Abstract

We have cloned a second insulin gene in zebrafish and studied temporal and spatial expression of two zebrafish insulin genes. Zebrafish insulin-a ( insa) and -b ( insb) mRNAs are derived from two different DNA contigs on chromosomes 5 and 14, respectively, representing two different insulin genes. Real-time PCR studies suggest that insa is a maternal and also a postzygotic transcript. insa was observed at 1 h postfertilization (hpf) and was rapidly degraded by 6 and 12 hpf but induced at 24 hpf (i.e., after pancreas formation). Expression levels at 24 hpf were ∼220-fold higher than at 6 hpf and were significantly different from earlier time points. At 72 hpf (at time of hatching), zebrafish insa mRNA levels tended to be higher than at 24 hpf and were ∼727-fold higher compared with 6 hpf. This further increase in insa expression may be one of the many rapid physiological changes associated with hatching. insb expression was observed from 1 hpf and was significantly decreased from 12 hpf onward. Its expression levels at 12 and 24 hpf were approximately twofold and sixfold lower, respectively, compared with expression at 6 hpf. insb expression levels at 48 hpf were significantly lower than at 24 hpf but not different from 72 hpf. Expression levels at 72 hpf were ∼61-fold lower than at 6 hpf. In situ hybridization studies showed insb expression in proliferating blastomeres at 3 and 4 hpf. At later time points, insb expression was restricted to the brain and pancreas (24 and 48 hpf). insa expression was observed in the pancreas at 24 and 48 hpf. Expression of insb in blastomeres and head suggests that insb could be acting as a pro-growth, survival, and neurotrophic factor during development. Pancreatic insa and insb may both be involved in regulation of glucose homeostasis as in mammals.

Human Insulin is active in zebrafish because its mature form shares extensive amino acid identity with zebrafish Insulin and was previously shown to activate zebrafish Insulin receptors.
“We suspected that human Insulin would be active in zebrafish because its mature form exhibits extensive amino acid identity (~77%) with that of zebrafish and it was previously shown to activate zebrafish Insulin receptors (Papasani et al., 2006; Toyoshima et al., 2008).”

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.
