Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated rec eptor γ (PPARγ) and glucokinase (GK) induced by Wnt signaling pathway in mice NIT-1 β-cells,and to explore the interaction between PPARγ and Wnt signaling pathways.Methods Recombinant Wnt3a protein was applied to NIT-1 beta-cells to activate Wnt signaling pathway.The expression of PPARγ was determined by real-time PCR and Western blotting.The expression of GK was determined by real time PCR.Results Wnt3a rapidly activated Wnt/β-catenin/TCF signaling pathway,and increased PPARγ and GK mRNA expression by 41.2％ and 65.0％ in NIT-1cells,with PPARγ protein expression increasing by 97.8％ (P＜0.01).These effects were abrogated by Wnt and PIK3 inhibitors,dickkopf 1 and wortmannin treatment (P＜ 0.01).Conclusions PPARγ and GK can be upregulated by Wnt singnaling,and the effects might partially be PI3K-dependent.
