Exendin-4 promotes GSIS without increasing β-cell number through upregulation of glucose-sensing apparatus and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation machinery genes in hPSC-deriv...
Published 2023“…However, GSIS data showed no difference in c-peptide secretion between low (2.8mM) and high (20 mM) glucose but high response to direct cellular depolarization-mediated c-peptide by KCl; suggesting a lack of functional β-cells. Interestingly, addition of Exendin-4 (50 nM) during the last 3 days of the differentiation significantly enhanced GSIS associated with increased expression of glucose-sensing apparatus genes (Glut2, G6P2C, GCK) and genes encoding mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation machinery.…”
