Interaction of genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors plays a significant role in the development of T2DM. Several environmental factors including diet and lifestyle, as well as age have been associated with an increased risk for T2DM. It has been demonstrated that these environmental factors may affect global epigenetic status, and alter the expression of susceptible genes, thereby contributing to the pathogenesis of T2DM. In recent years, a growing body of molecular and genetic studies in diabetes have been focused on the ways to restore the numbers or function of β-cells in order to reverse a range of metabolic consequences of insulin deficiency. The pancreatic duodenal homeobox 1 (PDX-1) is a transcriptional factor that is essential for the development and function of islet cells. A number of studies have shown that there is a significant increase in the level of DNA methylation of PDX-1 resulting in reduced activity in T2DM islets. The decrease in PDX-1 activity may be a critical mediator causing dysregulation of pancreatic β cells in T2DM. This article reviews the epigenetic mechanisms of PDX-1 involved in T2DM, focusing on diabetes and DNA methylation, and discusses some potential strategies for the application of PDX-1 in the treatment of diabetes.Keywords: type 2 diabetes mellitus, β-cells, PDX-1, epigenetic, DNA methylationLiu JLang GShi JDove Medical Pressarticletype 2 diabetes mellitusβ-cellspdx-1epigeneticdna methylationSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 14, Pp 431-442 (2021) |
