Abstract

Recent evidence shows that high glucose levels recruit carbohydrate response element-binding protein, which binds the promoter of thioredoxin-interacting protein (txnip), thereby regulating its expression in β-cells. Overexpression of txnip not only induces β-cell apoptosis but also reduces insulin production. Thus, the discovery of compounds that either inhibit TXNIP activity or suppress its expression was the focus of the present study. INS-1E cells stably transfected with either a txnip proximal glucose response element connected to a luciferase reporter plasmid (BG73) or full-length txnip promoter connected to a luciferase reporter plasmid (CL108) were used in primary and secondary high-throughput screening campaigns, respectively. From 256 000 synthetic compounds, a small molecule compound, W2476 [9-((1-(4-acetyl-phenyloxy)-ethyl)-2-)adenine], was identified as a modulator of the TXNIP-regulated signaling pathway following the screening and characterized using a battery of bioassays. The preventive and therapeutic properties of W2476 were further examined in streptozotocin-induced diabetic and diet-induced obese mice. Treatment with W2476 (1, 5, and 15 μmol/L) dose-dependently inhibited high glucose-induced TXNIP expressio...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
