This may be of relevance to data showing that the induction and activation of NF-κB may afford protection against pancreatic β-cell loss in T1DM models, which the authors attribute to NF-κB induction of miR-150, thereby preventing T1DM-associated inflammation and pancreatic β-cell apoptosis [53]. This evidence concerns the gene NFKB1 and type 1 diabetes mellitus.
