PMID:17472435 in human adipocytes and skeletal muscle cells differentiated in vitro, using RNA interference to TXNIP PMID:18458340 in HA1ER cells (human embryonic kidney epithelial cells,express hTERT, the early region from simian virus 40, and HA H-RasG12V), knock-down of MondoA induces reduced expression of TXNIP and increased glucose uptake, which is reversed by ectopic expression of TXNIP
