Research interests: Diabetes, Stem cell research, Clinical Biochemistry, Molecular

Endocrinology.

Molecular mechanism involved in stem cell differentiation into neo-islets formation and

adipogenesis using novel phyto-pharmaceuticals isolated from Enicostemma littorale:

My research is focused on exploring the natural and medicinal properties of one Indian plant

Enicostemma littorale, which has shown by our studies to have antioxidant, antidiabetic,

hypoglycaemic, hypolipidemic and islet neogenic activity (10 Papers). It also discovered to

possess anti-malarial activity. We have identified several novel biomolecules from

Enicostemma Littorale and investigated in vitro islet neogenic from adult progenitor cells and

anti-adipogenic potential, which can be exploited as an attractive option for the treatment of

diabetes. (Gupta et al., IJIB, 2010 and Gupta and Bhonde, Indian patent, 2009). SGL-1 was

characterized to have islet neogenic potential from stem/progenitors (Dadheech et. al., 2013)

and Swertiamarin, an active lead from Enicostemma littorale regulates insulin sensitive

peripheral tissue gene expression by targeting PPAR-γ & improves insulin sensitivity in TIIDM

(Patel et al.,2013). Also, our team in collaboration with (Laval University, Canada) working to

understand molecular mechanism and role of Poly (ADP-ribose) Polymerase enzyme in islet-

neogenesis and adipogenesis from stem precursors.

Molecular mechanism of Insulin resistance:

Emphasis of the work was to elucidate the effect across the HPG axis with respect to steroid

biosynthesis and steroid metabolism and granulose cell as model (15 papers) Present focus


7

is to identify the cellular and molecular mechanisms that are responsible for relaying the actions

of gonadotropins, growth factors, and cytokines in granulose cells with specific reference to

insulin resistance.

We have recently started exploring paradigm in type III diabetes i.e. insulin resistance in brain.

Here we are trying to understand the relation between brain insulin resistance and its effect on

cognitive functions and neurogenesis.

Molecular mechanism of etiopathogenesis of BPH:

Another focus is, to elucidate molecular mechanism of pathogenesis of Benign prostatic

hyperplasia (BPH), and to understand the role of stem cell in the in the disease condition since

endocrine imbalance plays key role in prostate cancer and BPH. We are also doing SNP

analysis of patients especially for AR and ER genes.
