N2 - To enhance the knowledge of β-cell dedifferentiation (BCD) and its causal role in Type 2 diabetes (T2D), my studies employed β-cell line mouse insulinoma 6 (MIN6) and db/db islets from T2D model mice thereby establishing those as models of dedifferentiation. Vitamin D receptor (VDR)-targeted therapy that employed LCA propionate was utilized to treat early passage MIN6 and db/+ mice islets in the pre-diabetic state to protect β-cell from undergoing dedifferentiation. Furthermore, my research using MIN6 and db/db also identified a novel druggable compound ANJR12947285, which has the potential to induce redifferentiation in dedifferentiated β-cell.
