This Project Grant award of $847,746 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) supports research to investigate the role of the UPR transducer XBP1 in pancreatic beta cell survival and function under metabolic stress. The research aims to elucidate the impact of XBP1S overexpression on beta cell integrity and the potential mechanisms underlying dynamic beta cell state transitions facilitated by XBP1S, particularly in the context of obesity and type 2 diabetes progression. The 5-year project will utilize a novel mouse model, human islets, and cell lines to advance understanding of how metabolic stress disrupts the adaptive remodeling of beta cells mediated by XBP1S, with the goal of informing the development of more effective therapeutic interventions to prevent beta cell loss in type 2 diabetes.
