1 15546994 To dissect and quantitate these two separate effects, we compared the skeletal muscle gene-expression profiles of muscle insulin receptor knockout (MIRKO) mice and their Lox controls in the basal, streptozotocin-induced diabetic, and insulin-treated diabetic states.
2 15546994 Pure deficiency of insulin action as present in the MIRKO mouse results in regulation of 130 genes, with down-regulation of NSF (N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein) and VAMP-2 (vesicle-associated membrane protein 2), stearoyl CoA desaturase 1, and cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase 4B, as well as up-regulation of some signaling-related genes, such as Akt2, and the fatty-acid transporter CD36.
3 17991719 Diminished phosphodiesterase-8B potentiates biphasic insulin response to glucose.
4 17991719 Using RT-PCR and Western blot analyses, we identified PDE3A, PDE3B, PDE4B, PDE4D, and PDE8B in rat islets and in INS-1E cells and several possible splice variants of these PDEs.
5 17991719 Specific depletion of PDE3A with small interfering (si) RNA (siPDE3A) led to a small (67%) increase in the insulin response to glucose in INS-1E cells but not rat islets. siPDE3A had no effect on the glucagon-like peptide-1 (10 nmol/liter) potentiated insulin response in rat islets.
6 17991719 Depletion in PDE8B levels in rat islets using similar technology (siPDE8B) increased insulin response to glucose by 70%, the potentiation being of similar magnitude during the first and second phase insulin release.
7 17991719 The siPDE8B-potentiated insulin response was further increased by 23% when glucagon-like peptide-1 was included during the glucose stimulus.
8 17991719 We propose that PDE8B, an 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine-insensitive cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase, could prove a novel target for enhanced insulin response, affecting a specific pool of cAMP involved in the control of insulin granule trafficking and exocytosis.
