Proposed mechanism that controls β-cell fate in response to nitric oxide. In response to nitric oxide (supplied exogenously using donor molecules or endogenously following cytokine treatment) there is the loss of Akt-dependent FoxO1 phosphorylation that correlates with FoxO1 nuclear localization. In response to SIRT1 inhibitors, a proapoptotic transcriptional program appears to be activated as indicated by enhanced PUMA mRNA accumulation. If SIRT1 is activated, a FoxO1-dependent DNA repair response is activated as indicated by GADD45 mRNA accumulation.
