Abstract

The pancreatic beta cell dysfunction is critical cycle in the pathogenesis of diabetes. Hyperglycemia is one of factors that induce pancreatic beta cell dysfunction, but the underlying mechanisms have not been well elucidated. In this study, we reported that a mitochondrial fission modulator, Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp-1), plays an important role in high glucose induced beta cell apoptosis. Drp-1 expressed in islet beta cells was increased drastically under hyperglycemia conditions. Induction of Drp-1 expression significantly promoted high glucose induced apoptosis in Drp-1WT (Drp-1 wild type) inducible beta cell line, but not in Drp-1K38A (a dominant negative mutant of Drp1) inducible beta cell line. We further demonstrated that mitochondrial fission, cytochrome C release, mitochondrial membrane potential decreased, caspase-3 activation and generation of reactive oxygen species were enhanced by induction of Drp-1WT, but prevented by Drp-1K38A in pancreatic beta cells under high glucose condition. These results indicated that Drp-1 mediates high glucose induced pancreatic beta cell apoptosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
