To identify the pathways that are coordinately regulated in pancreatic β cells, muscle, liver, and fat to control fasting glycemia we fed C57Bl/6, DBA/2, and Balb/c mice a regular chow or a high fat diet for 5, 13, and 33 days. Physiological, transcriptomic and lipidomic data were used in a data fusion approach to identify organ-specific pathways linked to fasting glycemia across all conditions investigated. In pancreatic islets, constant insulinemia despite higher glycemic levels was associated with reduced expression of hormone and neurotransmitter receptors, OXPHOS, cadherins, integrins, and gap junction mRNAs.

Islet β-cell dysfunction is an underlying factor for type I diabetes (T1D) development. Insulin sensing and secretion are tightly regulated in β-cells at multiple subcellular levels. The epithelial intermediate filament (IF) protein keratin (K) 8 is the main β-cell keratin, constituting the filament network with K18.

Decreased pancreatic β-cell volume is a serious problem in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and there is a need to establish appropriate treatments. Increasingly, sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, which have a protective effect on pancreatic β-cells, are being prescribed to treat diabetes; however, the underlying mechanism is not well understood. We previously administered SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin to a mouse model of type 2 diabetes and found significant changes in gene expression in the early-treated group, which led us to hypothesize that epigenetic regulation was a possible mechanism of these changes.

Pancreatic islet transplantation is a promising treatment for type 1 diabetes, but the survival and function of transplanted islets are hindered by the loss of extracellular matrix (ECM) during islet isolation and by low oxygenation upon implantation. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of hypoxia on ECM using a cutting-edge imaging approach based on tissue clearing and 3D microscopy. Human and rat islets were cultured under normoxic (O 21%) or hypoxic (O 1%) conditions.
