Txnrd1-deficient β-cells have altered expression of genes involved in heme metabolism and glutathione metabolism. (A and B) Heat map showing Log2 (RPKM) of selected genes involved in heme metabolism (A) or glutathione metabolism (B) in Txnrd1+/+, Ins1Cre/+ (+/+; Cre+) and Txnrd1fl/fl, Ins1Cre/+ (fl/fl; Cre+) β-cell samples as determined by RNA-sequencing. All genes shown are significantly different between the genotypes. (C) Measurement of total glutathione levels in Txnrd1fl/fl, Ins1+/+ (fl/fl) and Txnrd1fl/fl, Ins1Cre/+ (Cre+) islets. Results are the average of 3–4 independent experiments with statistical significance indicated. *P <0.05 (vs. fl/fl).
