Free Fatty Acids and Cytokines Induce Pancreatic β-Cell Apoptosis by Different Mechanisms: Role of Nuclear Factor-κB and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress

TL;DR: It is concluded that apoptosis is the main mode of FFA- and cytokine-induced beta-cell death but the mechanisms involved are different, suggesting that FFAs trigger an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response through an NF-kappaB- and nitric oxide-independent mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective Inhibition of Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2α Dephosphorylation Potentiates Fatty Acid-induced Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Causes Pancreatic β-Cell Dysfunction and Apoptosis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that excessive eIF2α phosphorylation is poorly tolerated by β-cells and exacerbates free fatty acid-induced apoptosis, which modifies the present paradigm regarding the beneficial role of eIF 2 α phosphorylated cells and must be taken into consideration when designing therapies to protect β- cells in type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Double-stranded RNA induces pancreatic beta-cell apoptosis by activation of the toll-like receptor 3 and interferon regulatory factor 3 pathways.

TL;DR: PICex and PICin trigger β-cell apoptosis via the TLR3 pathway or IRF-3 signaling, respectively, and execution of Picin-mediated apoptosis depends on autocrine effects of type I IFNs.

Selective Inhibition of Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2 Dephosphorylation Potentiates Fatty Acid-induced Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Causes Pancreatic

TL;DR: In this paper, Salubrinal selectively inhibitseIF2 dephosphorylation, protecting other cells against endo-plasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis, and has beenproposed as a -cell protector.
