We shall explore genetic function by a combination of genetic and functional assays. First, via expression profiling, we intend to determine which genes for mitochondrial proteins are altered in pancreatic β-cells, liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. This will be performed in material from i) humans with or without the disease, ii) in genetically or pharmacologically manipulated animals an

To accomplish these goals we will: A) establish the stimulus-secretion coupling in human pancreatic islets from non-diabetic organ donors to obtain proof of concepts derived from rodent studies; these data will also establish the gold standard for efforts to differentiate embryonic stem cells into mature islet cells. B) Combine islet studies with genetic and metabolic studies in humanA) Our knowle

How do we get people from different cultures, industries and worlds to sit down and talk to each other? First, they need to be brought together, and this alone requires the right person for the job.

PI: Nils Wierup The emergence of morbidly obese patients has prompted novel approaches to achieve weight reduction. Given that energy reduction by dieting is largely unsuccessful in this paitent group, surgical procedures have instead been developed to dramatically restrict food intake. Indeed, over the course of months patients may loose up to 50% in body weight. In addition, the majority of pati

PI: Albert Salehi The antiology of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes is complex and involves the interaction between both genetic and environmental factors (also including nutritional and metabolic signals). It has been known for at long time that dysfunction fo pancreatic islets cell (α-, β- and δ-cell) is a critical factor in the development and progression of these diseases.One of the larg

Glucolipotoxicity:We will identify defects in the regulation of adipose tissue lipid metabolism associated with obesity and diabetes using models with altered expression of hormone sensitive lipase (HSL), the rate-limiting step in lipolysis 39 and phosphodiesterase3B (PDE3B) 40-42, a key enzyme controlling insulin action HSL activity. Altered profiles of lipid derived second messengers and alterat

New drug targetsWe have in the different sections tested a number of pathways as putative new drug targets including exploring the role of TXNIP for the development of glucotoxicity in β-cells, muscle and kidney and the role of glucokinase in the β-cells. We have also explored the role of Ncf1 in thymus mediated control of tolerance. Potentially, all studied pathways can include regulatory steps w
