, CPT-1, and HSL loci, our data suggested that these genes are not major contributors to obesity.
113 10334320 These included cholecystokinin A and B receptors (CCK-AR and CCK-BR), glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R), the LIM/homeodomain islet-1 gene (Isl-1), the caudal-type homeodomain 3 (CDX-3), the uncoupling protein 1 (UCP-1), the beta3-adrenoceptor (beta3-AR), the fatty acid-binding protein 2 (FABP-2), the hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), the lipoprotein lipase (LPL), the apoprotein-C2 (apo-C2), the insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and the liver carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1).

118 10512362 We have recently reported that isolated islets from mice homozygous for a GLP-1 receptor null mutation (GLP-1R(-/-)) exhibit a well-preserved insulin-secretory response to glucose.
119 10512362 Exendin (9-39)amide (15-min exposure) reduced glucose-induced insulin secretion from both perifused and statically incubated GLP-1R(+/+) islets by 50% (P < 0.05), and reduced islet cAMP production in parallel (P < 0.001).
120 10512362 Furthermore, GLP-1R(-/-) islets exhibited: 1) reduced cAMP accumulation in the presence of 20 mmol/l glucose (knockout islets versus control islets, 12 +/- 1 vs. 27 +/- 3 fmol x islet(-1) x 15 min(-1); P < 0.001) and exaggerated acceleration of cAMP production by 10 nmol/l glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) (increase over 20 mmol/l glucose by GIP in knockout islets versus control islets: 66 +/- 5 vs. 14 +/- 3 fmol x islet(-1) x 15 min(-1); P < 0.001); 2) increased mean cytosolic [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]c) at 7, 10, and 15 mmol/l glucose in knockout islets versus control islets; and 3) signs of asynchrony of [Ca2+]c oscillations between different islet subregions.
121 10677506 Recent genetic studies have identified a network of transcription factors, including Pdx1, Isl1, Pax4, Pax6, NeuroD, Nkx2.2, and Hlxb9, regulating the development of islet cells at different stages, but the molecular mechanisms controlling the specification of pancreatic endocrine precursors remain unknown. neurogenin3 (ngn3) is a member of a family of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors that is involved in the determination of neural precursor cells in the neuroectoderm. ngn3 is expressed in discrete regions of the nervous system and in scattered cells in the embryonic pancreas.
122 10677506 Expression of Isl1, Pax4, Pax6, and NeuroD is lost, and endocrine precursors are lacking in the mutant pancreatic epithelium.

125 10868931 Alternatively, beta-cells have been suggested to arise late, directly from the GLUT2- and pancreatic duodenal homeobox factor-1 (PDX1)-expressing epithelium, which gives rise also to the acinar cells during this stage.
126 10868931 In this study, we have identified a subset of the PDX1+ epithelial cells that are marked by expression of Neurogenin3 (Ngn3).
127 10868931 Detailed analysis of Ngn3/paired box factor 6 (PAX6) and NeuroD/PAX6 co-expression shows that the two bHLH factors are expressed in a largely nonoverlapping set of cells, but such analysis also suggests that the NeuroD+ cells arise from cells expressing Ngn3 transiently.
128 10868931 NeuroD+ cells do not express Ki-67, a marker of proliferating cells, which shows that these cells are postmitotic.
129 10868931 The earliest sign of alpha-cell development appears to be Brain4 expression, which apparently precedes Islet-1 (ISL1) expression.
130 11272166 However, also in phlorizin-treated GK rats, the amount of insulin released by the islets was significantly less than that from control rats (5.29+/-0.33 vs. 7.50+/-1.31 pmol x min(-1) islet(-1) at 16.7 mmol/l glucose; P<0.001).
131 11272166 Correction of hyperglycemia normalizes islet glucose-6-phosphatase activity, which may be an underlying factor for the partial improvement of glucose-induced insulin release.
132 11307309 This form of diabetes can result from mutations in at least seven different genes: hepatocyte nuclear factor(HNF)-4 alpha/MODY1, glucokinase/MODY2, HNF-1 alpha/MODY3, insulin promoter factor(IPF-1)/MODY4, HNF-1 beta/MODY5, NeuroD1/MODY6 and Islet(Isl)-1/MODY7.
133 11307309 Mutations in HNF-1 alpha/MODY3 are the most common cause of MODY in Japanese identified to date accounting for about 15% of cases of MODY.
134 11307309 Mutations in the HNF-4 alpha/MODY1, glucokinase/MODY2, HNF-1 beta/MODY5 and Isl-1/MODY7 genes have also been found in Japanese; however, they are rare causes of MODY.
135 11307309 Patients who have mutations in the HNF-1 beta/MODY5 gene have non-diabetic kidney dysfunction including renal cysts.
136 11307309 Genetic approach for type 2 diabetes had done by using non-parameteric linkage analysis such as sibpair analysis which worked well and NIDDM1 and NIDDM2 have been identified to date.
137 11307309 The responsible gene for NIDDM1 was recently identified to be Calpain 10, and SNP43 in this gene could explain all of the evidence for linkage in Mexican American type 2 diabetes.
138 11307309 This form of diabetes can result from mutations in at least seven different genes: hepatocyte nuclear factor(HNF)-4 alpha/MODY1, glucokinase/MODY2, HNF-1 alpha/MODY3, insulin promoter factor(IPF-1)/MODY4, HNF-1 beta/MODY5, NeuroD1/MODY6 and Islet(Isl)-1/MODY7.

144 11473041 The homeodomain transcription factor IPF1/PDX1 is required in beta-cells for efficient expression of insulin, glucose transporter 2, and prohormone convertases 1/3 and 2.
145 11473041 Other beta-cell transcription factors (e.g., ISL-1, Nkx2.2, and Nkx6.1) were expressed in P. obesus islets, and the DNA binding activity of the insulin transcription factors RIPE3b1-Act and IEF1 was intact.
146 11473041 Ipf1/Pdx1 gene transfer to isolated P. obesus islets normalized the defect in glucose-stimulated insulin gene expression and prevented the rapid depletion of insulin content after exposure to high glucose.
147 11473041 Taken together, these results suggest that the inability of P. obesus islets to adapt to dietary overload, with depletion of insulin content as a consequence, results from IPF1/PDX1 deficiency.
148 11687580 Cytokines, such as interleukin-1 beta and interferon-gamma, are putative mediators of immune-induced beta-cell death and, under in vitro conditions, cause beta-cell apoptosis.
149 11687580 We have recently shown that interleukin-1 beta + interferon-gamma modifies the expression of >200 genes in beta-cells.
150 11687580 To identify cytokine-induced and NF-kappa B-regulated genes in primary rat beta-cells, we presently combined two experimental approaches: 1) blocking of NF-kappa B activation in cytokine-exposed beta-cells by a recombinant adenovirus (AdI kappa B((SA)2)) containing an inhibitor of NF-kappa B alpha (I kappa Bac) super-repressor (S32A/S36A) and 2) study of gene expression by microarray analysis.
151 11687580 Cytokine-induced NF-kappa B activation decreased Pdx-1 and increased c-Myc expression.
152 11687580 This, together with NF-kappa B-dependent inhibition of Glut-2, pro-hormone convertase-1, and Isl-1 expression, probably contributes to the loss of differentiated beta-cell functions.
153 11776473 Strategies to increase islet precursor cells from embryonic stem cells include the expression of relevant transcription factors (Pdx1, Ngn3, Isl-1, etc), together with the use of extracellular factors.
154 11912494 In vitro studies have shown that Pbx1 regulates the activity of Ipf1 (also known as Pdx1), a ParaHox homeodomain transcription factor required for the development and function of the pancreas in mice and humans.
155 11912494 In these embryos, expression of Isl1 and Atoh5, essential regulators of pancreatic morphogenesis and differentiation, was severely reduced.
156 11912494 Analysis of trans-heterozygous Pbx1+/- Ipf1+/- mice revealed in vivo genetic interactions between Pbx1 and Ipf1 that are essential for postnatal pancreatic function; these mice developed age-dependent overt diabetes mellitus, unlike Pbx1+/- or Ipf1+/- mice.
157 11978636 Immature rat intestinal stem cells (IEC-6) given the ability to express the transcription factor, pancreatic duodenal homeobox 1 (Pdx-1), yielded YK cells.

159 11978636 These results indicated that combined expression of Pdx-1 and Isl-1 in IEC-6 cells was required for the production of insulin.
160 11978636 In fact, overexpression of both Pdx-1 and Isl-1 in IEC-6 cells (Isl-YK-12, -14, and -15 cells) gave them the ability to express insulin without exposure to betacellulin.
161 11978636 In summary, our results indicated that immature intestinal stem cells can differentiate into insulin-producing cells given the ability to express the transcription factors Pdx-1 and Isl-1.

176 12525695 Expression of Pax4 in embryonic stem cells promotes differentiation of nestin-positive progenitor and insulin-producing cells.
177 12525695 We show that constitutive expression of Pax4 (Pax4(+)), and to a lesser extent Pdx1 (Pdx1(+)), affects the differentiation of ES cells and significantly promote the development of insulin-producing cells.
178 12525695 In Pax4 overexpressing R1 ES cells, isl-1, ngn3, insulin, islet amyloid polypeptide, and glucose transporter 2 (Glut-2) mRNA levels increase significantly.
179 12525695 Constitutive Pax4 expression combined with selection of nestin+ cells and histotypic culture conditions give rise to spheroids containing insulin-positive granules typical of embryonal and adult beta cells.
180 12697711 The actions of butyrate were not diminished by the ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059, p38 inhibitor SB203580, or soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitor LY83583 or following treatment of cells with KT5823, a selective inhibitor of cGMP-dependent protein kinase.

182 12716747 Recent reports have shown that ES cells can differentiate into insulin-producing cells in response to the transient expression of the pdx-1 gene, after the removal of feeder cells.
183 12716747 Glucose-responsive insulin-producing cells, derived from our feeder-free ES cells, expressed insulin 2, pdx-1, Pax4, and Isl1 and also the glucagon, somatostatin, and PP genes.
184 15479952 Tacrolimus suppresses glucose-induced insulin release from pancreatic islets by reducing glucokinase activity.
185 15479952 Twenty-four-hour exposure to 3 nM tacrolimus reduced high glucose (16.7 mM)-induced insulin secretion (control 2.14 +/- 0.08 vs. tacrolimus 1.75 +/- 0.02 ng.islet(-1).30 min(-1), P < 0.01) without affecting insulin content.
186 15479952 Glucokinase activity, which determines glycolytic velocity, was reduced by tacrolimus treatment (control 65.3 +/- 3.4 vs. tacrolimus 49.9 +/- 2.8 pmol.islet(-1).60 min(-1), P < 0.01), whereas hexokinase activity was not affected.
187 15479952 These results indicate that glucose-stimulated insulin release is decreased by chronic exposure to tacrolimus due to reduced ATP production and glycolysis derived from reduced glucokinase activity.

192 15561947 High glucose is necessary for complete maturation of Pdx1-VP16-expressing hepatic cells into functional insulin-producing cells.
193 15561947 Pdx1 has been shown to convert hepatocytes into both exocrine and endocrine pancreatic cells in mice, but it fails to selectively convert hepatocytes into pure insulin-producing cells (IPCs).
194 15561947 We do not however find any expression of the late-stage genes (Pax4, Pax6, Isl-1, and MafA) related to beta-cell development, and the cells do not secrete insulin upon the glucose challenge.
195 15604203 Knockout of the genes for Pdx1, Hlxb9, Isl1, or Hex results in an arrest of pancreas development at a very early stage (embryonic d 8-9).
196 15604203 Hes1 or neurogenin-3, abrogates development of the endocrine pancreas (islets of Langerhans).
197 15604203 Disruption of transcription factor genes expressed more downstream in the developmental cascade (Beta2/NeuroD, Pax4, NKx2.2, and Nkx6.1) curtails the formation of insulin-producing beta-cells.
198 15928194 The cell lineage obtained expressed Pdx1, Pax6, Isl1, AChE, MBP, TH, and GS genes, confirming ectodermal commitment, even though some of these factors are also expressed in endoderm.
199 15928194 Co-expression of insulin II and nestin was observed in monolayer culture and in the presence of specific conditioned media.

201 16186387 Spontaneous differentiation of hESCs under two-dimensional growth conditions resulted in differentiation of Pdx1(+)/Foxa2(+) pancreatic progenitors and Pdx1(+)/Isl1(+) endocrine progenitors but no insulin-producing cells.
202 16186387 Comparative analysis of the basic characteristics of hESC-derived insulin(+) cell clusters with human adult islets demonstrated that the insulin(+) cells share important features with normal beta-cells, such as synthesis (proinsulin) and processing (C-peptide) of insulin and nuclear localization of key beta-cell transcription factors, including Foxa2, Pdx1, and Isl1.

207 16188910 Older Tg mice secreted less insulin in response to 20 mM glucose (Tg, 2,256 +/- 342; WT, 3,493 +/- 367 pg x islet(-1) x 35 min(-1); P < 0.05).
208 16188910 Young Tg animals secreted more insulin in response to 20 mM glucose (Tg, 1,254 +/- 311; WT, 425 +/- 231 pg x islet(-1) x 35 min(-1); P < 0.01).

348 17979180 Unlike previous work, with persistent expression of Pdx-1, EGFP/Pdx-1 LEPCs acquired the phenotype of pancreatic endocrine progenitor cells rather than giving rise to insulin-producing cells directly.
349 17979180 EGFP/Pdx-1 LEPCs proliferated vigorously and expressed the crucial transcription factors involved in beta cell development, including Ngn3, NeuroD, Nkx2.2, Nkx6.1, Pax4, Pax6, Isl1, MafA and endogenous Pdx-1, but did not secrete insulin.

435 19633817 Renal expression of arachidonic acid metabolizing enzymes and RhoA/Rho kinases in fructose insulin resistant hypertensive rats.
436 19633817 Of special interest is CYP4A, which produces the potent vasoconstrictor, 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and CYP2C, which catalyzes the formation of the potent dilators epoxyeicosatrienoic acids as well as soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) which metabolizes the latter to dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids.
437 19633817 The RhoA/Rho kinase (ROCK) signaling pathway is downstream of arachidonic acid and is reported to mediate metabolic-cardio-renal dysfunctions in some experimental models of insulin resistance and diabetes.
438 19633817 The aim of the present study was to determine the expression of CYP4A, CYP2C23, CYP2C11, sEH, RhoA, ROCK-1, ROCK-2, and phospho-Lin-11/Isl-1/Mec-3 kinase (LIMK) in kidneys of fructose-fed (F) rats.
439 19633817 Equal expression for RhoA in both control and F rats and an enhanced level of ROCK-1 and ROCK-2 constitutively activate 130 kDa cleavage fragments as well as phospho-LIMK.
440 19633817 These data suggest that the kidneys could be actively participating in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance-induced hypertension through the arachidonic acid CYP 450-RhoA/Rho kinase pathway(s).
441 20082465 Investigations included sequencing of GCK, ABCC8, IPF1, NEUROD1, PTF1A, HNF1B, INS, ISL1, NGN3, HHEX, G6PC2, TCF7L2, SOX4, FOXP3 (Patients 1 and 2), GATA4 and KCNJ11 genes (all three patients), but no mutations were found.
442 21099304 Recently, we have reported the LIM-homeodoman (HD) transcriptional regulator, Islet-1 (Isl-1) as a key regulator for pancreatic islets after the secondary transition and into early postnatal stages in mice.
443 21099304 We have also identified MafA, a potent Insulin gene regulator, as the first direct target of Isl-1 in β-cells.

446 21108535 NKX6.1 promotes PDX-1-induced liver to pancreatic β-cells reprogramming.
447 21108535 NKX6.1 is a transcription factor uniquely expressed in β-cells of the adult pancreas, its potential role in reprogramming liver cells to pancreatic lineages has never been analyzed.
448 21108535 Our results suggest that NKX6.1 activates immature pancreatic markers such as NGN-3 and ISL-1 but not pancreatic hormones gene expression in human liver cells.
449 21108535 Indeed, the complementation of NKX6.1 by ectopic PDX-1 expression substantially and specifically promoted insulin expression and glucose regulated processed hormone secretion to a higher extent than that of PDX-1 alone, without increasing the reprogrammed cells.
450 21108535 This may suggest a potential role for NKX6.1 in promoting PDX-1 reprogrammed cells maturation along the β-cell-like lineage.
451 21108535 By contrast, NKX6.1 repressed PDX-1 induced proglucagon gene expression.
452 21197448 This was a prospective open-labeled clinical trial to test efficacy and safety of IS-AD-MSC+CBM co-transplantation to treat IDDM, approved by the institutional review board after informed consent in 11 (males : females: 7 : 4) patients with 1-24-year disease duration, in age group: 13-43 years, on mean values of exogenous insulin requirement of 1.14 units/kg BW/day, glycosylated hemoglobin (Hb1Ac): 8.47%, and c-peptide levels: 0.1 ng/mL.
453 21197448 Intraportal infusion of xenogeneic-free IS-AD-MSC from living donors, subjected to defined culture conditions and phenotypically differentiated to insulin-secreting cells, with mean quantum: 1.5 mL, expressing Pax-6, Isl-1, and pdx-1, cell counts: 2.1 × 10(3)/μL, CD45(-)/90(+)/73(+):40/30.1%, C-Peptide level:1.8 ng/mL, and insulin level: 339.3  IU/mL with CBM mean quantum: 96.3 mL and cell counts: 28.1 × 10(3)/μL, CD45(-)/34(+):0.62%, was carried out.
454 21335539 The identity of ICAs was confirmed as islets by dithiozone-positive staining, as well as by expression of C-peptide, Pdx-1, Pax4, Pax6, Ngn3, and Isl-1.
455 21814221 We genotyped 91 polymorphisms in 19 genes (ABCC8, HNF1A, HNF1B, HNF4A, INS, INSM1, ISL1, KCNJ11, MAFA, MNX1, NEUROD1, NEUROG3, NKX2.2, NKX6.1, PAX4, PAX6, PDX1, USF1 and WFS1) in 2025 unrelated North Indians of Indo-European ethnicity comprising of 1019 diabetic and 1006 non-diabetic subjects.
456 21814221 Variants in USF1, ABCC8, ISL1 and KCNJ11 showed nominal association, while haplotypes in these genes were significantly associated. rs3812704 upstream of NEUROG3 significantly increased risk for type 2 diabetes in normal-weight/lean subjects (OR=1.68 (95%CI 1.25-2.24), P=4.9 × 10(-4)).
457 21814221 We genotyped 91 polymorphisms in 19 genes (ABCC8, HNF1A, HNF1B, HNF4A, INS, INSM1, ISL1, KCNJ11, MAFA, MNX1, NEUROD1, NEUROG3, NKX2.2, NKX6.1, PAX4, PAX6, PDX1, USF1 and WFS1) in 2025 unrelated North Indians of Indo-European ethnicity comprising of 1019 diabetic and 1006 non-diabetic subjects.

459 22186137 Antisense miR-7 impairs insulin expression in developing pancreas and in cultured pancreatic buds.
460 22186137 In situ hybridization and immunostaining analysis showed that miR-7 colocalizes with endocrine marker Isl1, suggesting that miR-7 is expressed preferentially in endocrine cells.
461 22186137 Inhibition of miR-7 during early embryonic life results in an overall downregulation of insulin production, decreased β-cell numbers, and glucose intolerance in the postnatal period.
462 22186137 On the other hand, the in vitro inhibition of miR-7 in explanted pancreatic buds leads to β-cell death and generation of β-cells expressing less insulin than those in MO control.
463 22249339 Consequently, we evaluated the viability, the induction of apoptosis, the glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and the expression of β-cell function genes (Isl1, Pax6, Glut-2, glucokinase) and apoptosis-related genes (Bax and Bcl2). βTC-1, βTC-6, and human islets treated, respectively, for 48 and 72 h with 15-30 nM MPA showed altered islet architecture, as compared with control cells.
464 22249339 Furthermore, we showed significant down-regulation of gene expression of molecules involved in β-cell function and increase rate between Bax/Bcl2.
465 22436693 Compared with CC, pre- and postnatal LP (RR) decreased β-cell fraction, mass, proliferation, aggregate size, and number and increased Hnf1a, Hnf4a, Pdx1, Isl1, Rfx6, and Slc2a2 mRNA levels.
466 22436693 LP only in pregnancy (RC) also decreased β-cell fraction, mass, proliferation, aggregate size, and number and increased Hnf1a, Hnf4a, Pdx1, Rfx6, and Ins mRNA levels.
467 22436693 Postnatal LP offspring (CR) showed decreased β-cell mass but increased β-cell fraction, aggregate number, and Hnf1a, Hnf4a, Rfx6, and Slc2a2 mRNA levels.
468 22595886 We demonstrate that transgenic mice with Isl-1 overexpression display improved glucose tolerance and enhanced insulin secretion without significant changes in β cell mass.
469 22595886 Using real-time PCR we have confirmed upregulation of Caps2, Sec14l4, Slc2a10, P2rx7, Afamin, and Neurogenin 3 that may in part mediate the observed improved insulin secretion in Isl-1 overexpressing mice.

472 22833839 These islet-like cells expressed multiple genes related to islet development and beta cell function (e.g., Pdx-1, Ngn-3, Islet-1, Neuro-D, Pax4, IAPP, and insulin) and produced insulin and C-peptide within these cells.
473 22833839 However, these transplanted differentiated cells became tumorigenic in diabetic immunocompromised mice and their spontaneous transformation was confirmed by a marked increase in growth rate and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes (P21 and P16) by promoter hypermethylation.
474 23077629 We previously delivered adenovirus vector (AdV) into exocrine cells of the pancreas by intra-common bile ductal (ICBD) injection, and found that AdV expressing Pdx1, a pancreas-specific transcription factor, causes TC formation and islet neogenesis.
475 23077629 AdV expressing Isl1, a proendocrine transcription factor, effectively induced TC formation through acinar-to-ductal metaplasia, and exogenous Pdx1 expression facilitated this process.
476 23193182 Islet α-, β-, and δ-cell development is controlled by the Ldb1 coregulator, acting primarily with the islet-1 transcription factor.
477 23193182 Ldb1 and Ldb2 are coregulators that mediate Lin11-Isl1-Mec3 (LIM)-homeodomain (HD) and LIM-only transcription factor-driven gene regulation.
478 23193182 Although both Ldb1 and Ldb2 mRNA were produced in the developing and adult pancreas, immunohistochemical analysis illustrated a broad Ldb1 protein expression pattern during early pancreatogenesis, which subsequently became enriched in islet and ductal cells perinatally.
479 23193182 The islet-enriched pattern of Ldb1 was similar to pan-endocrine cell-expressed Islet-1 (Isl1), which was demonstrated in this study to be the primary LIM-HD transcription factor in developing and adult islet cells.
480 23193182 Endocrine cell-specific removal of Ldb1 during mouse development resulted in a severe reduction of hormone⁺ cell numbers (i.e., α, β, and δ) and overt postnatal hyperglycemia, reminiscent of the phenotype described for the Isl1 conditional mutant.
481 23193182 Gene expression and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analyses demonstrated that many important Isl1-activated genes were coregulated by Ldb1, including MafA, Arx, insulin, and Glp1r.
482 23193182 However, some genes (i.e., Hb9 and Glut2) only appeared to be impacted by Ldb1 during development.
483 23193182 These findings establish Ldb1 as a critical transcriptional coregulator during islet α-, β-, and δ-cell development through Isl1-dependent and potentially Isl1-independent control.

524 23271432 The results reveal that mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) derived from bone marrow and subcutaneous adipose tissue can differentiate into pancreatic islet-like clusters, as evidenced by their islet-like morphology, positive dithizone staining and expression of genes such as Nestin, PDX1, Isl 1, Ngn 3, Pax 4 and Insulin.
525 23306211 RT-PCR for endodermal and pancreatic lineage-specific markers was performed on AFS cells after adenovirally transduced expression of PDX1, NGN3 and MAFA.
526 23306211 Expression of MAFA was sufficient to induce insulin mRNA expression in nhpAFS cell lines, whereas a combination of MAFA, PDX1 and NGN3 further induced insulin expression, and also induced the expression of other important endocrine cell genes such as glucagon, NEUROD1, NKX2.2, ISL1 and PCSK2.
527 23306211 The expression of pancreatic genes such as NEUROD1, glucagon and insulin progressively decreased with the decline of adenovirally expressed PDX1, NGN3 and MAFA.
528 23339089 Recombinant human Pdx1 proteins (hPdx1), which have an Antennapedia-like protein transduction domain sequence in their structure, can be efficiently translocated into hES cells and function as pancreatic transcription factor. hPdx1 protein activates a group of genes related to pancreatic beta-cell lineage development in hES cells, including NeuroD1, Nkx2.2, Pax4, Pax6, Nkx6.1 and Isl-1. hPdx1-treated hES cells synthesise and release insulin in response to glucose challenge.
529 23504315 LIM-homeodomain transcription factor Isl-1 mediates the effect of leptin on insulin secretion in mice.
530 23504315 In addition to the well known regulating effects of leptin on energy balance and glucose homeostasis through the central nervous system, circulating leptin has a direct effect on pancreatic islet and insulin secretion through its receptor (OBRb).
531 23504315 The LIM-homeodomain transcription factor Isl-1 is expressed in all classes of pancreatic endocrine cells and is involved in regulating both islet development and insulin secretion.
532 23504315 However, the interactions and physiological significance of leptin and Isl-1 in pancreatic islets remain to be established.

601 23562832 Adenoviral-mediated expression of NEUROG3, Pdx1, and MafA in GBCs resulted in robust induction of pancreatic endocrine genes, including Ins1, Ins2, Neurod1, Nkx2-2 and Isl1.

603 23633267 We present our experience of glucose-sensitive insulin-secreting mesenchymal stem cells (IS-MSC) generated and differentiated from human adipose tissue (h-AD) with application of specific differentiation media, sans xenogenic material. h-AD from donor abdominal wall was collected in proliferation medium composed of α-Minimum Essential Media, albumin, fibroblast-growth factor and antibiotics, minced, incubated in collagenase I at 37 °C with shaker and centrifuged.
604 23633267 They were studied for transcriptional factors paired box genes-6(Pax-6), islet 1 transcriptional factor (Isl-1), pancreatic and duodenal homobox-1(Pdx-1).
605 23828045 At 1 week after multiple low-dose STZ administrations, pancreatic β-cells showed impaired insulin expression, while maintaining expression of nuclear Nkx6.1.
606 23828045 This was accompanied by significant upregulation of p53-responsive genes in islets, including a mediator of cell cycle arrest, p21 (also known as Waf1 and Cip1).
607 23828045 STZ treatment also suppressed expression of a wide range of genes linked with key β-cell functions or diabetes development, such as G6pc2, Slc2a2 (Glut2), Slc30a8, Neurod1, Ucn3, Gad1, Isl1, Foxa2, Vdr, Pdx1, Fkbp1b and Abcc8, suggesting global β-cell defects in STZ-treated islets.
608 23828045 When a pancreas-targeted adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector was employed for long-term Glp-1 gene delivery, pancreatic GLP-1 expression protected mice from STZ-induced diabetes through preservation of the β-cell mass.
609 23828045 Upon pancreatic GLP-1 expression, upregulation of Cxcl13 and Nptx2 was observed in STZ-damaged islets, but not in untreated normal islets.
610 23828045 Given the pro-β-cell-survival effects of Cxcl12 (Sdf-1) in inducing GLP-1 production in α-cells, pancreatic GLP-1-mediated Cxcl13 induction might also play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of β-cells in damaged islets.
