Foxa1 and Foxa2 play both redundant and distinct roles in early pancreas development. We demonstrate here that inducible ablation of both transcription factors in mature mouse beta-cells leads to impaired glucose homeostasis and insulin secretion. The defects in both glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and intracellular calcium oscillation are more pronounced than those in beta-cells lacking only Foxa2. Unexpectedly, in contrast to the severe reduction of beta-cell-enriched factors contributing ...[more]
