• Cyclin D3 promotes pancreatic beta-cell fitness and viability in a cell cycle-independent manner and is targeted in autoimmune diabetes 

  Saavedra Ávila, Noemí Alejandra; Sengupta, Upasana; Sánchez, Begoña; Sala, Ester; Haba, Laura; Stratmann, Thomas; Verdaguer Autonell, Joan; Mauricio Puente, Dídac; Mezquita, Bélen; Ropero, Ana Belén; Nadal, Ángel; Mora Giral, Concepció (PNAS, 2014-08-04)

  Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition caused by the lymphocyte-mediated destruction of the insulin-producing β cells in pancreatic islets. We aimed to identify final molecular entities targeted by the autoimmune assault ...

• CDK11 promotes cytokine-induced apoptosis in pancreatic beta cells independently of glucose concentration and is regulated by inflammation in the NOD mouse model 

  Sala Solé, Ester; Vived Maza, Celia; Luna Salinas, Júlia; Saavedra Ávila, Noemí Alejandra; Sengupta, Upasana; Castaño, A.

  Background: Pancreatic islets are exposed to strong pro-apoptotic stimuli: inflammation and hyperglycemia, during the progression of the autoimmune diabetes (T1D). We found that the Cdk11(Cyclin Dependent Kinase 11) is ...

• In vivo diabetogenic action of CD41+ T lymphocytes requires Fas expression and is independent of IL-1 and IL-18 

  Wen, Li; Green, E. Allison; Stratmann, Thomas; Panosa, Anaïs; Gomis, Ramon; Eynon, Elizabeth E.; Flavell, Richard A.; Mezquita, Jovita A.; Mora Giral, Concepció (Wiley, 2011)

  CD4+ T lymphocytes are required to induce spontaneous autoimmune diabetes in the NOD (Non Obese Diabetic) mouse. Since pancreatic β cells upregulate Fas expression upon exposure to proinflammatory cytokines, we studied ...
