Pancreatic-duodenal homoeobox factor-1 (PDX1) is a homoeo-domain transcription factor that plays an important role in linking glucose metabolism in pancreatic beta cells to the regulation of insulin gene transcription. Our previous results indicated that glucose activates PDX1 DNA-binding activity and insulin promoter activity via a stress-activated signalling pathway involving phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PtdIns 3-kinase) and stress-activated protein kinase 2 (SAPK2/p38).
