Kisspeptin-Activated Autophagy Independently Suppresses Non-Glucose-Stimulated Insulin Secretion from Pancreatic β-Cells.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated the important role of kisspeptin in impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). In addition, it was reported that the activation of autophagy in pancreatic β-cells decreases insulin secretion by selectively degrading insulin granules. However, it is currently unknown whether kisspeptin suppresses GSIS in β-cells by activating autophagy. To investigate the involvement of autophagy in kisspeptin-regulated insulin secretion, we overexpressed Kiss1 in NIT-1 cells to mimic the long-term exposure of pancreatic β-cells to kisspeptin during type 2 diabetes (T2D). Interestingly, our data showed that although kisspeptin potently decreases the intracellular proinsulin and insulin ((pro)insulin) content and insulin secretion of NIT-1 cells, autophagy inhibition using bafilomycin A1 and Atg5 siRNAs only rescues basal insulin secretion, not kisspeptin-impaired GSIS. We also generated a novel in vivo model to investigate the long-term exposure of kisspeptin by osmotic pump. The in vivo data demonstrated that kisspeptin lowers GSIS and (pro)insulin levels and also activated pancreatic autophagy in mice. Collectively, our data demonstrated that kisspeptin suppresses both GSIS and non-glucose-stimulated insulin secretion of pancreatic β-cells, but only non-glucose-stimulated insulin secretion depends on activated autophagic degradation of (pro)insulin. Our study provides novel insights for the development of impaired insulin secretion during T2D progression.
