We recently developed a new T2D model, the Oikawa-Nagao (ON) mouse, by selectively breeding mice with inferior glucose tolerance [diabetes-prone (ON mouse DP®; ON-DP) strain] and superior glucose tolerance [diabetes-resistant (ON mouse DR®; ON-DR) strain] on a high-fat diet. ON-DP mice are predisposed to develop diabetes and obesity after being fed a high-fat diet, compared to ON-DR mice. These phenotypes provide valuable insights into the genetic and environmental interactions for the etiology of T2D. Our studies revealed that the emergence of these phenotypes is associated with novel pathophysiological mechanisms, such as low insulin secretion capacity associated with high CD36 expression in pancreatic β-cells and hypoleptinemia preceding obesity due to low leptin secretion capacity in adipocytes. In addition, ON-DP mice fed an atherogenic diet exhibit accelerated atherosclerosis, likely related to blood glucose fluctuations. These findings provide new perspectives on the pathogenesis of T2D and suggest potential prevention and treatment strategies. This review will present the development strategy of the ON mouse strain, representative metabolic phenotypes, and discuss the mechanisms driving these traits, and explore their relevance to human T2D and obesity.</p>","PeriodicalId":11340,"journal":{"name":"Diabetology International","volume":"16 1","pages":"13-22"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11769927/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143058072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The clinical management of CLTI is also discussed. Diabetes mellitus has notable clinical impact on CLTI and vice versa. CLTI has different clinical features from those of other atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Its clinical profile also differs between individuals with both diabetes mellitus and CLTI and general people with diabetes mellitus. There is considerable room for improvement in CLTI treatment and management.

We have previously reported that CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein β (C/EBPβ) is highly induced by ER stress in pancreatic β cells. Moreover, its accumulation hampers the response of these cells to ER stress by inhibiting the induction of the molecular chaperone 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78). We also demonstrated that C/EBPβ is phosphorylated by CK2, which is reportedly associated with the ER stress signal. In the present study, we aimed to clarify the mechanisms underlying the effect of CK2 on pancreatic β cells using a CK2-specific inhibitor, CX4945, and shRNA-mediated knockdown and overexpression of CK2β, the regulatory subunit of CK2. The results indicate that CK2 was activated in MIN6 cells under ER stress and in pancreatic β cells of a diabetic mouse model. Under normal conditions, CK2 interacted with FL-ATF6α in MIN6 cells and regulated the expression of GRP78 and ERAD-associated proteins. Mechanistically, CK2 activation in MIN6 cells upon the overexpression of the CK2β subunit reduced ER stress signals and the accumulation of unfolded proteins via an increase in GRP78 and ERAD-associated protein levels. These results highlight the important role of CK2 in protecting against ER stress-induced apoptosis by regulating GRP78 and ERAD proteins. CK2 contributed to the clearance of unfolded or misfolded proteins in MIN6 cells under both normal and ER stress conditions. Therefore, CK2 activation could be a promising novel approach for preventing type 2 diabetes.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13340-024-00775-w.</p>","PeriodicalId":11340,"journal":{"name":"Diabetology International","volume":"16 1","pages":"131-144"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11769914/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143058473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We demonstrated that pancreatic ductal cells are a source of β-cells both after birth and during regeneration after partial duct ligation: cell lineage tracing showed that 39% of growing islets and 50% of adult islets during tissue regeneration contained β-cells differentiated from duct cells. We also examined the factors contributing to β-cell depletion. Insulin and cyclin A genes are tightly regulated by transcriptional activators and repressors, and we found that imbalanced and excessive levels of repressors result in a drastic reduction of insulin and β-cell numbers, leading to severe diabetes. Thus, we searched for factors that induce β-cell proliferation in vivo. In our transgenic (Tg) mice, there was a sex difference in the progression of diabetes and sex steroid hormones were shown to contribute to this. Surprisingly, in diabetic male Tg mice, modulation of sex steroid hormones under certain conditions resulted in a marked increase of β-cells.
