Studies of TNF- α-induced -GSIS Inhibition in INS-1 β-cell
… for regulation of plasma glucose concentration. GSIS depends on coordinated glucose uptakes, oxidative metabolism nd Ca(2+)+-triggered insulin exocytosis. Imparied GSIS is a hallmark of type Ⅱ Diabetes. It has been reported that TNF-α, proinflammatory cytokine, was increased in obese type Ⅱ …

Investigation of molecular and cellular events associated with beta cell function and elucidation of extracellular RNAs as potential biomarker for diabetes
… status. Glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) is lost in long-term cultured MIN6 heterogeneous cells. MIN6 B1, a clonal sub-line derived from MIN6, has been described as highly glucose-responsive. This study aimed to investigate the GSIS function, changes in gene expression and, …

New Roles of the Transcription Factor NKX6.1 in Beta Cell Biology
… glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), and a gradual diminution of beta cell mass. To identify genes that are involved in GSIS and contribute to the mature beta cell phenotype, a panel of beta cell lines with varying capacities for GSIS was employed for a candidate gene screen. …

Small gtp-binding proteins in insulin secretion
… leading to Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion [GSIS] might serve as therapeutic potential towards diabetes. GSIS involves interplay between small G-proteins and their regulatory factors. Herein, I tested the hypothesis that Arf nucleotide binding site opener [ARNO], a guanine nucleotide exchange …

Pyruvate Cycling Pathways and Glucose-Stimulated Insulin Secretion in Pancreatic Beta Cells
… decreased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), pyruvate cycling, and NADPH. Organic acid profiling revealed that decreased pyruvate cycling was compensated by an increase in lactate and stable pyruvate levels. This work established an important role for ICDc in maintaining GSIS through …

Genetic and epigenetic influence on oxidative phosphorylation, islet function and type 2 diabetes in humans
… role in glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the influence of genetic and epigenetic variation on OXPHOS, islet function and T2D in humans. In study I, we identified a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in TFB1M, a nuclear-encoded factor …

Shared Metabolic Pathways in Fuel-Stimulated Insulin Secretion
… during glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) or glutamine oxidation or ATP production during amino acid-stimulated insulin secretion (AASIS). Similar to previous findings, glucose-induced NADPH production was determined to be decreased in response to OGC suppression, whereas NADPH …

TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING AND TEACHING: USING THE NATIONAL WRITING PROJECT`S TOOLS AND PRINCIPLES TO PREPARE GRADUATE STUDENT INSTRUCTORS TO FACILITATE FIRST-YEAR COMPOSITION
… and preparing graduate student instructors (GSIs) to teach first-year composition. This question arises out of the need for knowledge-building graduate student preparation programs that keep pace with the increased demands of the first-year composition course and of the first-year composition …

Processes controlling the behavior of LNAPLs at groundwater surface water interfaces
… at groundwater surface water interfaces (GSIs). Governing processes were investigated via laboratory studies and a preliminary analysis of forces controlling LNAPL occurrence in unsaturated media. A total of six laboratory sand tank experiments were conducted using novel applications of …

Exocytosis in Type 2 Diabetes- Functional and genetic studies of hormone secretion
… with glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and negatively with HbA1c levels. Furthermore, silencing of Syt4, Syt7 and Syt13 in INS1-832/13 cells correlate with reduced levels of GSIS. In paper IV exocytosis in human beta-cells was studied to generate a risk score consisting of 4 SNPs …

The impact of glucotoxicity on pancreatic β-cell function
… impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). The aim of present thesis was to investigate the impact of long-term hyperglycemia on the pancreatic islet β-cell function. The data showed abnormally increased expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein in the islets from …

Notch Signaling Is Important in the Survival, Proliferation, and Self-Renewal of the Putative Breast Cancer Stem Cell Population
… blocked by gamma-secretase inhibitors (GSIs). While GSIs are currently in clinical trials for breast cancer, it is not fully understood how these compounds will affect CSCs or if CSCs from different breast cancer phenotypes will be differentially affected.</p><p>The stem cell-like …

Regulation of Exocytosis by Syntaxin 4-Munc18c Complexes
… defects in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) from the pancreatic beta cells in combination with defects in peripheral (muscle and adipose) tissue glucose uptake. Both GSIS and glucose uptake are regulated by Syntaxin 4 (Syn4)-Munc18c complexes. Importantly, reports link obesity and Type …

Characterisation and pharmacological regulation of GLP-1-mediated glucose homeostasis
… promoting glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in the pancreatic β cells and inhibiting glucagon secretion in the pancreatic α cells. Given its proven clinical efficacy in reducing long term blood glucose level, GLP-1-based treatments, such as exenatide and liraglutide, have been widely …

Three-dimensional structure of a type III glutamine synthetase by single particle reconstruction
… in relation to the extensively characterised GSIs. GSIIIs are the most recently discovered family of GSs and are the most phylogenitically distant GSs from the GSIs. Images (160) of negatively stained rGlnA, expressed in E.coli YMC11 (glnA-), were recorded at 50K magnification using a Leo 912 …

Mechanisms of regulation of islet function by nadph oxidase
<p>Glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) involves a series of metabolic and cationic events, leading to translocation of insulin-laden secretory granules from a distal site toward the plasma membrane for fusion and release of insulin into circulation. Vesicular transport and fusion events are …
