Aim To study the insulinotropic effects of Efaroxan and the underlying mechanism in rat βcells. Methods Pancreatic islets were isolated by college-nase p digestion.Radioimmunoassay was used to meas-ure insulin secretion and cAMP level in rat pancreatic islets.Results Efaroxan only potentiated insulin se-cretion at high glucose concentrations(8.3,1 1 .1 mmol ·L -1 )but not at low glucose concentrations.KU1 4R,an antagonist of Efaroxan,remarkably inhibited Efarox-an-potentiated insulin secretion;and similarly,KU1 4R significantly inhibited forskolin-induced and IBMX-in-duced insulin secretion.cAMP measurement showed that forskolin and IBMX significantly increased cAMP levels,but Efaroxan and KU1 4R had no effects on cAMP content in pancreatic islets.Conclusion The mechanism of Efaroxan-potentiated insulin secretion is related to downstream of cAMP signaling pathway, KU1 4R antagonized the downstream of cAMP signaling leading to its inhibitory effects on Efaroxan,forskolin and IBMX-induced insulin secretion.

Objective:To explore the regulatory role of exosomes in calcification of rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) induced by high phosphorus.Methods:VSMC (A7r5 cells) were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into three groups: normal phosphorus group (0.9 mmol/L), high phosphorus group (2.6 mmol/L) and high phosphorus exosomes induction group (i.e. the exosomes extracted from high phosphorus group were added to VSMC in normal culture). Until the 7th day of culture, the culture medium of normal phosphorus group and high phosphorus group obtained during the change of cell culture medium was collected, and the precipitate was obtained by ultracentrifugation and suspended by phosphate buffered saline. The protein content of the precipitate was determined by BCA protein quantitative method. The precipitates were identified. The structure and size of exosomes were observed by transmission electron microscope. The exosomes marker proteins tumor susceptibility gene 101 protein (TSG101) and CD9 were detected by Western blotting. The miRNA in exosomes was extracted, and the expression of related miRNA (miR-30b, miR-204, miR-211) were observed by real-time quantitative PCR. After 7 days of cultivation, the exosomes uptake process of VSMC in high phosphorus exosomes induction group was observed. The calcium deposition was detected by Alizarin stain, and the calcium content was detected by O-cresol complex copper. The content of alkaline phosphatase was detected by colorimetry. The protein expression of Runx2 was quantified by Western blotting. Results:(1) The precipitate obtained by ultracentrifugation of the cell culture fluid was identified as exosomes by electron microscopy morphology. Western blotting confirmed that the expression of the exosomal marker proteins TSG101 and CD9 were positive. (2) The exosomes were rich in miRNAs. The expression of miR-30b, miR-204, miR-211, which negatively regulated the transcription of Runx2, was significantly down-regulated in the high-phosphorus group compared with the normal group ( P<0.05). (3) After culturing rat VSMC with high phosphorus for 7 days, calcium salt deposition was obvious. Compared with the normal phosphorus group, calcium content and alkaline phosphatase activity were significantly increased (both P<0.05), and Runx2 expression was also significantly increased ( P<0.05). (4) Added the obtained high-phosphorus exosomes to the normal cultured VSMC, the exosomes could be taken up by VSMC and successfully induced VSMC calcification. The levels of cell calcification indicators and Runx2 expression were significantly increased. Conclusions:High phosphorus induces calcification of VSMC and promotes the increase of Runx2 expression. The mechanism may be realized by releasing exosomes from VSMC to transmit cell signals.
