Microarray comparing gene expression changes between control, normoglycaemic mice, and mice expressing the human neonatal diabetes mutation Kir6.2-V59M in pancreatic beta-cells left diabetic for 2 weeks

ABSTRACT: Activating mutations in the KATP channel cause a rare genetic form of diabetes called neonatal diabetes. These mutations render the channel permanently open results in membrane hyperpolarisation of the pancreatic beta-cell. This prevents calcium influx and impairs insulin secretion. Mice expressing the human neonatal diabetes mutation Kir6.2-V59M specifically in pancreatic beta-cells are diabetic but do not display dyslipidaemia or insulin resistance. In this experiment, gene expression changes were analysed to explore the effect of high blood glucose per se on isolated pancreatic islets
