A MAFG-lncRNA axis links systemic nutrient abundance to hepatic glucose metabolism

TL;DR: A transcription factor–LncRNA pathway that couples hepatocyte nutrient sensing to regulation of glucose metabolism in mice is described, and it is found that obesity-repressed LincIRS2 is controlled by MAFG and that genetic and RNAi-mediated Linc IRS2 loss causes elevated blood glucose, insulin resistance and aberrant glucose output in lean mice.

Differential Transcriptional and Posttranslational Transcription Factor 7-Like 2 Regulation Among Nondiabetic Individuals and Type 2 Diabetic Patients

TL;DR: The results suggest that, in human immortalized lymphocytes carrying the at-risk T/T genotype, first the differential expression of TCF7L2 splice variants implies a regulation, at least for exon 4, by TRA2B and second, the differential protein levels between both T/ T carriers point to a different activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress pathways.
