    Abstract Cellular crosstalk plays a vital role in maintaining pancreas homeostasis. Recently, in Cell Metabolism, Basile et al. demonstrated that aberrant upregulation of acinar-cell-specific pancreatic elastase CELA3B within endocrine islets reduces β-cell viability in type 2 diabetes (T2D). This identifies detrimental acinar-β-cell crosstalk as a novel pathogenic mechanism in diabetes.

    Abstract In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Cheng et al. identify olfactory receptor Olfr109 in β cells with increased expression in islets from mouse models of obesity and type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Binding of a small insulin fragment to Olfr109 fosters islet inflammation, β cell failure, and diabetes progression.

    Abstract The pro-apoptotic kinase Mammalian Sterile 20-like kinase 1 (MST1), an integral component of the Hippo pathway, is a key regulator of organ size, stress response, and tissue homeostasis; its aberrant hyperactivation is linked to multiple pathological disorders including diabetes. Here we show that MST1 deletion in mice resulted in improved glucose tolerance and insulin secretion, and restored pancreatic β-cell mass as a result of improved β-cell survival and proliferation in the combined high fat/high sucrose and streptozotocin (HFS/STZ) model of β-cell destruction and diabetes. Importantly, the glucose-lowering effects in the MST1-knockout (KO) mice could be accounted to the enhanced β-cell mass and improved insulin secretion without changes in insulin sensitivity. Metabolic and morphological data suggest that normalization of blood glucose and insulin secretion, islet architecture, and β-cell mass by MST1 deletion in response to diabetes-induced injury occurs as a result of improved β-cell survival and proliferation establishing MST1 as potent regulator of physiological β-cell turnover.

    Abstract A progressive decline in the macroautophagic/autophagic flux is a hallmark of pancreatic β-cell failure in type 2 diabetes (T2D) but the responsible intrinsic factors and underlying molecular mechanisms are incompletely understood. A stress-sensitive multicomponent cellular loop of the Hippo pathway kinase LATS2 (large tumor suppressor 2), MTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase) complex 1 (MTORC1) and autophagy regulates β-cell survival and metabolic adaptation. Chronic metabolic stress leads to LATS2 hyperactivation which then induces MTORC1, subsequently impairing the cellular autophagic flux and consequently triggering β-cell death. Reciprocally, under physiological conditions, autophagy controls β-cell survival by lysosomal degradation of LATS2. These signaling cross-talks and the interaction between autophagy and LATS2 are important for the regulation of β-cell turnover and functional compensation under metabolic stress.

    Abstract Objective: Drug addiction is a chronic mental disorder that significantly impacts all aspects of an individual's life, and substance use disorder in patients with bipolar disorder. The objective of this study is to assess the frequency of substance abuse among patients with bipolar spectrum disorder.
    Method: This cross-sectional study evaluated the frequency of bipolar spectrum disorder in patients taking methadone through various screening measures, including Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), DSM IV criteria, Mood Disorders Questionnaire (MDQ), Goodwin and Ghaemi's criteria, and Akiskal classification for bipolar disorders.
    Results: Out of the total 197 participants in the study, 77 were identified as individuals engaging in poly-substance abuse. The investigation assessed the frequency of bipolar spectrum disorder based on various diagnostic criteria: 24% according to DSM-IV criteria, 29.9% using MDQ, 29.9% based on Ghaemi and Goodwin's criteria, and the highest rate at 48.2% when applying Akiskal's classification.
    Conclusions: This study highlights the high frequency of bipolar disorder among individuals with substance use disorder, especially those with concomitant depression. Therefore, it is crucial to pay special attention to individuals with substance use disorder with co-existing bipolar disorder.
