Effects of c-MYC activation on glucose stimulus-secretion coupling events in mouse pancreatic islets.
Alteration of pancreatic beta-cell survival and Preproinsulin gene expression by prolonged hyperglycemia may result from increased c-MYC expression. However, it is unclear whether c-MYC effects on beta-cell function are compatible with its proposed role in glucotoxicity. We therefore tested the effects of short-term c-MYC activation on key beta-cell stimulus-secretion coupling events in islets ...
متن کاملMethyl pyruvate initiates membrane depolarization and insulin release by metabolic factors other than ATP.
The role of mitochondria in stimulus-secretion coupling of pancreatic beta-cells was examined using methyl pyruvate (MP). MP stimulated insulin secretion in the absence of glucose, with maximal effect at 5 mM. K+ (30 mM) alone, or in combination with diazoxide (100 microM), failed to enhance MP-induced secretion. Diazoxide (100 microM) inhibited MP-induced insulin secretion. MP depolarized the ...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملRegulation of Pancreatic Beta Cell Stimulus-Secretion Coupling by microRNAs
Increased blood glucose after a meal is countered by the subsequent increased release of the hypoglycemic hormone insulin from the pancreatic beta cells. The cascade of molecular events encompassing the initial sensing and transport of glucose into the beta cell, culminating with the exocytosis of the insulin large dense core granules (LDCVs) is termed "stimulus-secretion coupling." Impairment ...
متن کاملSulfonilureas en el tratamiento del paciente con diabetes mellitus tipo 2
Sulfonylureas are insulin-secreting drugs that act on specific pancreatic beta-cell receptors. Although initial monotherapy of type 2 diabetes mellitus should focus on the use of metformin, sulfonylureas continue to be effective in the treatment of this disease, provided they are used early when there is still some beta-cell function and, especially, in combination with other oral drugs (metfor...
