GW8510 increases insulin expression in pancreatic alpha cells through activation of p53 transcriptional activity.

Expression of insulin in terminally differentiated non-beta cell types in the pancreas could be important to treating type-1 diabetes. Previous findings led us to hypothesize involvement of kinase inhibition in induction of insulin expression in pancreatic alpha cells.Alpha (αTC1.6) cells and human...
