Article Abstract

Transcription factor Islet-1 (Isl1) and ubiquitin ligase Ring Finger 20 (Rnf20) complexes regulate insulin secretion and β-cell gene expression in vitro. Loss of Rnf20 in adult β-cells disrupts β-cell identity and insulin processing, production, and secretion. In complex with Isl1, Rnf20 influences the β-cell regulome and supports proper glucose homeostasis.

Expression of long non-coding RNAs MALAT1, MEG3, and XIST in gestational diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study.

Background And Aims: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance first identified during pregnancy that does not meet the criteria for overt diabetes. Its pathophysiology shares key features with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), including insulin resistance and inflammation. Emerging evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in T2D.

Kinases are activators of well‑known inflammatory cascades implicated in metabolic disorders, and abnormal activation of casein kinase II (CK2) is associated with several inflammatory disorders. However, thus far, its role in the low‑grade chronic inflammatory response known as 'metaflammation', which is a hallmark of obesity and type 2 diabetes, has not yet been elucidated. The present study aimed to evaluate the role of CK2 in diet‑induced metaflammation and the effects of the CK2 inhibitor 4,5,6,7‑tetrabromobenzotriazole (TBB) on a murine model fed a high‑fat‑high‑sugar (HFHS) diet.

Hypocretin: a promising target for the regulation of homeostasis.

Front Neurosci

August 2025

Beijing Life Science Academy, Beijing, China.

Hypocretin, also known as orexin, is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that regulates essential physiological processes including arousal, energy metabolism, feeding behavior, and emotional states. Through widespread projections and two G-protein-coupled receptors-HCRT-1R and HCRT-2R-the hypocretin system exerts diverse modulatory effects across the central nervous system. The role of hypocretin in maintaining wakefulness is well established, particularly in narcolepsy type 1 (NT1), where loss of hypocretin neurons leads to excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy.

Neuronal insulin signaling is essential for regulating glucose metabolism and cognitive functions in the brain. Disruptions cause neuronal insulin resistance, potentially causing type 2 diabetes (T2D) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, we investigated alternative pathways that maintain glucose homeostasis beyond traditional insulin signaling.
