The proposed model. The elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines, fatty acids and glucose play a key role in triggering beta cell stress and demise. Phlda3 is a novel adaptive beta cell stress response gene induced downstream of XBP1 that promotes beta cell survival via the repression of the NFκB pathway and the maintenance of adequate antioxidant and adaptive UPR gene expression.
