Primary cilia coordinate c-KIT signaling induced proliferation in alpha cells

Ganga Deshar, Mariam G. Aslanyan, Gaurav D. Diwan, Alexandros Karagiannopoulos, Tina Beyer, Fabiola Campestre, Alicia Vilas, Irene Cózar‐Castellano, Lena Eliasson, Robert B. Russell, Karsten Boldt, Ronald Roepman, Soeren T. Christensen, Lotte Bang Pedersen, Jakob Grunnet Knudsen

The paper identifies primary cilia as a signaling platform for c-KIT in pancreatic alpha cells, showing that c-KIT signaling via SCF promotes proliferation and may contribute to hyperglucagonemia in obesity and diabetes.

Glucose derived redox equivalents preserve PKA activity and glucagon secretion during hypoglycaemia

Alexander Frueh, Georgios Katzilieris‐Petras, Caroline L. Pedersen, Maia H. Ekstrand, Ganga Deshar, Renata Ialchina, Hayden Paige, Dorthe Nielsen, Daniel Bjørklund Andersen, Jens Juul Holst, Peter Spegel, Per Pedersen, Jakob Grunnet Knudsen

This study shows that glucose metabolism via the pentose phosphate pathway maintains PKA activity and glucagon secretion during hypoglycaemia by elevating cytosolic redox potential.
