In the natural history of the progression of T2D, factors such as genetics, early life exposures, lifestyle, and obesity dictate an individual's susceptibility risk to disease. Obesity is associated with insulin resistance and increased demand for insulin to maintain glucose homeostasis. Studies in both mouse and human islets have implicated the β-cell's ability to compensate through proliferation and survival (increasing functional β-cell mass) as a tipping point toward the development of disease. A growing body of evidence suggests the reduction of β-cell mass in T2D is driven majorly by loss of β-cell identity, rather than by apoptosis alone. The development and maintenance of pancreatic β-cell identity, function, and adaptation to stress is governed, in part, by the spatiotemporal expression of transcription factors (TFs), whose activity is regulated by signal-dependent post-translational modifications (PTM). In this review, we examine the role of these TFs in the developing pancreas and in the mature β-cell.

Genomic analyses of PDAC and panNET revealed that certain signaling pathways such as those triggered by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) are frequently altered, highlighting their crucial role in pancreatic tumor development. In PDAC, TGF-β plays a dual role acting as a tumor suppressor in healthy tissue and early stages of tumor development but as a promoter of tumor progression in later stages. This peptide growth factor acts as a potent inducer of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a developmental program that transforms otherwise stationary epithelial cells to invasive mesenchymal cells with enhanced metastatic potential.
