Pancreatic Islet Beta-Cell Apoptosis in Experimental Diabetes Mellitus
نویسنده
چکیده
For screening and detailed studying of antidiabetic medications, various genetic and nongenetic experimental models of diabetes mellitus were used (Islam S., Loots D.T. 2009). And though they are not absolutely equivalent to etiopathogenetic mechanisms of human pathological conditions, each of them represents itself as an integral tool for research into genetic, endocrine, metabolic, morphological changes of this disease (Sarvilina I.V., Maclakov Y.S. 2008).

The role of noggin in regulation of high glucose-induced apoptosis and insulin secretion in INS-1 rat beta cells
Objective(s):The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Noggin on high glucose-induced apoptosis and insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells. Materials and Methods: Different concentrations of glucose were used to examine their effects on INS-1 rat beta cells in vitro. When specific siRNA targeting Noggin and recombinant Noggin were added, apoptosis and insulin secretion wer...
متن کاملNitric Oxide Primes Pancreatic β Cells for Fas-mediated Destruction in Insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus
Fas is an apoptosis-inducing surface receptor involved in controlling tissue homeostasis and function at multiple sites. Here we show that beta cells from the pancreata of newly diagnosed insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients express Fas and show extensive apoptosis among those cells located in proximity to Fas ligand-expressing T lymphocytes infiltrating the IDDM islets. Normal h...
متن کاملQuantitative Assessment of Proliferative Effects of Oral Vanadium on Pancreatic Islet Volumes and Beta Cell Numbers of Diabetic Rats
Background: Oral vanadyl sulfate (vanadium) induces normoglycemia, proliferates beta cells and prevents pancreatic islet atrophy in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Soteriological method is used to quantitate the proliferative effects of vanadium on beta-cell numbers and islet volumes of normal and diabetic rats. Methods: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were made diabetic with intravenous s...
متن کاملUrtica Dioica Distillate Regenerates Pancreatic Beta Cells in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats
Background: Urtica dioica is known as an anti-hyperglycemic plant. Urtica dioica distillate (UD) is a traditional Iranian drink, locally known as “aragh gazaneh”. In spite of its widespread consumption in Iran, according to traditional Iranian medicine, there is no scientific report on the usefulness of UD for diabetic patients. This survey was designed to evaluate its protective effects for th...
متن کاملExpression of IGF-I in pancreatic islets prevents lymphocytic infiltration and protects mice from type 1 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetic patients are diagnosed when beta-cell destruction is almost complete. Reversal of type 1 diabetes will require beta-cell regeneration from islet cell precursors and prevention of recurring autoimmunity. IGF-I expression in beta-cells of streptozotocin (STZ)-treated transgenic mice regenerates the endocrine pancreas by increasing beta-cell replication and neogenesis. Here, we exa...
