Roles for the long non-coding RNA Pax6os1/PAX6-AS1 in pancreatic beta cell function
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as crucial regulators of beta cell function. Here, we show that an lncRNA-transcribed antisense to Pax6, annotated as Pax6os1/PAX6-AS1, was upregulated by high glucose concentrations in human as well as murine beta cell lines and islets. Elevated expression was also observed in islets from mice on a high-fat diet and patients with type 2 diabetes. Silencing Pax6os1 / PAX6-AS1 in MIN6 or EndoC-βH1 cells increased several beta cell signature genes' expression. Pax6os1/PAX6-AS1 was shown to bind to EIF3D, indicating a role in translation of specific mRNAs, as well as histones H3 and H4, suggesting a role in histone modifications. Important interspecies differences were found, with a stronger phenotype in humans. Only female Pax6os1 null mice fed a high-fat diet showed slightly enhanced glucose clearance. In contrast, silencing PAX6-AS1 in human islets enhanced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and increased calcium dynamics, whereas overexpression of the lncRNA resulted in the opposite phenotype.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
