Tobacco as biofactory for biologically active hPL production: a human hormone with potential applications in type-1 diabetes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Human placental lactogen (hPL) is a peptidic hormone that belongs to the short list of growth factors that could treat type-1 diabetes through pancreatic islet transplantation. Placental lactogen has the capacity to improve islet survival and function before or after transplantation. In this study,

Mouse beta-TC6 insulinoma cells: high expression of functional alpha3beta4 nicotinic receptors mediating membrane potential, intracellular calcium, and insulin release.

Only registered users can translate articles

Nicotine elicited membrane depolarization, elevation of intracellular calcium, rubidium efflux, and release of insulin from mouse beta-TC6 insulinoma cells. Such responses were blocked by the nicotinic antagonist mecamylamine but not by the muscarinic antagonist atropine. Neither the selective

Nicotine Triggers Islet β Cell Senescence to Facilitate the Progression of Type 2 Diabetes

Only registered users can translate articles

Cigarette smoking is a well-recognized risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and may result in islet β cell damage and impaired insulin secretion. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. In the present study, we demonstrated that nicotine induced premature senescence of

Engineering and expression of the intracellular domain of insulinoma-associated tyrosine phosphatase (IA-2ic), a type 1 diabetes autoantigen, in plants.

We have produced the recombinant intracellular domain of human IA-2 (IA-2ic), a diabetes-associated autoantigen, in plants. This was achieved by transient expression using agroinfiltration of Nicotiana benthamiana plants. The resulting plant-derived IA-2ic had the expected size, reacted with

Spermidine regulates insulin synthesis and cytoplasmic Ca(2+) in mouse beta-TC6 insulinoma cells.

In order to assess the functional role of the polyamines spermidine and spermine in pancreatic beta-cells, we examined the effect of spermidine and spermine synthase inhibitors, trans-4-methylcyclohexylamine (MCHA) and N-(3-aminopropyl)cyclohexylamine (APCHA), on cellular polyamine and insulin

Co-existence of muscarinic and nicotinic receptors and their functional interaction in mouse Beta-TC6 cells.
