Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of mitochondrial fission on the function of pancreatic β cells.Methods INS-1 stable cell lines allowing inducible expression of either wild-type dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp-1 WT)or its dominant-negative mutant(Drp-1 K38A)were used.The effect of mitochondrial fission on the function of pancreatic β cells were investigated under different concentrations of glucose.Results There were increased mitochondrial fission and disintegration of the mitochondrial reticulum into multiple punctiform organelles in Drp-1 WT cells induced with doxycycline under high glucose condition.Insulin secretion(P<0.01),mitochondrial membrane potential(P<0.05),and ATP content(P<0.05)were decreased and cytochrome C expression was increased after the expression of Drp-1 WT under high glucose condition while these changes were markedly mild in Drp-1 K38A expression cells.Conclusion The increased mitochondrial fission inhibits pancreatic β cell function.
