Pancreatic β Cell Dedifferentiation in Diabetes and Redifferentiation following Insulin Therapy

Abstract

Diabetes is characterized by ‘glucotoxic’ loss of pancreatic β-cell function and insulin content, but underlying mechanisms remain unclear. A mouse model of insulin-secretory deficiency induced by β-cell inexcitability (KATP gain-of-function) demonstrates development of diabetes and reiterates the features of human neonatal diabetes. In the diabetic state, β-cells lose their mature identity and dedifferentiate to neurogenin3-positive and insulin-negative cells. Lineage-tracing experiments show that dedifferentiated cells can subsequently re-differentiate to mature neurogenin3-negative, insulin-positive, β-cells after lowering of blood glucose by insulin therapy. We demonstrate here that β-cell dedifferentiation, rather than apoptosis, is the main mechanism of loss of insulin-positive cells, and re-differentiation accounts for restoration of insulin content and antidiabetic-drug responsivity in these animals. These results may help explain gradual decrease in β-cell mass in long-standing diabetes, and recovery of β-cell function and drug responsivity in type-2 diabetic patients following insulin therapy, and suggest an approach to rescuing ‘exhausted’ β-cells in diabetes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
