Glucagon regulates hepatic kisspeptin to impair insulin secretion.

TLDR
It is shown that glucagon stimulates via cAMP-PKA-CREB signaling hepatic production of the neuropeptide kisspeptin1, which acts on β cells to suppress GSIS, and this indicates a hormonal circuit between the liver and the endocrine pancreas in glycemia regulation and suggests in T2DM a sequential link between hyperglucagonemia via hepatic kisspe leptin1 to impaired insulin secretion.

Cyclic AMP stimulates somatostatin gene transcription by phosphorylation of CREB at serine 133

TL;DR: Results suggest that phosphorylation of CREB may stimulate transcription by a mechanism other than by simply providing negative charge, as CREB mutants containing acidic residues in place of the Ser-133 phosphoacceptor were also transcriptionally inactive.

Metastasis suppressor gene KiSS-1 encodes peptide ligand of a G-protein-coupled receptor.

TL;DR: It is shown that KiSS-1 encodes a carboxy-terminally amidated peptide with 54 amino-acid residues, which is isolated from human placenta as the endogenous ligand of an orphan G-protein-coupled receptor (hOT7T175) and named ‘metastin’.

Induction of Pancreatic Differentiation by Signals from Blood Vessels

TL;DR: A role for blood vessels as a source of developmental signals during pancreatic organogenesis is demonstrated and results indicate that vessels not only provide metabolic sustenance, but also provide inductive signals for organ development.
