β cells have a limited capacity for regeneration, which predisposes towards diabetes. Here, we show that, of the MYC family members,Myclplays a key role in proliferation of pancreatic endocrine cells. Genetic ablation ofMyclcauses a reduction in the proliferation of pancreatic endocrine cells in neonatal mice. By contrast, the expression ofMyclin adult mice stimulates the proliferation of β and α cells, and the cells persist after withdrawal ofMyclexpression. A subset of the expanded α cells give rise to insulin-producing cells after this withdrawal. TransientMyclexpression in vivo is sufficient to normalize the hyperglycaemia of diabetic mice. In vitro expression ofMyclsimilarly provokes active replication in islet cells, even in those from aged mice. Finally, we show thatMYCLstimulates the division of human adult cadaveric islet cells. Our results demonstrate that the induction ofMyclalone expands the functional β-cell population, which may provide a regenerative strategy for β cells.
