| Abstract | |
Bile acids have received increasing attention over the past years as their multiple alternative roles became clearer. Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid (TUDCA) in specific has generated special interest due to its ability to promote pancreatic survival and function, as well as reduce endoplasmic reticulum stress. However, there are few studies explaining the molecular mechanisms behind TUDCA's beneficial actions on pancreatic beta cells. In this review, we decided to review the literature in order to craft a primer for researchers on what is known about TUDCA's receptors and the molecular pathways involved in this bile acid's function in the endocrine pancreas. We review the studies that focused on G protein-coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5), Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2) and alpha 5 beta 1 Integrin function in pancreatic cells. Our hope is to provide a basis for future studies to expand upon, especially considering the current lack of studies focusing on the importance of these receptors, either through TUDCA signaling or other signaling molecules.
