beta cell dysfunction is a central component of the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Using oligonucleotide microarrays and real-time PCR of pancreatic islets isolated from humans with type 2 diabetes versus normal glucose-tolerant controls, we identified multiple changes in expression of genes known to be important in beta cell function, including major decreases in expression of HNF4alpha, insulin receptor, IRS2, Akt2, and several glucose-metabolic-pathway genes. There was also a 90% decrease i ...[more]
