Journal ArticleDOI

Saturated Fatty Acids Synergize with Elevated Glucose to Cause Pancreatic β-Cell Death

TL;DR: The data indicate that FFAs must be metabolized to long chain fatty acyl-CoA to exert toxicity, the effect of which can be reduced by activating fatty acid oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maintenance of beta-cell function and survival following islet isolation requires re-establishment of the islet-matrix relationship.

TL;DR: Routine islet isolation disrupts the cell-matrix relationship leading to a variety of structural and functional abnormalities, including apoptotic cell death, which can be diminished by restoration of a culture microenvironment that includes matrix proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glucagon-like peptide-1 prevents beta cell glucolipotoxicity.

TL;DR: A potent protective effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 on beta cell gluco-, lipo- and glucolipotoxicity is demonstrated, mediated via protein kinase B activation and possibly its downstream target nuclear factor-κB.
Journal Article

Long-term culture and immortalization of epithelial cells from normal adult human pancreatic ducts transfected by the E6E7 gene of human papilloma virus 16.

TL;DR: A reproducible method is reported for the long-term culture of pancreatic duct epithelial cells derived from normal and benign adult human pancreata by infection with a retrovirus containing the E6 and E7 genes of the human papilloma virus 16.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning and sequencing of the pancreatic islet neogenesis associated protein (INGAP) gene and its expression in islet neogenesis in hamsters.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the INGAP gene is a novel pancreatic gene expressed during islet neogenesis whose protein product is a constituent of Ilotropin and is capable of initiating duct cell proliferation, a prerequisite for is let neogenesis.
