Reduced miR-184-3p expression occurring in Type 2 diabetic pancreatic islets protects β-cells from lipotoxic and proinflammatory apoptosis via a CRTC1-dependent mechanism

G. E. Grieco, N. Brusco, L. Nigi, C. Formichi, D. Fignani, G. Licata, L. Marselli, P. Marchetti, L. Salvini, L. Tinti, A. Po, E. Ferretti, G. Sebastiani, F. Dotta

The paper shows reduced miR-184-3p in T2D pancreatic islets protects β-cells from apoptosis by upregulating CRTC1, with NKX6.1 controlling miR-184-3p expression.

SARS-CoV-2 receptor Angiotensin I-Converting Enzyme type 2 (ACE2) is expressed in human pancreatic β-cells and in the human pancreas microvasculature

D. Fignani, G. Licata, N. Brusco, L. Nigi, G. E. Grieco, L. Marselli, L. Overbergh, C. Gysemans, M. L. Colli, P. Marchetti, C. Mathieu, D. L. Eizirik, G. Sebastiani, F. Dotta

This study shows ACE2 is expressed in human pancreatic β-cells and microvasculature, suggesting a potential link between SARS-CoV-2 and diabetes through β-cell infection or microvasculature involvement.
