Helicase-like transcription factor (Hltf)-deletion activates Hmgb1-Rage axis and granzyme A-mediated killing of pancreatic β cells resulting in neonatal lethality.

Epigenetic mechanisms are integral to pancreatic β cell function. Promoter hypermethylation of the helicase like-transcription factor (HLTF) gene-a component of the cellular DNA damage response that contributes to genome stability-has been implicated in age-associated changes in β cells. To study HL...
