βlinc1 encodes a long noncoding RNA that regulates islet β-cell formation and function

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that βlinc1 (β-cell long intergenic noncoding RNA 1), a conserved lncRNA, is necessary for the specification and function of insulin-producing β cells through the coordinated regulation of a number of islet-specific transcription factors located in the genomic vicinity of βlincoln1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ghrelin expression in the mouse pancreas defines a unique multipotent progenitor population.

TL;DR: These studies provide evidence that many of hormone-producing cells within the adult islet represent heterogeneous populations based on their ontogeny, which could have broader implications on the regulation of islet cell ratios and their ability to effectively respond to fluctuations in the metabolic environment during development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nkx2.2 and Arx genetically interact to regulate pancreatic endocrine cell development and endocrine hormone expression

TL;DR: Novel genetic interactions are identified between Nkx2.2 and Arx within the endocrine progenitor cells that ensure the correct specification and regulation of endocrine hormone-producing cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive characterisation of compartment-specific long non-coding RNAs associated with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that lncRNAs are associated with genetic marks of pancreatic cancer risk, contribute to the transcriptional regulation of neoplastic cells and provide an important resource to design functional studies of lnc RNAs in PDA.
