Fractalkine (CX3CL1), a new factor protecting β-cells against TNFα
2014
Objective
We have previously shown the existence of a muscle–pancreas intercommunication axis in which CX3CL1 (fractalkine), a CX3C chemokine produced by skeletal muscle cells, could be implicated. It has recently been shown that the fractalkine system modulates murine β-cell function. However, the impact of CX3CL1 on human islet cells especially regarding a protective role against cytokine-induced apoptosis remains to be investigated.
