Core Tip Mechanisms underlying β cell dysfunction in diabetes remains unclear, our study explores the role of Ras homolog enriched in brain 1 (Rheb1) in regulating β-cell function and proliferation. The researchers found that Rheb1 is more highly expressed in islets from younger individuals (under 18) compared to adults. Rheb1 promotes β-cell proliferation through both the mTORC1 and AMP-activated protein kinase pathways, rather than relying solely on mTORC1. Moreover, Rheb1 also upregulated key transcription factor HNF4α in β cells. These findings suggest that Rheb1 plays a vital role in β-cell growth and function, making it a promising target for diabetes therapy.
