Dysregulation of the Pdx1/Ovol2/Zeb2 axis in dedifferentiated β-cells triggers the induction of genes associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition in diabetes by de Jesus, Daniel S., Mak, Tracy C. S., Wang, Yi-Fang, von Ohlen, Yorrick, Bai, Ying, Kane, Eva, Chabosseau, Pauline, Chahrour, Catherine M., Distaso, Walter, Salem, Victoria, Tomas, Alejandra, Stoffel, Markus, Rutter, Guy A., Latreille, Mathieu

“…We carried out loss- and gain-of-function experiments in MIN6 and EndoC-bH1 cell lines. We analysed previously published mouse andhuman T2D data sets.Results:Bulk RNA-seq revealed thatb-cell dedifferentiation is associated with the induction of genes associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in prediabetic (2-week-old) and diabetic (12-week-old) Tg7 mice. …”
