Apoptotic cell death triggered by nitric oxide in pancreatic beta-cells

Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO) is believed to be an effector molecule that mediates interleukin (IL)-1 beta-induced destruction and dysfunction of pancreatic beta-cells. We have demonstrated that both exogenous NO and NO generated endogenously by IL-1 beta brought about apoptosis of isolated rat pancreatic islet cells as well as pancreatic beta-cell tumor-derived cell line HIT. This apoptosis was characterized by cleavage of DNA into nucleosomal fragments of 180-200 bp and morphologically by nuclear shrinkage, chromatic condensation, and apoptotic body formation. The IL-1 beta-induced internucleosomal DNA cleavage occurred in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Actinomycin D, cycloheximide, and nitric oxide synthase inhibitors inhibited the DNA cleavage, which was correlated with the amount of NO produced, indicating that NO produced by HIT cells themselves could mediate the apoptosis. Furthermore, in the presence of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, large amounts of NO were produced by IL-1 beta and DNA cleavage occurred more noticeably, although TNF-alpha alone did not generate NO. Streptozotocin (STZ), a diabetogenic reagent containing a nitroso moiety, also released NO and induced internucleosomal DNA cleavage in HIT cells. These result...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Adenoma, Islet Cell

Islet Cell Adenoma arises in the islet cells, which are insulin producing cells of the pancreas. These tumors can be either malignant or benign. Discover the latest research on Islet Cell Adenoma here.
