Resveratrol, a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound, has been shown to improve glycaemic control in diabetic patients, but its action on pancreatic ?-cells is not well understood.Findings: Using mouse ?-cells (?TC9), we showed that resveratrol induces expression of pancreatic ?-cell genes such as Pdx1 and Ins2 in a SirT1-dependent manner. The mRNA and protein levels of insulin were further increased by histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition.Conclusion: In summary, we provide new mechanistic insight into the anti-diabetic action of resveratrol through its ability to express ?-cell genes in ?-cells. © 2013 Xie et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. | Source Title: | Cell and Bioscience | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/182045 | ISSN: | 20453701 | DOI: | 10.1186/2045-3701-3-47 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
