Abstract
While cytoplasmic ARC maintains survival of insulin-producing pancreatic β cells, McKimpson et al. show that a pool of ARC relocates to the nucleus during diabetes where it paradoxically triggers cell death. The mechanism involves downregulation of AAT expression and secretion unleashing elastase-dependent loss of β cell adhesion and cell death.
