The function of islet macrophages is poorly understood. They promote glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in lean mice, however, the underlying mechanism has remained unclear. We show that activation of the free fatty acid receptor FFAR4 on islet macrophages leads to interleukin-6 (IL-6) r...

The short chain fatty acid (SCFA) receptor (free fatty acid receptor-3; FFAR3) is expressed in pancreatic beta cells; however, its role in insulin secretion is not clearly defined. Here, we examined the role of FFAR3 in insulin secretion. Using islets from global knockout FFAR3 (Ffar3-/-) mice, we e...

Pancreatic beta cells secrete insulin as a response to rising glucose levels in the blood, a process that is known as glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). Although GSIS has been extensively studied, not all associated mechanisms are fully understood at the molecular level. In this study, we ...

Defective insulin secretion by pancreatic β cells underlies the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). High fat diet-fed mice are commonly used to study diabetes progression, but studies are usually limited to a single strain, such as C57Bl/6J. Here, we use a systems biology approach to integrate la...

The pancreas plays a critical role in maintaining glucose homeostasis through the secretion of hormones from the islets of Langerhans. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) by the pancreatic beta-cell is the main mechanism for reducing elevated plasma glucose. Here we present a systematic mode...

The winged helix transcription factor Foxa2 regulates Pdx1 gene expression and fetal endocrine pancreas development. We show here by inducible gene ablation that Foxa2 inactivation in mature beta-cells induces hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in Foxa2loxP/loxP, Pdx1-CreERT2 adult mice. Mutant beta-cell...
