Pancreatic b-cells viability and function are impaired in the two most common forms of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. Regeneration of pancreatic b-cells has been proposed as a potential therapy for diabetes. In a preliminary study, we screened a collection of marine products for b-cell proliferation. One unique compound (epoxypukalide) showed capability to induce b-cell replication in the cell line INS1 832/ 13 and in primary rat cell cultures. Epoxypukalide was used to study b-cell proliferation by [3H]thymidine incorporation and BrdU incorporation followed by BrdU/insulin staining in primary cultures of rat islets. AKT and ERK1/2 signalling pathways were analyzed. Cell cycle activators, cyclin D2 and cyclin E, were detected by western-blot. Apoptosis was studied by TUNEL and cleaved caspase 3. b-cell function was measured by glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Epoxypukalide induced 2.5- fold increase in b-cell proliferation; this effect was mediated by activation of ERK1/2 signalling pathway and upregulation of the cell cycle activators, cyclin D2 and cyclin E. Interestingly, epoxypukalide showed protection from basal (40% lower versus control) and cytokine-induced apoptosis (80% lower versus control). Finally, epoxypukalide did not impair b-cell function when measured by glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. In conclusion, epoxypukalide induces b-cell proliferation and protects against basal and cytokine-mediated b-cell death in primary cultures of rat islets. These findings may be translated into new treatments for diabetes. © 2013 López-Acosta et al. | Descripción: | This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0052862 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/93219 | DOI: | 10.1371/journal.pone.0052862 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0052862 issn: 1932-6203 |
