Autocrine IGF2 programmes β-cell plasticity under conditions of increased metabolic demand

Abstract When exposed to nutrient excess and insulin resistance, pancreatic β-cells undergo adaptive changes in order to maintain glucose homeostasis. The role that growth control genes, highly expressed in early pancreas development, might exert in programming β-cell plasticity in later life is a p...

However, pregnant Igf2 βKO females become hyperglycemic and hyperinsulinemic, and their conceptuses exhibit hyperinsulinemia and placentomegalia. Insulin resistance induced by congenital leptin deficiency also renders Igf2 βKO females more hyperglycaemic compared to leptin-deficient controls. Upon high-fat diet feeding, Igf2 βKO females are less susceptible to develop insulin resistance. Based on these findings, we conclude that in female mice, autocrine actions of β-cell IGF2 during early development determine their adaptive capacity in adult life.Ionel SandoviciConstanze M.
