Table 2.
Effects of TSA on insulin mRNA levels and various stages of the RSP of GLUTag-INS and EINS, represented as a fold-difference from non-treated GLUTag-INS. Basal secretion results are represented under the proinsulin and insulin secretion column. Average non-treated GLUTag-INS values were mRNA-1.0, intracellular proinsulin-4.2 fmol/105 cells, intracellular insulin-142 fmol/105 cells, basally secreted proinsulin-8.6 fmol/(105 cells·h), and basally secreted insulin-15.3 fmol/(105 cells·h).
