|
|
• male mice treated with tamoxifen at 8 weeks of age (to induce IER3IP1 deletion in beta cells in early adulthood) develop a diabetic phenotype
|
|
|
• adult male mice show a reduction of proinsulin and insulin content in pancreatic islets at 2 and 4 weeks after tamoxifen injection
|
|
|
• adult mice show persistent hyperglycemia at 4 weeks after tamoxifen injection
|
|
|
• adult mice show decreased serum insulin levels at 4 weeks after tamoxifen injection
|
|
|
• adult mice show significantly higher blood glucose levels than control littermates at all time points tested in oral glucose tolerance tests starting from 2 weeks after tamoxifen injection
|
|
|
• pancreatic islets show significantly increased mRNA levels of Trib3 (a mediator of ER stress-induced cell death) at 4 weeks after tamoxifen injection
• in contrast, mRNA levels of the antiapoptotic gene Bcl2 are significantly suppressed

|
|
|
• pancreatic islets of adult male mice show significantly reduced mRNA levels of beta-cell transcription factors both at 2 weeks (Mafa) and at 4 weeks (Mafa, Pdx1, and Nkx6-1) after tamoxifen injection, along with decreases in PDX1 and NKX6-1 protein levels at 4 weeks post-injection

|
• mice treated with tamoxifen exhibit long-term, persistent hypoglycemia
|
|

|
• islets from tamoxifen-treated mice show enhanced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion
• however, tamoxifen treated mice show normal body weight, food intake and no changes in beta cell mass
