PG - 173-186 LID - 10.1007/978-981-10-6583-5_11 [doi] AB - Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a worldwide escalating health disorder resulting from insulin resistance and functional loss of insulin-producing beta cells that finally cause chronically elevated blood glucose concentrations. Here we review the role of ubiquitously expressed antioxidant protein DJ-1 in the pathogenesis of T2DM. In beta cells, DJ-1 protects against oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and streptozotocin- and cytokine-induced stress and preserves beta cell viability and insulin secretion. In skeletal muscle, DJ-1 controls energy metabolism and efficient fuel utilization, whereas in adipose tissue a role in adipogenesis and obesity-induced inflammation has been reported. This suggests that DJ-1 plays multiple roles in many cell types under metabolically challenging conditions as seen in obesity, insulin resistance, and T2DM.
