Simplified scheme showing the molecular mechanism of the protection effect of AAT on β cells. AAT enters β cells through clathrin-mediated endocytosis, resulted in the suppression of cytokine-induced JNK pathway activation, leading to the inhibition of mitochondrial dysfunction and caspase 9 activation. This protects β cells from cytokine-induced cell death.
