A human β-cell line, RNAKT-15, was recently established from human pancreatic islets,
whereby its differentiation into islet-like β-cells (islet-like RNAKT-15) increased its
expression of insulin 2-fold compared with RNAKT-15 cells. To characterize the
differentiation of RNAKT-15 cells into islet-like RNAKT-15, microarray and quantitative
proteomics were performed. Our analysis of differential proteomic and mRNA expression
has resulted in a greater understanding of the molecular functions that are involved in β-cell …
