title: Novel genes underlying beta cell survival in metabolic stress.
abstract: Relative insulin deficiency, in response to increased metabolic demand (obesity, genetic insulin resistance, pregnancy and aging) lead to Type2 diabetes. Susceptibility of the type 2 diabetes has a genetic basis, as a subset of people with risk factors (obesity, Insulin Resistance, pregnancy), develop Type2 Diabetes. We aimed to identify 'cluster' of overexpressed genes, underlying increased beta cell survival in diabetes resistant C57BL/6J ob/ob mice (compared to diabetes susceptible BTBR ob/ob mice). We used 'consensus' overexpression status to identify 'cluster' of 11 genes consisting of Aldh18a1, Rfc4, Dynlt3, Prom1, H13, Psen1, Ssr4, Dad1, Anpep, Fam111a and Plk1. Information (biological processes, molecular functions, cellular components, protein-protein interactions/associations, gene deletion/knockout/inhibition studies) of all the genes in 'cluster' were collected by text mining using different literature search tools, gene information databases and protein-protein interaction databases. Beta cell specific function of these genes were also inferred using meta analysis tool of Beta Cell Biology Consortium, by studying the expression pattern of these genes in microarray studies related to beta-cell stimulation/injury, pancreas development and growth and cell differentiation. In the 'clusters', 6 genes (Dad1, Psen1, Ssr4, Rfc4, H13, Plk1) have a role in cell survival. Only Psen1 was previously identified to have role in successful beta cell compensation. We advocate these genes to be potentially involved in successful beta cell compensation and prevent T2D in humans, by conferring protection against diabetogenic insults.
