Decrease in PI-3K/AKT1 survival signaling mediates DN-HNF-1alpha-induced apoptosis
Published in Diabetes Week, April 10th, 2006
"Inactivating mutations in Tcf1, which encodes the transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-1alpha, cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young-3. We have previously shown that a dominant-negative mutant (DN-HNF-1alpha) renders INS-1 insulinoma cells sensitive to the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, but the underlying alterations in signal transduction remain unknown," scientists in Ireland report.
