Proinflammatory Cytokines Suppress Nonsense-Mediated RNA Decay to Impair Regulated Transcript Isoform Processing in Pancreatic β-Cells
Seyed Mojtaba Ghiasi, Piero Marchetti, Lorenzo Piemonti…·Guy A. Rutter
This study shows proinflammatory cytokines suppress NMD activity in β-cells by downregulating UPF3B, leading to increased alternative splicing and ECM-related gene expression, which contributes to β-cell dysfunction.
