Background/aims: There are evidences that a decrease in the functional activity of pancreatic β-cells under type 2 diabetes conditions may be associated with their senescence, therefore, senotherapy may be a prospective strategy for the diabetes treatment.
Methods: The senotherapeutic potential of peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) was studied in RIN-m5F pancreatic β-cells with streptozotocin-induced senescence by measuring markers, associated with senescence.
Results: Exposure to streptozotocin (STZ) resulted in the senescence of the β-cells. The addition of PRDX6 to the culture medium of RIN-m5F β-cells before treatment with STZ decreased the levels of the following senescence markers: the percentage of SA-β-Gal-positive cells, the phosphorylation of histone H2AX and p21 proteins, and the secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 but not the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. These effects were accompanied by a decrease in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the restoration of impaired NF-κB activation. In addition, PRDX6 altered the production of the heat shock protein HSP90: the production of the constitutive form of HSP90-beta decreased, while the level of inducible HSP90-alpha increased.
Conclusion: PRDX6 prevented the senescence of RIN-m5F cells in response to the DNA damage-inducing agent streptozotocin, indicating a potential protective role of PRDX6 in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

UTRs and Ago-2/miR-335 Complex Restricts Amylin Translation in Insulinoma and Human Pancreatic β-Cells.

Amylin promoter and transcriptional factors are well-established, inducible factors in the production of the main amyloidogenic pancreatic hormone, human islet amyloid peptide (hIAPP) or amylin. However, posttranscriptional mechanisms driving hIAPP expression in pancreas remain enigmatic, and hence were explored here. The translational assay revealed that both 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of hIAPP restricted expression of the luciferase constructs only in constructs driven by the hIAPP promoter.

Article Synopsis
- Exosomes are small vesicles that facilitate communication between cells by transporting various molecules like mRNAs and proteins, and they are involved in regulating insulin secretion and glucose levels, especially in diabetic conditions.
- This study explored the effects of exosomes from pancreatic islet β-cells on insulin secretion in naïve β-cells, revealing that they impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) without harming cell viability.
- The exosomes altered key protein levels related to insulin signaling and inflammation, and bioinformatics analysis indicated that certain microRNAs carried by these exosomes may play a significant role in the dysregulation of GSIS in recipient β-cells.

Unlabelled: Glucotoxicity may exert its deleterious effects on pancreatic β-cell function via a myriad of mechanisms, leading to impaired insulin secretion and, eventually, type 2 diabetes. β-cell communication requires gap junction channels to be present among these cells. Gap junctions are constituted by transmembrane proteins of the connexins (Cxs) family.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Pyrrosia petiolosa (Christ) Ching (YBSW) is a Traditional Chinese medicine rich in chlorogenic acids. It is an important component in many Traditional Chinese medicinal hypoglycemic formulas and is commonly used by the Miao people to treat diabetes with good efficacy. Our previous research has suggested that chlorogenic acids may be the active ingredients in YBSW.
