Locally released cytokines contribute to beta cell dysfunction and apoptosis in Type 1 diabetes. In vitro exposure of insulin producing INS-1E cells to the cytokines interleukin (IL)-1beta + interferon (IFN) gamma leads to a significant increase in apoptosis. To characterize the genetic networks im...

Viral infections and local production of IFNgamma might contribute to beta-cell dysfunction/death in Type 1 diabetes. Double stranded RNA accumulates in the cytosol of viral-infected cells, and exposure of purified rat beta cells to dsRNA (polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid, PIC) in combination with IF...

Pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction and death are central in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Saturated fatty acids cause beta-cell failure and contribute to diabetes development in genetically predisposed individuals. Here we used RNA-sequencing to map transcripts expressed in five palmitate-treat...

The TET-family enzymes (TETs) convert methylcytosine to hydroxymethylcytosine, a lately discovered epigenetic modification that can modulate transcription. While recent reports suggest that TETs may play a role in response to oxidative stress, this role remains uncertain. Here we show that Tet1 is s...
