Immunohistochemical assessment of Pax8 expression during pancreatic islet development and in human neuroendocrine tumors
(Springer Verlag, 2011)
The paired box transcription factor Pax8 is critical for development of the eye, thyroid gland as well as the urinary and reproductive organs. In adult, Pax8 overexpression is associated with kidney, ovarian and thyroid ...

LRH-1 agonism favours an immune-islet dialogue which protects against diabetes mellitus
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-04-16)
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is due to the selective destruction of islet beta cells by immune cells. Current therapies focused on repressing the immune attack or stimulating beta cell regeneration still have limited ...

PAX4 preserves endoplasmic reticulum integrity preventing beta cell degeneration in a mouse model of type 1 diabetes mellitus
(Springer Nature, 2016)
[Aims/hypothesis]: A strategy to enhance pancreatic islet functional beta cell mass (BCM) while restraining inflammation, through the manipulation of molecular and cellular targets, would provide a means to counteract the ...

Molecular modelling of islet β-cell adaptation to inflammation in pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019)
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a metabolic disease that develops with the increase in insulin resistance during late pregnancy, is currently one of the most common complications affecting pregnancy. The polygenic ...

The diabetes-linked transcription factor PAX4: from gene to functional consequences
(MDPI, 2017)
Paired box 4 (PAX4) is a key factor in the generation of insulin producing β-cells during embryonic development. In adult islets, PAX4 expression is sequestered to a subset of β-cells that are prone to proliferation and ...

The PTGS2/COX2-PGE2 Signaling Cascade in Inflammation: Pro or Anti? A Case Study with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
(Ivyspring International Publisher, 2023)
Prostaglandins are lipid mediators involved in physiological processes, such as constriction or dilation of blood vessels, but also pathophysiological processes, which include inflammation, pain and fever. They are produced ...
