Abstract

Certain nutrients and growth factors can stimulate pancreatic beta-cell growth. However, the appropriate mitogenic signaling pathways in beta-cells have been relatively undefined. In this study, differential gene expression in NEDH rat insulinoma was compared with NEDH rat primary islet beta-cells. Differential mRNA display analysis revealed an elevated expression in insulinoma of VL30 transposons, S24 ribosomal protein, and cytochrome-C oxidaseVIIc that is typical for cells undergoing mitosis. A gene candidate approach revealed that mRNA levels of the oncogenes c-fos and c-jun were equivalently expressed in insulinoma and islet cells, as was the mRNA for the mitogenic signal transduction molecule insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1. However, in contrast to that of IRS-1, IRS-2 gene expression was 60- to 70-fold higher in the insulinoma tissue compared with islets, which was reflected at the protein as well as the mRNA level. The specific elevated IRS-2 expression was a consistent observation across all rodent pancreatic beta-cell lines. To investigate whether IRS-2 was functional, serum-stimulated beta-cell proliferation was examined in isolated insulinoma cells. After a 48-h period of serum withdrawal, 24 h of serum refeeding ...Continue Reading
