Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Lipotoxicity plays an important role in the underlying mechanism of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Prolonged exposure of pancreatic β-cells to elevated concentrations of fatty acid is associated with β-cell apoptosis. Recently, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have been reported to have direct beneficial effects on β-cells, such as anti-apoptotic effects, increased β-cell mass, and improvement of β-cell function. The mechanism of GLP-1 receptor agonists' protection of pancreatic β-cells against lipotoxicity is not completely understood. We investigated whether the GLP-1 receptor agonist exendin-4 promoted cell survival and attenuated palmitate-induced apoptosis in murine pancreatic β-cells (MIN6). Exposure of MIN6 cells to palmitate (0.4mM) for 24h caused a significant increase in cell apoptosis, which was inhibited by exendin-4. Exposure of MIN6 cells to exendin-4 caused rapid activation of protein kinase B (PKB) under lipotoxic conditions. Furthermore, LY294002, a PI3K inhibitor, abolished the anti-lipotoxic effect of exendin-4 on MIN6 cells. Exendin-4 also inhibited the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis and down-regulated Bax in MIN6 cells. Exendin-4 enhanced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in the presence of palmitate. Our findings suggest that exendin-4 may prevent lipotoxicity-induced apoptosis in MIN6 cells through activation of PKB and inhibition of the mitochondrial pathway.
