Suggested model of the interaction between Igf1r and senescence in adult mouse β-cells. Our results suggest that downregulation of Igf1r in senescent β-cell leads to decreased p16 gene expression and p21 protein levels, both markers and effectors of senescence, decreased gene expression of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors in a model of a high-fat diet, and improved glucose clearance and restored loss of glucose responsiveness compared to βIgf1r (control) in intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT).
