LGR4 is essential for maintaining β-cell homeostasis through suppression of RANK by Joanna Filipowska, Zelda Cisneros, Sneha S. Varghese, Nancy Leon-Rivera, Peng Wang, Randy Kang, Geming Lu, Yate-Ching Yuan, Hung-Ping Shih, Supriyo Bhattacharya, Sangeeta Dhawan, Adolfo Garcia-Ocaña, Nagesha Guthalu Kondegowda, Rupangi C. Vasavada

“…To determine the role of LGR4 we employed in vitro Lgr4 loss and gain of function in primary rodent and human β-cells and examined its mechanism of action in the rodent INS1 cell line. Using Lgr4fl/fl and Lgr4fl/fl/Rankfl/fl × Ins1-Cre mice we generated β-cell-specific conditional knockout (cko) mice to test the role of LGR4 and its interaction with RANK in vivo under basal and stress-induced conditions. …”
