Project description:Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is one of the most common serine/threonine phosphatases in mammalian cells and primarily functions to regulate cell signaling, glycolipid metabolism, and apoptosis. Its PP2A catalytic subunit (PP2Ac) plays an important role in its function. Nonetheless, at present, there are only a few reports on the regulatory role of PP2Ac in pancreatic β-cells under lipotoxicity. Mouse pancreatic insulinoma (MIN6) cells were transfected by lentiviruses to generate PP2Ac knockdown cells and incubated with palmitate (PA) to establish the lipotoxicity model. Serine/Threonine Phosphatase Assay System kit, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Western Blotting (WB) and other techniques were used to measure PP2A activity, cell viability, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and insulin secretion. An animal model of lipotoxicity with knockdown of PP2Ac was established by a high-fat diet (HFD) after using adeno-associated viruses (AAV) to interfere with PP2Ac expression in mouse pancreatic tissues. Serine/Threonine Phosphatase Assay System kit, ELISA, pancreatic tissue immunofluorescence and other techniques were used to measure PP2A activity in pancreatic tissue, serum insulin level and the proliferation of mouse pancreatic β-cells. We found that PP2Ac knockdown inhibited lipotoxicity-induced PP2A hyperactivation, increased the resistance of pancreatic β-cells to lipotoxicity, decreased PA-induced apoptosis in MIN6 cells, protected the function of both the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria, and improved insulin secretion. By mRNA sequencing and Western blotting analysis, we hypothesized that the protective effects of PP2Ac knockdown in MIN6 cells may be mediated by the MAPK pathway. Moreover, the results obtained from animal experiments suggest that the specific knockdown of pancreatic PP2Ac could effectively attenuate HFD-induced insulin resistance and reduce the compensatory proliferation of pancreatic β-cells in mice. The present study revealed the effects and mechanisms of interfering with PP2Ac gene expression on pancreatic β-cells in vivo and in vitro, which might provide insights for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in the clinic.

Project description:Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is one of the most common serine/threonine phosphatases in mammalian cells, and it primarily functions to regulate cell signaling, glycolipid metabolism and apoptosis. The catalytic subunit of PP2A (PP2Ac) plays an important role in the functions of the protein. However, there are few reports on the regulatory role of PP2Ac in pancreatic β-cells under lipotoxic conditions. In the present study, mouse insulinoma 6 (MIN6) pancreatic cells were transfected with short hairpin RNAs to generate PP2Ac knockdown cells and incubated with palmitate (PA) to establish a lipotoxicity model. Serine/threonine phosphatase assay system, Cell Counting Kit-8, flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and western blotting were used to measure PP2A activity, cell viability, apoptosis, oxidative stress and insulin secretion in the cells. In addition, a mouse model of lipotoxicity was established with a high-fat diet (HFD) and the knockdown of PP2Ac using adeno-associated viruses to interfere with PP2Ac expression in the pancreatic tissues. The activity of PP2A in the mouse pancreatic tissue and the serum insulin level were measured. Furthermore, the proliferation of mouse pancreatic β-cells was assessed using pancreatic tissue immunofluorescence. PP2Ac knockdown inhibited lipotoxicity-induced PP2A hyperactivation, increased the resistance of pancreatic β-cells to lipotoxicity and attenuated PA-induced apoptosis in MIN6 cells. It also protected the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, and ameliorated insulin secretion. The results of mRNA sequencing and western blotting analysis suggested that the protective effects of PP2Ac knockdown in MIN6 cells may be mediated via the MAPK pathway. Moreover, the results of the animal experiments suggested that specific knockdown of pancreatic PP2Ac effectively attenuated HFD-induced insulin resistance and reduced the compensatory proliferation of pancreatic β-cells in mice. In summary, the present study revealed the effects of interfering with PP2Ac gene expression on pancreatic β-cells in vivo and in vitro and the underlying mechanisms, which may provide insights for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the clinic.
