The molecular link between obesity and P cell failure that causes diabetes is difficult to establish. Here we show that a conditional knockout of insulin receptor substrate 2 (Irs2) in mouse pancreas P cells and parts of the brain-including the hypothalamus-increased appetite, lean and fat body mass, linear growth, and insulin resistance that progressed to diabetes. Diabetes resolved when the mice were between 6 and 10 months of age: functional P cells expressing Irs2 repopulated the pancreas, restoring sufficient P cell function to compensate for insulin resistance in the obese mice. Thus, Irs2 signaling promotes regeneration of adult P cells and central control of nutrient homeostasis, which can prevent obesity and diabetes in mice.
