Abstract
The immunoproteasome represents a specialized isoform of the proteasome that is integral to the processes of antigen presentation and protein degradation. While it is primarily expressed in hematopoietic cells, its expression can also be induced in non-hematopoietic cells in response to various inflammatory stimuli. Recent research has highlighted the role of the immunoproteasome in modulating islet β-cell apoptosis and glycolipid metabolism, both of which are critical mechanisms in the pathogenesis of diabetes. Furthermore, the immunoproteasome has been demonstrated to play a significant role in the development of diabetic complications through the activation of various downstream cytokines. Investigating how the immunoproteasome is activated and involved in the pathophysiological processes of diabetes and its complications may provide innovative and promising approaches for diabetes treatment. This review aims to present a comprehensive summary of current research on the role of immunoproteasome in diabetes and its associated complications, ultimately identifying novel strategies for diabetes management and therapy.
期刊介绍:
Genes & Diseases is an international journal for molecular and translational medicine. The journal primarily focuses on publishing investigations on the molecular bases and experimental therapeutics of human diseases. Publication formats include full length research article, review article, short communication, correspondence, perspectives, commentary, views on news, and research watch.
Aims and Scopes
Genes & Diseases publishes rigorously peer-reviewed and high quality original articles and authoritative reviews that focus on the molecular bases of human diseases. Emphasis will be placed on hypothesis-driven, mechanistic studies relevant to pathogenesis and/or experimental therapeutics of human diseases. The journal has worldwide authorship, and a broad scope in basic and translational biomedical research of molecular biology, molecular genetics, and cell biology, including but not limited to cell proliferation and apoptosis, signal transduction, stem cell biology, developmental biology, gene regulation and epigenetics, cancer biology, immunity and infection, neuroscience, disease-specific animal models, gene and cell-based therapies, and regenerative medicine.
