Findings in diabetes pathogenesis provide new insights
March 6th, 2006
Reports from Japan, Sweden and Denmark highlight recent research on diabetes pathogenesis. Study 1: Insulin signaling in bone marrow stroma PA6 cells differs from extramedullary adipocytes. According to recent research from Japan, "The stromal MC3T3-G2/PA6 (PA6) cells from mouse clavaria did not require insulin for differentiation into mature adipose cells, although insulin is well known to play a key role in adipocyte differentiation. Large lipid droplets were observed in the cytoplasm of PA6 cells, and mRNA expression of the adipose specific proteins (aP2, PPAR gamma, C/EBP alpha, FAS, GLUT4, leptin, and adiponectin) as differentiation markers...
