Regenerating 1 and 3b Gene Expression in the Pancreas of Type 2 Diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) Rats

Abstract: Regenerating (REG) proteins are associated with islet development, β-cell damage, diabetes and pancreatitis. Particularly, REG-1 and REG-3-beta are involved in cell growth/survival and/or inflammation and the Reg1 promoter contains interleukin-6 (IL-6)-responsive elements. We showed by transcriptome analysis that islets of Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats, a model of spontaneous type 2 diabetes, overexpress Reg1, 3α, 3β and 3γ, vs Wistar islets. Goto-Kakizaki rat islets also exhibit increased cytokine/chemokine express… Show more

“…IH also increased β cell mass by up-regulation of Reg and HGF to overcome reduced glucose-induced insulin secretion and insulin resistance, causing hyperinsulinemia and making patients more obese; this worsened their SAS anatomically. The feature of gene expression in IH-treated pancreatic β cells was in agreement with that found in GK rat islets which showed down-regulation of CD38 [29] as well as up-regulation of Reg family genes [73]. …”

“…Chronic inflammation in GK islets has been demonstrated and considered as a pathophysiological contributor in T2D (29,39). In the current study, temporal expression of proinflammatory cytokines revealed two distinct stages: early priming and late amplification.…”

“…REG3B might influence the development of diabetes as it is expressed not only in the intestine but also in the pancreas, acting in pancreatic β‐cell proliferation and regeneration . Goto‐Kakizaki rats that spontaneously develop diabetes showed overexpression of islet Reg3b . This was explained as a response to the inflammation leading to islet injury .…”

“…(45,46) Goto-Kakizaki rats that spontaneously develop diabetes showed overexpression of islet Reg3b. (47) This was explained as a response to the inflammation leading to islet injury. (48) In addition, human betacell tissues of type 2 diabetics had increased expression of human Reg family members, presumably as a response to inflammation.…”
