Expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) in normal human pancreatic islet cells

Abstract: We found that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma is highly expressed in human islet endocrine cells, both at the mRNA and protein levels. These results support the hypothesis of a direct influence of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma agonist on human pancreatic endocrine cells.

“…The effects of thiazolidinediones on pancreatic beta cell function are not consistent among different reports, mostly because of differences in experimental design [4,13,14,[35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. More studies need to be done to substantiate our understanding of the signalling pathway involved in rosiglitazone-induced insulin secretion through regulation of K ATP channel activity by AMPK.…”

“…Dubois et al (29) suggested that the cause of β-cell dysfunction in Ala allele may be due to chronic exposure to elevated free fatty acids and/or hyperglycemia, which are characteristic for overt type 2 diabetes, leading to alteration or even reversion of the effect of the genetic variant.…”

“…Whereas PPAR␥1 is present in many mammalian tissues, the expression of PPAR␥2 is confined largely to adipose tissue (48). Both PPAR␥ mRNA and protein have been detected in human (13) and rodent (4,53) pancreatic islets, although the relative levels of the ␥1 and ␥2 isoforms have yet to be established in this tissue.…”
